Alasdhair Willis just under a year ago was hired by David Beckham to become his 'creative consultant' ( I love the title!) which seemed to be a ploy by the Beckham brand camp to abolish the 'bling' styling tag attached Becks by some. For me Becks lost this tag when he ditched the diamond stud earrings, Jacob and co watches and the cornrow/ rocawear phase!! Now no one is perfect, and everyone has their fashion faux pas no matter how much money or how well connected they are, but for me in terms of formal wear I thought David was working it pretty well in Tom Ford, Paul Smith and Timothy Everest??
I think its more of the case that Simon Fuller's Brand Beckham team and David himself maybe just wanted a little polish up on his formal gentleman look from Mr Willis. Now the media has it that this may be down to what David Beckham does after he hangs his boots up with films, TV and other ventures being mooted, but one things for sure the style icon that is David beckham is working with another in Alasdhair Willis.
Alasdhair's style is simple but soooo effective!! Cream rain mac, Black roll neck, smart denim, three piece suit, crisp sky blue shirt and black lace ups. All these items could be part of any 30-40 year old gents capsule wardrobe and this just shows that with a little bit of know how and attention to detail its not impossible to pull it off! Oh and another reason why Mr Willis is one of my fashion icons is he like myself loves a knitted tie!!
