(I think Hedi Slimane purloined that look for a Dior Homme campaign a few years back, and rightly so: Yeats looks like he was born to wear Dior Homme.)<br />Looking forward to future posts.<br />Best,<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994301334173470273.post-52502332334293945702009-11-13T17:00:21.718-05:002009-11-13T17:00:21.718-05:00I was afraid someone would ask!
