In 2010 Francis Cazal from the Paris-based blog Greensleeves To A Ground had this shot taken by Laurent Laport of Where Is The Cool?, reading “The Official Preppy Handbook” in an urban alley, and at night, no less. It remains eerily atmospheric and open to interpretation.
Isn’t it a bit too much ? reading The official Preppy Handbook, wearing preppy clothes… besides the pictures are in black and white, so you can’t really see the clothes.
