Winging It

By Izzy

Alain Delon in wing collar

Izzy had never seen anyone wear an unbuttoned wing-collar shirt before, but at Cannes French film star Alain Delon nearly pulls it off—but certainly not the unkempt haircut or blinged-up lapel pin.

    I’ve never seen anyone actually pull it off in reality, either. I’ve seen guys attempt it going “black tie optional” - but this is a new one. It’s a neat idea, though - give him points for originality, at least!

    Actually, it’s something you can see in the last advertising campaign for Gianfranco Ferré (pics available on their website).

    I’ve seen it in old 30s and 40s movies, usually immediately after the formal event, when the hero is trying to look debonair, yet unpretentious
