The late Claus von Bülow, a hauntingly debonaire gentleman, was convicted and then acquitted of the attempted murder of his wife in 1980.
Portrayed by my long time thespian muse Jeremy Irons in the film “Reversal of Fortune,” I was inspired to fuse my own contemporary assessment of the then-and-now versions of both the character portrayal and the man himself.
Cold, confident, and smugly conceited, I have draped von Bülow in crisp micro geometric patterns both in suiting and casual wear. Sumptuous weaves of brushed cotton & cashmere, velvet and fancy jacquards set the tone for my sartorial interpretation of this mysterious historical dandy.
