Fashion Victim: The Ability To Accessorize

(Photograph by John Schwartz. Click for bigger.)

It's what separates us from the animals, right? Here we have a quilted cotton sport coat by Dries van Noten paired with a white cotton shirt by John Varvatos, accessorized with an industrial catsup bladder to add an aura of grandeur.

I have a feeling they're going to stop leaving these things lying around where I can get at them. Either that, or I'll get an email from some division head with the subject line PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH THE INDUSTRIAL CONDIMENT BLADDERS.

How easily this photo shoot could have gone spectacularly wrong!

It's an evening clutch for an especially unabashed vampire. And the jacket appears to be a rousing success...

Ketchup Vampires is the name of my new band.

Pony, did you accidentally forget to button one or two of your jacket's sleeves?

Or is that how a gentleman prepares for fisticuffs?

Oh, Anonymous, FOR SHAME. The cuff buttons are unbuttoned because THEY CAN BE UNBUTTONED because they are *real* buttonholes.

I see the little relief valve/disk - but how do these things work? Squirt and trust aim through little hole?

Every time I look at the picture I wince at the thought of the ketchup bladder leaking on your natty attire.
