The Creative Profesional

So the NY Times fashion section today writes about the plight of one of my favorite species. The poor suffering white man. The Metro Sexual is finally dead. The look of success is now one of a "Creative Professional". More checks and gingham and less solid and stable. I remember a few years back during the dotcom era when suits just were on vacation. Bannana Republic was the new corporate casual and the client based look was gone. This was due to the decreasing interface between vendor and client, but this one is a little different. No one wants to look like a criminal. I love it. So I'm thinking about men and style and what precode films they could watch that might sympathize with this new sterotype they have to endure. American Madness may be just what the fashion police ordered. It's about a bank robbery that happens under the nose of a bank teller who was an ex-convict who was recently hired. The man in charge is actually the one behind the caper. This film has been criticized for being dated...um...I think you will find it slightly topical.
