Talk turned quickly to Le Bon’s unusual approach to lyrics, COVID-19, David Bowie, plastic trousers and Eurovision. 27, and John Taylor, 61, called from a hotel room (a luxury suite, most likely) in Austin, where the band was co-headlining the Austin City Limits festival. Guitarist Andy left for a second time in 2006, and the absence of his power chords has left room for a renewed focus on electronic sounds. The lineup that recorded “ Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Girls on Film,” “ Save a Prayer,” “ Union of the Snake,” “The Reflex” and “ A View to a Kill,” each a huge hit, reassembled in the early 2000s. We just had to include the retro hot pink telephone by Johnny Egg from ThisNext (shown below, bottom right), because what ’80s businessman didn’t match his phone to his necktie? Pinstripes convey sophistication and a sense of playfulness, as shown in a 1980s Clan Hall black pinstripe blazer (pictured below, bottom left).In recent years, Duran has amply integrated guest musicians and producers into albums, and the credits on “Future Past” include Giorgio Moroder, Graham Coxon of Blur, Mark Ronson, Tove Lo, British rapper Ivorian Doll and Japanese pop group Chai. The necktie’s rosy hue pops against the backdrop of classic jackets, like the gray 1980s Christian Dior jacket from Etsy shop Old Stuff for Dudes (shown below, middle right). This shop’s offerings transcend the fashion realm, veering into electronics, games and other vintage finds of interest to the male gender!
We’ll start with the vintage Oscar de la Renta pink tie (shown below, top right) from Etsy shop Preaimé Vintage, which offers an eclectic selection of stylishly-presented fashion, decor and kitchenware items.
