Photo: Redazione TK I did a post a while back about the Italian tv journalist and critic Philippe Daverio, who seemed to be working on becoming a dandy. He's apparently moved on to dressing for pure attention getting. The individual elements have some merit but there's just too much going on in this ensemble.

For all the attention he is obviously paying to his dress, the collar of that jacket could do a much better job of following the back of his neck.

In the final photo, Daverio's might have made the color of his suit work, as British journalist Nick Foulkes does with his own bright choices, but only if it fit him perfectly. It does not.
A case of the proper road not taken, much like my journeys through England this week.

A bridge too far. It’s all in the details, and the details are lacking. But it does draw attention and perhaps that’s all he requires.
Looks like his attire is approaching costume.
Well I am not inordinately fond of these particular examples. But at least he is "dressed." Nick Foulkes, on the other hand, goes to Anderson and Sheppard, and his clothes fit him well, issues of excessive color aside.
On the topic, and not the person, I respect a man who takes the freedom to dress for pleasure. Those who have taken this step are richer for it. Now, this alone has no bearing on the outcome mind you, as elements of style and taste are necessary as well.
The road not taken. A bridge to far. I would add, "A step in the right direction."

nothing to do with italian style,he has to think to a new taylor.josh
All he needs is a round red nose and he can join the circus!
I guess he'll single-handedly prevent us all from making positively stereotyped comments about how Italian men dress.
This person seems to be leaving "dandy" behind in the rear view mirror and rushing headlong towards fop.
Clearly a man to give us "Dandies" (although I would NEVER call myself that) a bad name. As you say, it's all about the fit. Words that come to my mind: colourblind, clutter, shabby.
