Riaan Ugqozi, i-chestnut endala iyahamba, ingashaya nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. KuJacob Elordi, oneminyaka engama-25 I-Euphoria inkanyezi, ukulungiselela leso sikhathi esikhazimulayo se-epiphany enekhanda elicacile akuyona indaba yokuthi nini: kuyindaba I-WHO. Engxoxweni nge-GQ ngonyaka odlule, U-Elordi washesha ukumemeza izinganekwane zaseHollywood eziqhubeka nokugqugquzela indaba yakhe yase-Tinseltown, abadlali bemisebenzi abahlonishwayo abafana no-Bale, Ledger, no-Oldman. Kodwa uma kuziwa ekugqokeni, uthatha izinkomba zakhe esifanekisweni sezingubo zabesilisa senkathi ehlukile, abalandeli bakhe beGen Z cishe abakayijwayele: USteve McQueen.
I-Saint Christopher umgexo u-Elordi ayithandayo? Wakubamba ngeketanga elifanayo uMcQueen aligqokile impilo yakhe yonke. Ngonyaka odlule, ube yinxusa lomkhiqizo we- I-TAG Heuer Monacoiwashi uMcQueen elenza adume eklebhula inkundla yomjaho phakathi Le Mans. Manje, u-Elordi uzozela izithunzi ze-King of Cool, naye—kuleli sonto eledlule, udlulele kumcimbi we-TAG e-Australia egqoke inguqulo yesiginesha yomlingisi ongasekho wezibuko ze-Persol.
I-Persol 0649s, kanye kamuva ne-McQueen-preferred foldable 0714s, yethulwa okokuqala ngo-1957 ukusiza abashayeli bethilamu ukuthi bagcine amehlo abo evikelekile edolobheni lasekhaya lomkhiqizo i-Turin, e-Italy. Kodwa kwaze kwaba ngawo-1960, ingxenye enkulu ngenxa kaMcQueen, lapho ama-aviators anefreyimu ye-acetate abe into yamathikithi ashisayo ahlala ekhona namuhla. Kuyo yonke le minyaka eyishumi, i-brooder ye-Hall-of-Fame yenza izibuko zelanga ze-tortoiseshell ingxenye ebalulekile yomuntu wakhe, ezigqoke Bullitt, I Thomas Crown Affairfuthi I-Getaway-kanye nezimpahla eziningi ezingaphandle kwesikrini ezisize ukuqinisa ubuso bakhe kungaphambili lwezingubo zabesilisa eMount Rushmore.
Kubathandi bezimpahla zokugqoka beminyaka ethile, i-McQueen’s stylistic bona fides ayinaso isihlamba, isobala kakhulu, ngisho, ukuqophisana ngayo; kunesizathu sokuthi izingubo zomlingisi zilawule ukuphakela kwe-Tumblr ekuphakameni kwe- #inkathi yezingubo zabesilisa. U-Elordi, nokho, uwubufakazi bokuthi ukudumisa akudingeki kubukeke njenge-cosplay. Awulidingi ibhantshi lase-Harrington namabhuzu e-chukka ukuze usebenzise i-vibe kaMcQueen—ngo-2023, a i-rumpled inkinobho-upibhulukwe elinezimfishane, futhi elimnandi chain-link loafers uzokwenza kahle. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ukukhanga kwangempela kwamathunzi kaPersol, njengoba uMcQueen ngokwakhe ayazi, ukuguquguquka kwawo: abukeka njengenkanyezi elinganayo eneziqu zokubhukuda kanye nobuqili. umgexo wegolide njengoba bembatha isudi ebukhali kanye nothayi oluka kasilika.
Ukuthi uzizwa uphoqelekile ukuthi uthenge ipheya ngenxa yozalo lwabo lwase-Hollywood yasesikoleni esidala noma i-cosign yabo elandelayo kuwuhlobo oluthile ngaphandle kwephuzu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi inkathi ye-Hollywood othola kuyo ugqozi—noma mangaki ama-akhawunti e-Blogspot angasebenzi ahlala ebhaliswe egameni lakho—lezi zibuko zelanga ze-Persol zizokusiza njalo ubukeke njengesihlabani se-movie.
