The fashion consultant guy


The gay black football player fashion consultant guy dresses like a color-blind clown who shouldn't be let loose in a clothing store without supervision. Lots of bad realtor jackets and hideous ties, etc. Maybe very edgy/pseudo-hip, but not the kind of guy I would want to outfit me if my goal was to present an image in court that would reassure normal people.

I enjoyed that character and liked his unique style. I guess we should ALL be wearing "normal" clothes so "normal" people won't be offended by something as utterly harmless as how someone else dresses.

Hugs, MsTicTac.

I like Chunk already and I'm looking forward to seeing him interact more with the TAC team.

Not only has he mastered pattern mixing but his suits fit impeccably. Unfortunately far too many men outside of the fashion world don't go to a tailor for their suits. Even men who have to do red carpets as part of their jobs. It is a huge pet peeve of mine how many actors were ill fitting suits on the red carpet. Getting their suit tailored and their hair cut is really the only prep men have to do to be red carpet ready and many don't even do that.

reply

Part of that is a lack of simple respect. The red carpet used to mean formal dressing where everyone attending wore the best clothes they could get. Somewhere along the way, some celebrities found out the bad outfits get more attention than the good ones. Now, the celebrities who have class and self respect wear their best outfits, but there's a bunch of media whores (Bjork, Jennifer Lopez, and I can't think of any of the guys' names) who wear horrible clothes. There's almost always an actor with "dress floods" that have an inseam that is 6-8" too short and a coat that doesn't match and an actress who is as close to naked as she can manage without being censored or arrested.

It took you 15 days to come up with that?

And the answer is never. I just put a "Danger: Minefield" sign and it seems to work.

I love Chunk! My favourite line from him so far is "That's not comfortable. That's camouflage, mama," in the third episode.

reply

lol I kind of agree. Hes got "trying to hard" written all over him.

reply

Since he isn't the one on trial, he can wear whatever he wants, especially in NYC (where many people dress uniquely). As long as he dresses the defendants correctly for their trials it doesn't matter what he wears.

reply

I agree that as longs he dresses the clients well, he can wear what he wants. I think he provides a nice bit of levity to the show.

reply

He's a black guy and they have slightly different fashion rules. Flamboyant is ok (and I don't know why.) Back in the day, Michael Jordon used to wear the most amazing suits. He looked seriously sharp. Every time I saw him I thought "a white guy could never get away with that suit and 'you dahling, you look mahvelous'".
