Inspiration: Father Style

"To be an actor you have to be a child."

- Paul Newman

The thought of being a father is a bit unnerving. I don't know if it's a generational thing or not but none of my friends have kids yet. Twenties and thirties... Nothing. I don't know if we're all too self-serving to make that sacrifice or we're all just kids ourselves. Regardless, Max Wastler of All Plaidout created a beautiful tribute to fatherhood this past week, which I was happy to be a part of. 

Inspiration and influence starts with parents, whether it's an act of rebeliousness or embrace, it's undeniable. Dressing myself is hard enough, imagine the responsibility of dressing someone else. A mini you... The task is daunting. Someone who always seemed to get it right was Paul Newman. What's fantastic about this photograph from 1965 is I can easily see him wearing what his son has on and vice versa. Now that's classic style...
