La vie classique

La Vie Classique is a tumblr that combines classical menswear and classo-modern aspects of art, photography, abstract and classical architecture and the use of minimal design. My main focus lies on fashion, in particular I focus on the revival of classical fashion, usually with a modern touch. My name is Timothy, I study Political Science at the University of Amsterdam, and this is purely my hobby. I hope I've layed the right paradigms for you to enjoy my view.

That Japanese-Italian Style

The term “timeless style” can feel like such a cliché nowadays, but it’s genuinely amazing how little — and how awesome — Yukio Akamine’s style has changed since I first saw him on The Sartorialist nearly ten years ago. Granted, ten years is hardly timeless, but with how quickly fashion moves on the internet, that almost feels like a lifetime ago.

Akamine has described his style as being traditionally British, but I actually think of it as a Japanese-Italian interpretation of British clothes. The fabrics are heavy, but the tailoring — save for a few sharply cut double breasted jackets — mostly looks soft and rounded. The shoulders are unconstructed and sloping, the lapels slightly extended, and the quarters gently curved. His shirt collars also look soft and unfused, and the points are long in a way that you almost only see in Southern Italy nowadays. For casualwear, he seems to favor the kind of slim fitting suede A-1 blousons that Valstar made famous in the 1960s, and like many Italians, pairs them with tailored trousers.
