The Style Guide
The Style
Guide is constructed as a series of street-style shots featuring some of the
most stylish people in the menswear industry. But unlike most style books, it
focuses on practical analysis of every image, picking up why the outfit works
in terms of texture, colour or cut. The effect is an attractive summary of the
most important style advice discussed on Permanent Style over the past decade.
Simon
Crompton, Founder of Permanent Style, and photographer Jamie Ferguson, have
come together to create, 'The Style Guide'. As the founder of Permanent Style,
Simon Crompton is one of the most respected menswear voices today, providing
his opinion on quality makers, merchants, and his personal style. Along with
Simon's commentary, Jamie Ferguson has provided some of his most beautiful
photography capturing inspirational looks to help men learn and be inspired by
some of today's leading menswear aficionados.
'The Style
Guide' differs than the many other style-oriented guidebooks out there. As
described by the author in the beginning of the book, "...I've always
disliked straightforward street-style books, principally because they have
little focus on actual style. Often the subject looks good because of the
lighting, the background or the composition, rather than the clothes they are
wearing. And there is little discussion of why the clothes work well (if they
do)."
The book
was supported by Anderson & Sheppard, Begg & Co, Edward Green and
Vitale Barberis Canonico.
