Of all the sessions we've done so far, this was the most musical
Fashionista shoot to date–literally. Our model, photographer Mao Dou
and I all danced around the studio as playful shots were snapped.
“I satisfy all of my needs and desires at my shows,”
says jazz musician Carlton J. Smith, and I suppose that includes his
wardrobe desires as well. Originally from New York City, this energetic
singer's leather / fur vest and pants were made for him by designer Steve at Beau Gosse
on 8th Street, as were the pony hair coat and fox hair collar. His
boots were also picked up from his hometown, yet other favorite outfits
("like my Al Green / Marvin Gaye suits") are custom-made right here in
Shanghai at–where else?–the Lujiabang Lu Fabric Market booth No. 388. He also often visits the Yanghe Handmade Shoe Store
where shoemaker Zhao whips up special designs to ensure that Carlton is
showtime-ready from top-to-toe. “There's nothing that looks better than
a well-dressed man,”
Carlton says. “Shoes shined, smelling good and
wearing his suit–but the suit's not wearing him.” Despite being clad in
all black, you know that Carlton's thought about every piece he's
wearing. His style is not simply about being monochromatic, but about
texture, depth and detail. And it's absolutely essential to make a
statement with what you wear. “Style means you dance to your own
internal drum,” he concludes. “You don't wear anything that anybody
else could even possibly be seen in, but you wear clothes that stand
out so [that] people don't say, 'Where is he?' But instead, they say,
'There he is.'"
