Hmmm... all black? That is sooo 1990's architect. So what is the all black of today?

Is red back? Red and black? That's a good combo. What I wish to never come back is blue and black.

The blue looks great on the columns, in the water and in the sky, but not so good on the Banana Replublic Amish outfit.

Open houses and reviews look like funerals.

as long as the shirt or jacket are expensive the rest don matter. jeans, corduroy bell-bottoms, thong, whatever.

one of the profs in my schools wear's black religiously. he is heading to real fame, edits the top japanese magazine, is a prof at the most famous school in the country, and has real ability as a designer, but man that all black thing really makes hiim look like a pretentious idiot. hard to take any architect seriously if they can't step beyond monochrome.

toyo ito dresses like will alsop designs his outfits and see were that has got him...see, proof...

But I'll take this opportunity to state again that I feel it is important for the architect to be the most stylish person at the meeting. Unless perhaps you're designing a new store for Prada.

If you wear all black try some really far out shoe colors. Like orange and green.

Jump - totally.. all that matters is the top. hopefully this trend continues I love wearing jeans to work.
