The One and Only Julian Schnabel on 60 Minutes
I’m guessing that most Selectism readers don’t watch 60 Minutes. The reason I say that — not because I don’t see you as a cultured bunch — it’s just that 60 Minutes is so old. Every time Andy Rooney comes on the screen, a little part of me dies. Last night the venerable news program profiled one of my heros, Mr. Julian Schnabel. Strictly from a style perspective, Schnabel is everything I want to be. He makes wearing pajamas in public cool and not creepy (talking to you Hefner), and values comfort over everything. I put together a little “get that look” so you too can dress like an ultra-successful New York artist or like you are just getting the newspaper, however you want to look at it.
Moscot Yale frames although Schnabel gets his from A.R. Trapp on Madison. (Don’t forget to replace the lenses with yellow tinted versions.)
While Mr. Schnabel has his purple pajamas custom made, this pair from Brooks will do the trick for the Oscars or a gallery opening.
While he prefers a large and loose fitting double breasted overcoat, this Paul Smith number is a sleeker alternative.
How nice do these things look? I would wear these slippers at all times, even in the shower.
