When In Rome
18/08/ 2012, 8:43 pm Traveling
Tel Avivian photographer Miri Davidovitz, a long time collaborator with The Garçonnière, has just returned from her summer vacation in Italy and Switzerland. Following her instagram account (@MiriDavidovitz) during her trip to Rome one could clearly be impressed by the number of pictures showing local elegant men.
Davidovits was happy to share some of her beautiful portraits of those Roman moments, which are always a good inspiration for the Tel Avivian men, who sometimes blame the weather for the lack of local chic.
The Italian dandy is witnessing a new global renaissance in recent years with numerous writers, fashion editors, photographers and bloggers who are trying to rediscover the famous Sprezzatura, the virtue of a nonchalant style, or as the Oxford English Dictionary defined it: “a studied carelessness”.
All pictures pictures here were taken by Miri Davidovitz as she was using her instagram application. Meaning, also great photographers enjoying more popular ways to take pictures, searching for beauty and hunting for style.

- About: The Garçonnière
is a blog about men's fashion and style, inspired by a beautiful
deconstruction of well-crafted traditions, old books, new magazines and
unknown streets abroad.
The blog was launched in 2008 by Eyal de Leeuw and Sahar Shalev, both lived abroad for a while but went back to their home city of Tel Aviv to write the first Hebrew men's fashion blog. Sahar is working as a journalist in Haaret'z and as a fashion consultant; Eyal is working in Design Museum Holon.
They look at men's fashion with critical eyes, sense of history and see clothes as a cultural intersection of political, popular and artistic ideas. At the end of the day - or is it at the beginning? - they love to dress up, and The Garçonnière is a good excuse to talk about it.
