Behind the scenes of the Pirelli Calendar lensed by Terry Richardson

The video above provides a few indisputable reasons that we at First Street Style like to ride Pirellis courtesy of thecut. Watch and enjoy while reflecting on the truth that life is good, but living is better!

Minutia matters...

Behold the stance of his shirt's collar...

...and the monogram on the left stomach section,

and the undone sleeve buttons.

Contrary to popular belief, it's okay to sweat the small stuff when it comes to matters of style. This is the beginning of the journey that leads to style. Hence, a further foray into the understanding that "life is good, but living is better!"

The Art of DE... Adrien Sauvage

Sauvage.

At the ripe age of 27, Adrien Sauvage has become a force for reckoning on London's fashion scene. Once a formidable foe on English hardwood, Sauvage unlaced his sneakers at 19 to lace others with style. The young visionary stylist has teamed with debonair English radio and TV presenter George Lamb to form a unique brand that dwells on the outer boundaries of fashion's traditional structure. The first collection titled, "This is Not a Suit," is a harmonious gumbo of modern proportions and styling seasoned with a dash of Savile Row's fabric staples. This is evidenced with the surprising pairing of Prince of Wales plaid with baby corduroy. Sauvage has been promoting the line with photography that can be seen on his website, http://www.thisisnotasuit.com/. Witness some looks from the collection after the click.

Sauvage has also applied his styling to the world of cinema for a dynamic experimental film titled The Art of DE. This exclusive sneak peek was featured on Nowness.

Entertainment First... Esperanza Spalding

 

In my continuous quest to indulge in good living, dynamic entertainment is paramount; and so it is later tonight when I will breathe deeply as I take in the exceptional artistry of the lovely Miss Esperanza Spalding at the historic Lincoln Theatre. After all, "life is good, but living is better."

Classic Lauryn Hill... live in Japan!

Lauryn Hill is one of the finest MC's & vocal stylists to ever grace the stage. She has been an inspiration to me for a number of years, so when I stumbled upon this gem I had to share it. 

Light a candle, draw a warm bath, submerge the cares of the day, and indulge as Ms. Hill transports you to a place where "life is good, but living is better!" Enjoy.
