De-Gay Make-Under?
Not to long ago while at my boutique, a guy came in looking around with a female friend of his. He was very fashion forward and well she was a bit of a fashion faux pas. I couldn't tell weather he was a metro sexual or just a gay guy. I only mentioned this because he asked me if his look spelled gay. Of course I replied with a, “you tell me?" Anyway we all hit it off and he started talking about this big interview that he had coming up and how it was at a very conservative firm in NY. He was afraid that his look wasn't shall I say, the right fit for the firm. I knew right off that he wasn't the right fit for that firm.
Years ago I styled a partner of that firm’s son for his residency interview. I dealt with the father mostly, not only because he was paying, but because everything had to be approved by him.....a real control freak. He liked the job I did, and that was the beginning of my NY male clients.
Getting back to Mr. Metro, I advised him that wardrobe consulting was my art and that if his resume was as good as his look would be, he'd land the gig. He's a loud, flashy, in a good way for him type of dresser. He has a look that works for him and about 100 other people on the planet. You know the look that you think is hot, but you'd never try and pull it off, and you'd remember it to the exact.So in 2 weeks I'll work my first metro/gay make-under for a very well to do client.......when he's hired!
This made me wonder how many of us are so over the top with our fashion? How many of us need a fashion make-under to get ahead in our careers?
