There has never been a day when I couldn't stop but think about the gigantic egos of individuals associated with modernism. I really do buy into it and wished I was one of them. Decades after the collapse of modernism, I always seem to romanticise about it. This rather seems like a manifestation of how clearly snotty I am. For now, I seem to fascinate myself with this portrait of Mies van der Rohe. It does evoke some of the things I have an affinity for: black and white photographs, black and white ensembles, impeccable tailoring, smoking, and the definitive look of smugness. Lastly, I realised that I should try working with pocket squares or at least make an attempt because I just feel like it. That would really depend on me

overture
The title of the blog may sound like a poor reference to a novel by J.M. Coetzee. Well, it doesn't shy away from that... vraiment! Giancinéphile, or better known as my online alter-ego passes itself as my own stimulated reality on the web filling the air with my cinéphilie, a so-called flare for men's fashion (alongside my love for such a thing called aesthetics), tones brought about by things I've been reading here and there, moods often stimulated by things I listen to and just like every pretentious jeune homme on the block, I shall say I'm quite fond of contemporary art. And whatever is there left to say, I try to take photos as much as I can... trying to get them around.
