Looking for a "PEOPLE-ORIENTED" CAREER

BLACK, GRAY & BLUE monochromatic - subtle - yet - fashion forward.  Interesting selections for these rejuvenating times.  Mix the various tones together and create an interesting (strong) "look".  Navy Cashmere Sweater and Khaki slacks suit & tie - for example.  NEW the leather jacket - over a shirt - with simple pocket detailing - open collar GRAY shirt.  Zippered sweaters in solid colors create a "together" look instead of a suit - and, of course, dark jeans compliment that "high tech" feeling of business casual.  Blue in every shade accents black & gray and some of the newer fabrics have a shine that adds yet another kind of texture to men's clothing.

Men's wear inspiration:  "Traditional suiting with a twist -- single-breasted silhouettes -- draw upon the heritage of Armani Collezioni Grey Plaid Wool Sportcoat, White Shirt, Cashmere Gray Sweater.

Use the same color combinations to create a much more "Friday Casual" look - using lighter color tones and the classic "v" neck sweater.

"We have tried to capture the concept of improvisation in jazz, with inspiration taken fron the early jazz world-the tuxedo-clad musicians picking up their instruments after a long day at work, accompanying a glamourous singer." -Diesel Black Gold.

"D&G" Gray Velvet Blazer and Armani Collezioni Black Velvet Sportcoat are the inspiration for a collection with an Italian sartorial soul, for a man as comfortable in Rome as in New York." - Domenico Vacca

Harvard during the uncertain year of 2012.  The emergence of a new freedom of dressing that (led to) upgrading of clothing and emphasizing accessories." - Stefan Miljanic.
