so GQ has released their annual Best - Dressed list for 2010 in association with Allsaints Spitalfields. For those of you who want a hard copy you should be able to pick up the handout at any allsaints store, as well as vogue one for all you fashion following females.
A countdown of Britain's most stylish men reveals some surprising entries, as well as some very pleasing ones.
A surprising addition is the re-entry of ronnie corbett (someone you never expect to see if a fashion magazine when you pick one up) at 46, nevertheless as GQ puts it 'good things come in little packages.' HE stick to his clean crisp suits, which naturally never date. He's followed by Grace Jones as 42, Prince Charles at 36, Sir Elton at 14, i can see why this one may be considered stylish but still really? My final surprise at the magnificent No.4 is the very odd fantastic Mr Fox. However having not seen the film im not sure im in a good enough position to comment, but how does a animated fox become best dressed? Although he is a character who has been associated with fashion being part of Gaps windows in Oxford Street last season....... apparently tweed is a go-er.
Unfortunately for some of the men featured they have dropped a severe number of places from last years list. Christian Bale, this years No.40, has unfortunately dropped 26 places from 14. I personally think Batman has never been so stylish. Price Charles dropped an even bigger number of places, a HUGE 31, as well as Lucian Freud dropping 28, and Christopher Bailey 21. However i feel the harshest blow come to poor Mark Ronson, although im not a fan, i feel for him. Everyone knows last year he was THE best dressed, and this year he is a mere 30, something i don't think he will be happy with.
At Number 44 this year we have Ashley Cole, a new entry for best dressed....... but is this a surprise when he has britain's favourite female celebrity at his side. No doubt Cheryl has been dressing him so that he keeps up to her standard, ill be surprised if he can tie his owe tie to be honest. But you do have to admit, lately he is more of a trend setter than a fashion follower. I say well done to ashley for making it, but not so sure if he will be here next year.
Finally before i get to NO.1 some of my favourite entries. At 22 we see the CBBLB host, George Lamb, so ok i think his style is an acquired taste, but still elegant and sophisticated. You never see him without his blazer, or some tailored trousers. Tom Ford, teh man that saved Gucci, and gone on to start his own Brand at No.05, a fantastic result. He has a very clean and crisp style, and never gets it wrong, who wouldn't want to be seen with him? Personally i feel he is going up even further next year, a possible No.1?
Now this is gunna be no surprise but my favourite entry is ofcourse, David Beckham. My all time style icon, the man i love, what man doesn't love him? This year he has gained the chart, now at No.9, the Beckhams are without a doubt the most stylish couple going, and have been for a long time.
Right finally No.1, im sure many of you ladies will love it but personally i don't see it, nor am i a big fan, well no fan at all. So, it is everyone's favourite vampire Robert Pattinson, that is unless you like jacob. Pictured here in Allsaints he looks very cool, but im sure he didn't dress himself, as their was most definitely going to be a stylist at the shoot.
So their is my low down on GQ's best dressed list for this year, im sure many of you will disagree, but who cares? its my opinion.
Finally no new purchases or rare finds, however i find myself going in every Allsaints i see, and like what i find, maybe you guys should check it out if your not a fan yet.
Look forward to writing again :)
