Fashion comes in all sizes!

Matthew Weiner, is one of America’s most influential show runners, Producer of the critically acclaimed AMC TV series Mad Men set in New York City, in the ruthlessly competitive world of Madison Avenue advertising executives in the 1960s – full of style, glamour, cigarettes, politics and scandals, this Golden Globe®-winning series has it all.

And although I haven’t caught up with this sexy and provocative take on the 1960′s yet(Entourage & The Tudors are first on my list), another Weiner’s stylish creations particularly caught my attention, while I was browsing for style and info on GQ Menstyle.com.
It literally got me glued to my computer screen, for too long to be healthy. It wasn’t another TV series, it was much better than that

An 8yrs old 2nd grader, who clearly understands Fashion and Personal Style, his son Arlo Weiner. Named after singer Arlo Guthrie whom he also listens to.
This young lad touching up his hair, loves Frank Sinatra, watches old English movies, knows how to pull off an Ascot, wears plaid pants, Beret, owns many ties and uses a leather satchel as a school bag, and as if this wasn’t enough, he doesn’t like to wear Jeans, Pardon!!!
Arlo’s sense of style and charisma have already captivated many, including myself. Even in L.A., a city where half the populace dresses to be noticed. I say Style sensation at 8, Renown Fashion Designer at 15.

Chuck Bass would be impressed and proud - Co-sign the clothing style, not so sure about the evil plotting yet –

Arlo stays true to himself it seems, wearing what suits him, defining Fashion in his own words, acting his age but most importantly, having fun with it all.

He plans to start designing his own clothes as soon as his mother gets him a sewing machine – Mrs. Weiner, please hurry .
With his touch of style, love for mix and match, and bright colors + patterns, his clothes are something I look forward to, rendezvous in 6 years Mad Boy.

This extraordinary piece of man leads to question whether, we all know who we are supposed to be and what we are meant to do from a very young age? Before “reality” weights in, and starts influencing and sometimes guiding our life choices.

Whether it be flying planes, sewing clothes, writing stories or serving in the army, I am confident that if we all dig deep in ourselves, we will find, covered in dust, with all sorts of obligations, bills, taxes, stress all over itthe “IT Factor” that makes us who we truly are. Arlo’s interest and passion for Fashion seem to be “IT”.

So, what were you doing in your Arlo’s years? What did you aspire to become? Are you doing anything close to “IT” today? It could be interesting and very revealing to look back
and see.

Arlo Weiner’s personality is simply mind blowing to me, and looking beyond the clothes and quirkiness of this 8 years old, I see an inspiration, perhaps even a role model, at such a young age, it certainly puts things back in perspective.

I leave you on this.

Until then, Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
