FashHole Hall of Fame: Brad Goreski

"What people basically want is to wear things that get them laid." - Brad Goreski

Style inspiration can come from anywhere - from the people we walk past on the streets, to the designers that show their latest collections on catwalks all over the world, to celebrities who adorn the magazines and TV screens that we encounter in our daily lives. Everyone has their style icons, and you lucky fashholes are in for a treat...get ready to be taken on a journey of the icons this blogger looks towards whenever he is faced with an outfit crisis.


Today we're gonna start with Brad Goreski. For those of you unfamiliar with this character, he was Rachel Zoe's assistant for the first few seasons of The Rachel Zoe Project, who's penchant for colour blocking and taking geek chic to a whole new level has gained him celebrity status and the title of fashion icon for many a homo around the world. Now starring in his own reality series, It's A Brad Brad World, and going out on his own away from the shadow of Ms Zoe, Brad continues to gain notoriety for his corageous fashion efforts.


On paper, this jacket just shouldn't work. So why is my wardrobe crying out for it?


It should also be noted that homeboy KNOWS how to colour block. Or, as he calls it, a "P.O.C." (pop of colour). It takes some serious swagger to pull off some of these neon, clashing looks, but he does it in style and still manages to look really effortless with it.



Nobody can say Mr Goreski isn't capable of seriously pulling off the geek-chic look. He definitely, to quote his former mentor Rachel Zoe, "shuts it DOWN" on a daily basis. His recent outfits at New York Fashion Week have been true to his high fashion credentials, not that we would expect anything less. He still manages to put his own spin on any look...who else could wear leopard and still look that dapper?



And this is just a little something for those of you wondering what he looks like out of the amazing clothes...

While Brad Goreski's style might not be to everyone's tastes, he's definitely carved out his own niche look that is synonymous with BRAD. Please pray that he somehow follows in Rachel Zoe's fashion footsteps and gets his own line, the menswear market is SCREAMING out for someone like Brad to revolutionise the dull selections many retailers put out there for us boys.
