Bob Marley: Swanky Rasta
Today marks, what would have been, the 70th birthday of the King of Reggae, BOB MARLEY! Like December 25th is to Christians, so is February 6th to the Jamaican music industry and many persons across the world, a day to celebrate the life and legacy of a GREAT emissary who, in some way or another, impacted every life that came across his message.
As we reflect on the musical icon's wisdom and talent on this day, I would like to invite you to also take a minute to appreciate the Rastaman's equally iconic and (equally ironic) fashionable moments.
 |
| This very well could have been his Vogue or GQ debut. Am I wrong?
THE KING OF DENIM:
 |
 |
| Mastering the "Canadian Tuxedo" with patch work and a smile |
 |
| When you rocking denim on denim and the music sweet and your V-neck is on point so everything jus' nice. |
...A JACKET FOR EVERY MOOD:
 |
| Every rebel with a cause needs a leather jacket |
 |
| Popping style in a bomber jacket and frayed denims was a moment... |
 |
| Cleaning up, the hipster edition. Vol 1. |
 |
| Buffalo soldier planning an uprising, equipped with a utility jacket. |
SINGLE-HANDEDLY MAKING PRINTED VESTS A THING:
 |
| 'cause a jus vibes |
 |
| Stripes, to keep the haters gripe.... |
 |
| & they weren't even ready for this ethnic number... |
...A GRAND ENCORE FOR THE LEGEND:
 |
| Satisfying souls one colour block outfit at a time.... |
 |
| WIDE LEGS OVERALLS!! (With a rainbow patch), we'll call this one 'TUFF' GONG |
 |
| When the dread break out the platforms, even the carpeting is injected with trendy vibrations |
 |
| Running like a fugitive in Iron sandals like a Lion in Zion |
 |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE COOLEST, SMOOTHEST, RUDE B(W)OY on the block! |
until next time.....
Do Good, Dress Well
