Wherever he goes men's, Ben Cobb is there. This summer in London, Milan, Paris and New York, there he was, sitting in the front row almost every show. And if he is out of the workplace on the road, to withstand the style of street photographers can not take his picture.
It has a signature look, with a black mustache, well equipped, flares trousers, silk shirt unbuttoned half navel. A blog focuses on Vogue Cobb to make the case for people to fish back.
It is natural that its retro look is to take over from head to foot a costume fashion in the world. But, speaking for Mr. Cobb, editor of British fashion Another man, every day sartorially 1974. The decade him and heard called.
"Most of the things I like to fall in all this time, for some reason," Cobb said. "The way at the time - I still think there's something really magical about this time that is not boring for me at least."
Cobb sat in his hotel, the Loews Regency, last month between appointments during his visit to New York Bar. Had rashes Gucci, Louis Vuitton white shirt and black boots Saint Laurent. Chains hanging around his neck. Now customers and I looked in awe how it thaws during the meeting of 70 men.
Mr. Cobb, 40, who is sweet, said that he his signature several years came period films - ". Life as a policeman, die like a man" in particular the cult horror and crime Italian films like "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" and
