Mara from M LOVES M
July 19th, 2014
I was very excited to see Mara, author of the beautiful blog, M Loves M, wearing the Wave Street Stripe, Shirt No.1 on her blog this week. I’m a big fan of M Loves M. I love Mara’s classic, California style. Always so effortless. I was lucky enough to grab a few minutes with Mara and ask her a few questions…so we can get to know her a little better.

Steve McQueen
October 12th, 2013
Steve McQueen was true Hollywood cool. An icon of 1960’s cinema with lead roles in movies such as Bullitt, The Getaway and The Thomas Crown Affair. He was and still is “The king of cool”. With his natural sense of style he transformed classic pieces of clothing into must have wardrobe essentials. Blue jeans, button down oxfords, chambray shirts and classic chinos, Steve McQueen’s timeless style is a quintessential source of inspiration to the California Tailor line. By taking menswear staples and giving them a live fast, die young attitude he secured his place as a true icon of style.
Steve McQueen. A Hollywood pretty boy.
Audrey Hepburn
September 28th, 2013
It was Breakfast at Tiffany’s and that famous little black dress that made Audrey Hepburn a star of Hollywood’s golden age. However at California Tailor, I love this more effortless shot of Audrey wearing a classic white shirt. The photo was taken by Hollywood photographer Mark Shaw as part of a portrait series for Life magazine during the 1950’s.
Natural and effortless, this is my favorite Audrey snap.
Stripes
August 10th, 2013
Whether it’s the original navy and white Breton or the classic Bengal stripe oxford. I can’t think of anything I love more than the humble stripe. Stripes are an essential staple in every wardrobe, so I thought I’d take some time to celebrate the joys of the parallel line. Horizontal and vertical, on land and sea, a classic for all seasons. Of course, California Tailor will not be left out. Stripes will be coming soon to our fall collection. See more stripe inspiration on California Tailor’s pinterest.
London inspired with a California twist.
Charlotte Rampling
August 2nd, 2013
Sixties It-girl and style icon Charlotte Rampling began her career as a model being photographed by everyone from David Bailey to Helmut Newton. The British born actress moved into film and became famous in both English and French cinema. Often referred to as one of the finest actresses of the last four decades, she is a timeless icon and a true inspiration for the California Tailor journey. Known as the Chelsea girl in the sixties, her boyish energy and British sensibility have taken her from humble London roots all the way to Hollywood.
Classic, elegant and effortlessly cool.
Françoise Hardy
July 5th, 2013
The unforgettable cool girl of the mid sixties, Françoise Hardy was a natural beauty. The fashionable iconic Parisian singer-songwriter went to the fashionable clubs in London, bumping into the likes of The Beatles and the Rolling stones. Her beauty and laid back style was a true inspiration in her classic, tailored basics. Rei Kawakubo is said to have been so inspired by Hardy’s song “Tous les garçons et les filles,” that it influenced the name of her line, Comme des Garçons. A real femme fatal of her time, she was effortlessly chic, a true tomboy!
I just love her classic girl next door style.
Happy Birthday to the Gucci Loafer
June 1st, 2013
The Gucci loafer has turned 60! To celebrate, the Italian label has released the 1953 collection. The famous shoe which has been a Hollywood favorite for years is now slimmer and brighter in an array of colours but still thankfully features the iconic horse bit. I’m loving the Gucci “Forever Now” icons of heritage advertising campaign. Perfectly classic!
Still made in Italy, my favorite is the canvas print flora edition. The loafer adds a tomboy touch to your wardrobe and goes with anything, from jeans and a shirt to your favorite black dress.
60 years a classic. I love them!
