Tommy Ton's Street Style: Men Who Birng It


via GQ
A salute to the men who brought their A-games to this season's European shows—and who raised the street-style bar for this week's shows in New York

Adam Kelly, men's contemporary and designer buyer, Selfridges
"There's definitely that English, Savile Row quality to the way that Adam dresses, but he manages to do it with such ease that he doesn't look too buttoned-up or uptight. It's the way he casually accents a look with a neck scarf or opts for a Dries T-shirt under a jacket that inspires you to dress up with a more relaxed attitude." 
 






Francesco Cominelli, fashion editor, Vogue Hommes International
"Francesco has a way of wearing clothes in such a way that they become completely unidentifiable on him. You wouldn't know whether he's wearing Kenzo or Zegna or a market find; that's a gift of Francesco's styling abilities. He has fun layering and mixing patterns, textures, and colors, and it's refreshingly young and sartorially playful at the same time."
 






 Toni Tanfani, buyer/owner of Gisa in Ancona, Italy
"Mr. Tanfani is possibly one of the most elegant men I've ever photographed at Fashion Week. Incredibly well-polished, with a sophistication that very few other men have, Mr. Tanfani embodies all the qualities of the ideal Italian man: well-groomed, good-looking, stylish, and confident. There isn't really much of formula to Mr. Tanfani's look: navy double-breasted blazer, classic white dress shirt, and reflective aviators. But it's the man behind the clothes that make the clothes. And Mr. Tanfani only gets better with age."
