“I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.” MenNeedsWellsEnoughMy OwnWorryStyleMastersGeniusFameModelsGuidesCeaseWell BeingCopiesFree Man Author:Pietro Aretino
“In terms of style I typically veer toward a certain masculinity. My style inspirations range from images of my father in his 1970s suits, to Tilda Swinton, to Hugh Hefner, to Sharon Stone and her ferocious sexuality, to handsome men I see on the streets of New York.” MenInspirationCertainFatherTermStreetsStyleNew YorkStonesSexualitySuitsRangeMasculinityHandsomeSharonHandsome Men Author:Rachael Taylor
“The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man's personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.” MenWayYearsLooksBodyFacesAttitudeFocusSubjectsFashionStyleChangedPhotographyMalesMasculinePersonal StyleChanging Attitude Author:Mario Testino
“Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the throbbing of this pulse,--in short, as any part of his being is at least subjected to the action of the will.” MenActionStyleFiguresChangedPulsePhysiognomy Author:Isaac D'Israeli
