Costi,

Great looking suit and style.

Your pictures have inspired many of our new bespoke clients and confirmed the prerogative of style to some of the ancients.

Chapeau!

Gruto, Sir, I am a simple man. I do not know what the statement below means.


It is always interesting to ask, who or what created the creator :D

No need to! "May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law". Do you like your world? :wink:
I wouldn't be happy to carry that burden :D

I can't view Costi's photos; is there something going on with imageshack or is it my antivirus software?

UC, I have had the same problem for a week.

The images I post to Picasa (Google's image database) do not seem to have the same problem.

Who, me?! You can surely aim higher :wink: And I AM impressed by your perseverance :D

What came before creation? "In the beginning was the Word" - I think this still applies to any genuine creation. They say "a picture is worth a thousand words", but anyone who ever tried to play mime knows a thousand pictures can never truly represent certain words. Starting with the image instead of the word is not creation, it is mimicry. After Faust and Gretchen, in part III of his "Faust" Symphony Liszt faces the challenge of depicting Mephisto, but creation is the attribute of God, so he cannot introduce new musical themes. In a stroke of genius, he puts the devil to notes by playing distorted and grotesque variations of the thirst for knowledge and love themes from the preceding two parts. That is pure mimicry - something different from the original, yet no new creation. In our quest for Style, we shouldn't let Mephisto tempt us into staying at the surface with images, we should go deeper, to the idea, to the Word, and give it our own original expression.

Beats me what the issue is... I see them perfectly well, both on my PC and on my mobile phone.
Here they are, uploaded through a different image hosting service:

Not sure how long they will stay up - the promise on the freeimagehosting.net FAQ page is rather grand: "Barring any unforeseen event, uploaded images that do not violate our terms of service will be kept forever." :shock:

That's a nice coat Costi. The trousers hang beautifully too, really good line. Mr Negrila's work?

Thank you, Simon! Yes, Negrila - he's working on the Windsor tweed these days, I look forward to the first fitting this week.
The ventless coat looks fine and wears well, I can't complain about it, but I still feel more comfortable with double vents...
