TSY STYLE HALL OF FAME | BRYAN FERRY
*
Suave Style Icon-- Bryan Ferry.
*
Affectionately known as ‘The Electric lounge Lizard’, Bryan Ferry has maintained his status as one of the coolest guys going with his magic elixir of suave personal style and smooth crooning– both coming with seemingly little effort. His tastes in all things are refined, and well documented– beautiful women, fine art, fashion, design, etc.
Among them– Ferry’s many relationships with top beauties (most famously Jerry Hall, who left him for Mick Jagger), his longtime partnering with clothier Antony Price (of London’s King’s Road, who together created Ferry’s signature image & look), and his love for beautiful spaces. It’s been said that Ferry is the sort of rock star that would more likely redecorate a hotel room than trash it. That says it all.

This is fantastic – couldn’t agree more. Ferry is cool as all hell, but accessible – all at once.
Like the song that Crosby sings, these foolish things, remind me of Bryan…
I guess it doesn’t play into yr story of BF as the ultimate smooth opperator, but I’ve always been
so intrigued by his photo’s from the full-on Glam Rock phase because they seem like an entirely
different person. AND THAT is range!!

The Glam Rock deal is not my fave… except for a little Ziggy Satrdust.
Best,

Thank you “JP” darling.

There have only been a few of them, those men whom ooze cool … Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Brian Ferry.
What man can never of wanted to be Ferry, a name like Bryan would not normally be cool but somehow he has altered that.
A rock star that stands out amongst them all but very underated but I imagine he is right where he wants to be.
