The Style of Reynolds Woodcock in “Phantom Thread”
Reynolds Woodcock was one of the the premiere dressmakers in 1950’s London. It’s only fitting that his own wardrobe is on par with the dresses he creates.

“Manners Maketh Man”: Two Outfits from Kingsman, The Secret Service
A few weeks ago, I was able to watch Kingsman, a British spy/comedy movie. In the movie, Colin Firth’s character “Galahad” (his Kingsman codename), repeatedly said “manners maketh man” before he kicked some bad guy butt.

In fact, the suits in the universe of the film were even bulletproof! Here, I show off two outfits inspired by two characters from the film: Galahad and Merlin.
