Casual is the new formal


Now, creatives can always get away with a slightly more casual mode of dress. But only if you can deliver the goods. This attitude has been taken to a new level in Hollywood, where apparently everyone from studio execs to camera operators are wearing flip-flops. Now, I have a pair of $3 Old Navy flip-flops (in black, of course), and they're great in the summer. But I wouldn't think of wearing them to a client meeting. Unless it was also a beach party.

I am emboldened by the fact that the president of the William Morris Agency wore my exact wardrobe from today to a movie premiere:

At the "Superman" premiere, David Wirtschafter, the president of the William Morris Agency, was wearing sneakers with Velcro fastenings, jeans and a long-sleeved black T-shirt.

Coming straight from the office? "Yes," he said. "This is dressed up, for me."



Now, my jeans are straight from the Gap. No crime there, although a set of Diesels might be more appropos. However, the long-sleeve t-shirt is a lovely synthetic number from Kavu, the kayaker-friendly clothing company, and the shoes are Tsubos (also with velcro closures, natch). It's a good look for me, and I'm glad people like talent agency execs are coming 'round to my way of thinking on dressing up for work.
