CESAR BANARES

The aristocratic gentlemanly ideal persists
even if few have the poise and fewer still
the temerity to pursue this ideal.

Cesar is among those with the appropriate
qualifications. He is wearing a cobalt blue
vinyl jacket, black denim pants, and shoes
from the John Fluevog store on Granville
Street.

A Star Trek belt buckle and a lustrous
metallic L.E.D. watch provide a futuristic
sensibility to Cesar’s look, and suggest that
chivalry will endure until at least the 24th
century.

Cesar’s lime green shirt with oversized
collar indicates that this exuberant display
of masculinity is about engaging with the
immediate as much as it is about engaging
with tradition.
