Call for Submissions: Gene Kelly, Style Icon

GENE KELLY FANS seeks short essays on Gene Kelly's clothing style.
Picture
​​Nearly 75 years after his prime, Gene Kelly is still considered a style icon. Prominent fashion companies like GQ, Esquire, Gap, and The Rake have used his clothes to sell theirs—and with much success, it seems. Furthermore, bloggers, message board commenters, and comic-con attendees have either discussed, made, or recreated Kelly's style for their own purposes. 

Let's join the conversation!

Send us your short essay that addresses Gene Kelly's:
  • color palette(s)
  • shoe choices
  • hat style(s)
  • suits
  • collars
  • ideal brands
  • best outfit
  • most ill-fitting outfit
  • lack of [something], e.g., jewelry, watch, tank tops, shorts

Use our SUBMISSIONS FORM to pitch your short essay addressing one of the topics above—or anything else clothing- or fashion-related. ​​​Complete drafts should be original, in English, and fall somewhere around 400-600 words.
