"He was always at the centre of high fashion and yet existed outside of it. Keith Richards, John Lennon, Jim Morrison — they all copied Dylan."
"And when that happened, he moved on pretty sharpish... [to the look of a] respectable country gentleman with roots in Nashville, a little carnivalesque, a little Clark Gable."

A friend of mine in upstate New York — one of Dylan’s attorneys in fact! — turned me in to the rare pleasures of getting the Sunday Financial Times. An elegant, glorious newspaper.
How many old people did you knock over to get that close?
The Financial Times every once in a while hints at what is really happening in Ukraine, but I am sure that it goes right over your head. But mostly I am sure it is telling you what you want to hear in carefully couched language so nobody can accuse it of lying,” about it, when it’s only implying about it.
Re Dylan, his Rolling Thunder Review hat is still my favorite. That could almost be it, stripped of the flowers.
I never knew that he fabricates ornamental gates, all the cutting, grinding and welding. Something we have in common! My hero.
I assumed Dylan bought his costumes in thrift stores.

Dylan has always been conscious of his clothes and they seem to match the music he's making. The early Woody Guthrie hobo look, the mod look on Highway 61 Revisited, the gentleman squire look for Nashville Skyline and the colorful, jaunty look that borrowed from John Philips on the cover of Desire.
The only fashion missteps were during the 80's when he seemed lost (although in retrospect most people didn't look good in the 80's).
I like the way he has dressed in his older years. But for me the hair dye job he has is awful.
He was our generational leader in everything. From Joan Baez to becoming a Completed Jew he did it all.
Yeah, his clothes are pretty good. But what's really cool is that Bob has a mini-me who tours with him.

taken at Oberlin?
it's a great photo
Enlighten-NewJersey beat me to it...
True that. He could have been a slob but chose differently…
Nice photo!
Come on; the jacket and hat are clown clothes. To an outsider, it seems like he gets away with the same approach to fashion as he does with song-writing -- throw a bunch of crazy stuff together, and his fans will call it art.
I am a big fan of Dylan's music. His "style" is wierd, though.
I always figured that's because he's a great artist. Like Roy Orbison.
He is always dressed-to-the-Nines... which coincidentally is roughly the number of times I've seen him perform.
Lose the hat, Bobby.
Dylan missed out on a sure bet when he survived that motorcycle accident back in the sixties. If he had died then, he would be bigger than Morrison or Elvis. What kind of tragic poet lives past eighty and has a catalog worth hundreds of millions. As style icons go, he's no Byron.
You can put the tags line on a business card:
Dylan fashion photography
He looks like a community theater actor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
That man is calling out for something different…
How many shells can an old man count
Before he sleeps on the sand?
How many pairs of short pants are worn
Before they’re forever banned?
Congratulations. If I had been the FT editor, I would have chosen the photo right underneath this one - there’s so much energy captured. Maybe Dylan doesn’t look sufficiently old in that one. Rhhardin - nice shot of Stravinsky.

The FT is a daily paper and does not have a Sunday edition. Rather on Saturday it publishes its weekend edition.
Maybe as a Dylan blogger, Lucas has a slightly overblown interpretation of Dylan's fashion impact.
