My last posts have been around ๐‘ท๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’†๐’ƒ๐’ & ๐’‡๐’‚๐’”๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ - I hope I am not boring you with this topic - but I thought it was ๐‘ฝ๐‘ฌ๐‘น๐’€ important to dedicate a post especially to the fashion style of our dearest ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ถ๐’๐’”๐’…๐’‚๐’. Because, though he is shy and quiet, he has played a lot with his look and I think he has even been more daring with his wardrobe than his bandmate ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ด๐’๐’๐’Œ๐’, and at the same time, preserving an elegant touch.



As a first example, there is the striped shirt in bright colors that ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ wore in a photoshoot that ๐‘บ๐’„๐’‚๐’“๐’๐’†๐’• ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’† made and the "๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’–๐’”๐’† ๐‘ท๐’“๐’Š๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’†" video:

Like ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ด๐’๐’๐’Œ๐’, ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ also wore dresses occasionally to go on stage. One of his iconic looks, no doubt, is the magnific red dress that he wore during some concerts of the "๐‘พ๐’Š๐’•๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’• ๐’€๐’๐’– ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐‘ต๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ป๐’๐’–๐’“" and that now belongs to a fan from somewhere in the world, since this red dress was among the items of the "๐‘ท๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’†๐’ƒ๐’ ๐‘น๐’‚๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’†๐’” ๐‘จ๐’–๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’" that the band made in 2017 as part of its 20๐’•๐’‰ ๐’‚๐’๐’๐’Š๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’‚๐’“๐’š celebrations.

For several years now, it has been common to see him very elegant wearing suits in classic colors such as black and white.

๐’๐ญ๐ž๐Ÿ๐š๐ง:Yeah its funny, the first time we’ve come to Singapore and they told us we should dress appropriately and although it wasn’t so strict. The funny thing is, Everyone expected Brian to wear the dress and I came in this androgynous priest outfit by Alexander McQueen.

We are in a line of work where we can wear whatever we want and there’s a clothing freedom. In the beginning, we were very excited about the fact that the women’s section in the clothes store just had so much more than the men’s but for me personally, it’s about comfort and each outfit has to be functional. It’s mostly high street stuff really, some designer jackets perhaps and the odd shirts and scarves or something. It’s about mixing and matching. It’s also about finding your own style and with me it tends to be more high street than high fashion.

Up to here we finish with the topic of clothes because hair is important too and ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ has tried out many styles, always looking great. His usual haircut is very short or a mohawk. He also has been blonde. In 2009, he wore a long fringe that fell diagonally across his face. And, in recent years, he has wearing a "๐’๐’๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‡๐’‚๐’…๐’†" haircut, styling the top with a little bun, a ponytail or he simply has left naturally his curly hair.

Contrary to what ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ stated in the "๐‘บ๐’๐’†๐’†๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘พ๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐‘ฎ๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’•๐’” - ๐‘ป๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐‘ซ๐’๐’„๐’–๐’Ž๐’†๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’“๐’š" (2003), that he hated mustaches, only in 1999 he had used a very thin mustache and in 2006 he grew another. Since 2012 he has grown a thick beard that was only shaved off to participate in the ๐‘ด๐’๐’—๐’†๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“ campaign, where he grew a mustache throughout the month of November for the purpose of raising funds and raising awareness of men's health in 2014 and 2015. Currently he still keeping his beard.

And if you thought ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ด๐’๐’๐’Œ๐’ was the only one wearing makeup, well, no! ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ also lines his eyes and has occasionally painted his nails, in gold or black color. I had never wanted before to paint my nails black until I saw ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡ at "๐‘บ๐’๐’–๐’๐’Ž๐’‚๐’•๐’†๐’” ๐‘ต๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’†"(DVD). ๐Ÿ–ค

Finally let's talk about accessories, ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡ has used all kinds. From the most discreet: a ring on his hand, the earrings of his right ear, some bracelets, aviator style glasses; to the most daring: a ring on his nose, oversized glasses, cowboy hat, or that belt of chains with locks and keys so cool that he used in the "๐‘ป๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ท๐’Š๐’„๐’•๐’–๐’“๐’†" video, and which was also included in the "๐‘ท๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’†๐’ƒ๐’ ๐‘น๐’‚๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’†๐’” ๐‘จ๐’–๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’". A very special accessory was "๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘น๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’ƒ๐’๐’˜ ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’๐’—๐’†", which ๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ designed together with ๐‘ฎ๐’Š๐’›๐’†๐’๐’๐’† ๐‘น๐’†๐’๐’†๐’† in 2018. Inspired by ๐‘ฎ๐’Š๐’๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“๐’• ๐‘ฉ๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†๐’“'s rainbow flag and for celebrate the July’s ๐‘ท๐’“๐’Š๐’…๐’† ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’† in London, these gloves represent ๐’‚๐’„๐’„๐’†๐’‘๐’•๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’–๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’š. They were put up for sale on March of that year and the proceeds went to the ๐‘ท๐’†๐’•๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’•๐’„๐’‰๐’†๐’๐’ ๐‘ญ๐’๐’–๐’๐’…๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ and the ๐‘ณ๐‘ฎ๐‘ฉ๐‘ป ๐‘ญ๐’๐’–๐’๐’…๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’.

๐‘บ๐’•๐’†๐’‡๐’‚๐’ has the bearing of a model, he is perfect. I don't know why we have never seen him on a catwalk, maybe they have asked him but he is just not interested.
