不知從何時開始對西裝友(當然是身穿剪裁出色西裝的男士),非常有好感,之前我在這裡也寫過。在街上,尤其是中環,金鐘,灣仔一帶,若見到成熟有型身穿剪裁出色西裝男士,我雙眼便情不自禁地跟pan,若再加上袋巾(pocket square),嘩簡直不得了!! <華爾街金融大鱷>一上畫便看了,除了因為很喜愛上集外,亦因為戲內的華爾街西裝友,尤其是用了袋巾(pocket square)的西裝友.論內容我覺得電影還可以,因為是重現2008年信貸爆破,金融海嘯的始末,我愛舊聞歷史,所以看得津津有味。而當然米高德格拉斯,沙拉保夫在戲內的styling也非常養眼。尤其米高德格拉斯,在戲內無論是casual 或formal,他都用袋巾,charming到呢….我承認我愛看靚仔,尤其是成熟穩重型的靚仔。 有關袋巾(pocket square)的歷史,有說是公元前希臘的男貴族會隨身攜帶染有香水手巾,英國及法國貴族也會這樣做,貴族嘛,逛街時遇有帶有異味的庶民,便用那條香水手巾來掩鼻。至上世紀初,發展成袋巾,更成為男士時尚配飾。 我最近在“煲”電視劇Mad Men,故事內容是關於六十年代在紐約廣告人的故事,是關於當時價值觀,辦公室政治及社會的轉變。對白寫得很好,是嗒落有味那種,像劇內男主角愛喝的威士忌一樣,不易接受但很濃烈很有味道。 "Advertising is based on one thing: happiness. And do you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of a road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing is OK. You are OK." "The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons. You're born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't one." 想想由劇內有型及男人味十足的廣告創作總監Donald Draper說出以上對白,令人暈得一陣陣。Donald Draper常穿西裝及用袋巾,最常用的是白色袋巾,更用最平實的square end摺疊方式。廣告公司合夥人Roger Sterling最常用 three corners fold 或four corners fold的袋巾摺疊法,較有氣派。不知是因為內容,還是劇內男人味十足的袋巾styling,總之我覺得這套艾美獎得獎電視劇是實至名歸。 在香港好像不太流行用袋巾,我只知立法會議員梁家傑是“袋巾友”。我想外國男士對袋巾較重視,你看薩旦武在受審時都用袋巾,便多多少少明白那是多重要。袋巾更令我想起George Clooney , Alec Baldwin(雖然現在他有點胖) Sean Connery,想起fashionable,powerful ,男人味...
