If you are one of many suffers of the 80’s style influenza that’s sweeping through fashion this year, put your training wheels on and take a lesson from the original. Richard Gere made the whole country leave bell bottoms and shaggy grooming behind with the 1980 release of Paul Schrader’s American Gigolo.
Just as the title suggests, Gere plays an escort that exclusively serves wealthy Los Angeles women of a certain age. Pay no attention to the pointless plot, it’s the styling that steals the show. Skinny belts and ties, sports jackets with layered polo shirts, trench coats, preppy v-neck sweaters and t-shirts; its all classic and all included in the show. This also marks the first time that Giorgio Armani is properly introduced to the international scene, as its his clothes that enhance the films interpretation of the carefree All-American bachelor’s life (if that bachelor gets paid for sex, of course).Put on your penny loafers and click here to purchase a copy today:
