Mr. Beppe Modenese - Italian style icon

Each time I see a photo of Mr. Beppe Modenese, I am astounded by the way he assembles his clothing, the suit, tie, shirt, pocket square and the colour combinations. The more photos I saw of Mr. Modenese, I wondered what his occupation is / was ?  From the outfits and assembling of the clothing, he could not just be another well dressed senior citizen. And guess what......? I found out that Mr. Modenese is the founder of the Milan fashion week. So in short he has learned the bread and butter craft of style, elegant dressing from the core.
I simply adore the way Mr. Modenese gets the whole attire functioning with such ease, coolness as if no special attention is paid to the little details that makes the whole look complete and satisfactory to the viewer.

I found the below article from RoGallery about Mr. Modenese

Below are pictures of Mr. Modenese dressed as always very elegantly, classic style, impeccable and very timeless. I simply adore the use of the safety pin to hold the tie. A sartorial dna for Mr. Modenese. Very cool.
