Men of Style: Jean-Pierre Leaud


Photobucket
Jean-Pierre
His face may not be particularly familiar among most households in the States, but Jean-Pierre Leaud is one of the greatest icon's in French New Wave cinema.

From his 20-year portrayal of Truffaut's Antoine Doinel to his intellectual, Marxist characters and brilliant cameos in Godard's films, Jean Pierre has always pushed the boundaries of social norm and expectation.

Without leading men like Leaud, Scott Sternberg wouldn't have French male muses for his collections and Jason Schwartzman would most likely be wearing and acting in very different films. His style, his rich multi-faceted performances and his understated French cool make him a favorite man of style.



Our take on his look:

Men of Style: Serge


Gainsbourg

If there is anything we love more, it's a dirty Frenchman. From playing piano in the Milord L'Arsouille night club to his rich success as the most famous and controversial singer/songwriter in French pop music, Gainsbourg is the epitome of male sensuality, coolness and creativity, which won him some of the most famous affairs with the sexist women in France (a marriage with barely-legal Jane Birkin and the Bonnie to his Clyde, Brigitte Bardot).

Photobucket
Certainly being in his influence and gene pool allows for future stylish and talented musicians/actors, like this little powerhouse.


This is our casual, modern take on Gainsbourg's look:
