The business suit has gone through different epochs and will always have cachet, but artist John-Mark Ikeda says that it's lost its "mythic" status and become a casualty of our economic Armageddon, which Ikeda argues has exposed the business suit as the embodiment of failed times. Ikeda's premise is faulty, but his approach — dissecting a suit like it's a carcass, and displaying it piece by piece, including shoes, briefcase and mobile device — succeeds in its provocation. Look closely and you'll see that the outfit Ikeda uses is made in Indonesia (the cotton shirt), Romania (the shoes) and Italy (the suit itself). It takes a global village to dress the modern man. Ikeda supplies a legend that identifies each suit piece with an automobile part. Detroit's demise and reinvention, he suggests, could be a role model for the ensemble that is still Wall Street's ideal outfit.
It takes the world to suit up a man. Such a timely quote as the world is getting smaller and smaller with the advent of the Internet – and you can access almost anything even shopping. I remember putting on an ensemble that comes from various places. But what I liked best is the comfortable pair of shoes I bought from Germany. Such an usual place to buy shoes, but I love the pumps I bought from there. It was an unknown brand, but it is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have had in years.
