In this photo, taken after Franz Kafka awakened from unsettling dreams to find himself transformed into a fashionable badass, Kafka pioneers the skinny necktie. It combines with the pompadour haircut to metamorphose his appearance into one that gives a sense of effort and care for one’s appearance without an excess of trial. With the suit, it’s a versatile fashion choice fit for events ranging from a country wedding or a soiree at the local castle, though the fit on Kafka’s left side seems a bit off.
As is the case with much bespoke fashion, Kafka must have waited forever for those pieces to be made.
