The Paul McCartney "FASHION POLICE!" Thread
-
One thing India in the 1960s was not an easy place to move around The place the Beatles stayed was a beautiful area. Don't know exactly where it is, love to visit it one day

Sorry, folks. Gotta' get in "queen-mode" here for a sec'. I've held out long enough: I'm not certain, but were they fusing psychedelic fashion with Indian clothing in that photo from '67? Regardless, those ensembles -- although a respectable effort, er, let's say attempt -- are a trainwreck. To me, Paul's pants look more like kids' "jammies." And John's coat looks like a fashion-prototype for one of Elvis' jumpsuits, circa '74. The man-bag (don't know its cultural name -- banjara?) is cool! Paul's vest is great! A color photo could change my mind. (just having a little fun, folks )
Well Paul was ahead of the times again with the jammies... the kids are wearing them everywhere around here! That was a time when anything went and everything went together! Is there a colour photo? Would love to see it also, I love Paul's vest. Methinks it would look really cool today! I've heard that part of India is still very beautiful!

True.

Similar, but the others didn't have ruffles! That reminds me of the other Seinfeld episode about the white shirt with ruffles! http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Seinfeld+episode+shirt+with+ruffles&qpvt=Seinfeld+episode+shirt+with+ruffles&FORM=IGRE

The puffy shirt. Classic.

. Of course, you don't know if that's really true--but it's true they were nowhere near being a "couple"...didn't mess around in that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I knew you were thinking of your lurid "fan fiction" groups when you wrote that, LOL .
"You heard about the Walrus and Me/ You know that we're as close as can be/ Here's another clue for you all/ the walrus was Paul."

Here are a couple of pics from the iHeartRadio set that show Rusty and Brian's nice suits: https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1380319_172456066278892_1441782442_n.jpg https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1186304_172456062945559_815619351_n.jpg

oobu24:
also from fashion week...James. ops: Not digging the boots.
If he would just lose about 30-40 lbs. he would be so hot!
i really love James music but yeah he used to be thin before he launched his career and even when he first released stuff he looked like this but the last 18 months he's ballooned... and i'm all for people looking like they want to (heck i'm not exactly thin myself), but my bf keeps saying he looks like a heart attack waiting to happen
-
I must admit: The short jacket looks a lot better in black: (yesterday's Times Square gig)
-
Getting back to James, I've known a few veggies who are heavier, as well. Also, a lot of people are shocked when they learn that B.B. King -- the blues legend -- is a vegetarian.
-
I didn't fancy that black suit all that much on Brian--made me think of a Chicago gangster from the 40's, for some reason. I thought James's blue satin boots "popped" adding a burst of unexpected, refreshing color to his ensemble. Paul's outfit looked real cool at his brief Times Square gig.

Paul @ BBC Maida Vale Studios this week: Paul should've worn one of his snazzy sound-check outfits for this gig. plus, I don't think double-breasted blazers work for him.

Is he going for some kind of "onstage at 4 am in Hamburg" look (minus the leather)?
-
And what's even odder is that the rest of the band all wore jeans, etc. Paul was not only overdressed -- but overdressed...badly.
-
Maybe he didn't get the memo.

I don't think this has been mentioned in this thread but this interview with Paul http://www.sixxsense.com/media/play/23867281/ talks about Stella at around the 13-minute mark. She does dress Paul to an extent, but he seems resolute that ultimately he makes his own decisions!
