Epiphany of blatantly obvious?

When watching a new release from Rampley & Co tonight on the regatta blazer, I was blown away by the artistry that goes into the design and construction of a well made regatta blazer. It is pure artistry, with a mix of engineering. I’ve felt this way with ties: some of these are so stunning they can only be described as art. Many other aspects of a gentleman’s outfit can be described this way.

So what does that make us, the ones assembling an outfit? I used to say this was art work. Now I think it is more accurately described as a curator. Like a museum curator, we select the right pieces of art to not simply harmonize but to tell a story. The individual pieces can say a lot of diverse plots, but the overall effect needs to tell a unified story.

Maybe I’m still askew on my sleep and time zone…

PS. I recognize the irony of classifying my outfit assembly as curation when I often use AI to do so 😀
