Knotted shirt...who was first?

[Black Eyed]

There was a picture in my paper today of David Johansen and it begs the question, did Moz copy the Dolls or did this new (old) version Doll copy Moz???

I hope moz copy the ny dolls, better be so...( coz i hate that knot!)

 

[no one in particular]

some people previously discussed some of this in the "Moz 'new look' at Roskilde" thread

El Manzo said this:

Do you like this little change in his style?
A lot like the 'usual' Morrissey look, but a bit David Johansen and a bit Jagger in 1975.

and also relevant were these remarks (post #22 of that same thread):

Oh yes, very 70s. Knotted shirts on guys and girls were all the rage.

I've never seen the trousers before. The waistband is pretty wild. Moz must have been feeling his cheerios that day.

I give it a thumbs-up.

just saying....of course, it can always still be discussed again here, now

I saw him at Roskilde with a friend who didn't really know him that well, but she ended up liking him! Even with the knotted shirt!
After the show I thought I'd better get myself something to remember it, since my own pictures would probably be crap, so I bought this A4 picture from the concert - knotted shirt and all - which now adorns my wall.
All my other friends think it's gross ;-).

At first I thought it looks silly, but after seeing it live I must say it's quite nice really (only looks strange on the pictures)..

I win, Truman Capote did it in the 40s or 50s

Exactly! I was there too, and I thought he looked great...very relaxed and sexy. That doesn't really come through in the pictures, although I think this one is very nice.

more importantly, who should stop doing it the most?

i like the pot-belly mozzy has, but i would prefer him to be thinner...does that make me totally evil? *bows head*

 

[Dupree]

Looks like this bow thing is all the rage in 'more mature' guys. I wonder when my dad will jump on the band wagon.

 

[vivaissy]

please god no.

 

[El Manzo]

El Manzo was sporting one in 1942.
There is no proof that this picture was taken after that year.

Ah Ah, right. Near The Undertones collection. I guess all the deadheads have very good eyes...

Now, one wouldn't see that on South Road or Saint John's Road would they BlackEyed

I hope Moz drops this look as quickly as possible cause it just ain't right.

nice one Manzo, still I don't think it's one thing to be proud of

If I must.

Just roads with shops on between where I sit right now, in work, in the docks, and the location that BlackEyed has down on her user details.

Anyway, Moz, if you are reading this, please do not repeat this look, it doesn't work.

Sorry Martin, only just read the above, v funny They are not places I frequent personally, but each to their own. We all know the shirts Moz wears are high quality (me personally since I own nearly a whole sleeve!) and they shouldn't be tied up like this, I agree it aint right
