Soap Style, on Forbes March Online
Copy This Look!
by Gabrielle Winkel
Forbes March (Nash, OLTL) had no idea his Emmy outfit (see No. 8) "was going to cause such a stir. The women said nice things, but the men gave me a ribbing."
March, who used to model, has "always loved dressing up. I don't dress according to what I think looks good, I dress according to what I feel in the morning. I love anything expressive -- painting, sculpture, film, poetry, music or fashion -- they're all expressions on how you feel about things. And I love clothing."
Especially when it's Italian.
"Because my wife's Italian I get to go to Italy once or twice a year, so what I pay for in the plane ticket, I save about thrice in clothing," he enthuses. "There's a boutique in the town where we stay and the guy knows me really well. My mother-in-law goes in there to tell him I'm coming. He pulls me in the back room and he's got all different outfits laid out for me. I get Armani suits at a fifth of what I pay for them here."
1. "The white jacket...I like it for Nash but it's not something Forbes would wear. It's a little over the top. It's almost really cool but a bit too ostentatious." The sunglasses, however, are March's "That's my ode to Jack Nicholson."
2. "That's my 'I'm a young bad boy actor' phase. And the hat's my ode to 'Sir, may I have some more soup, please?' I used to have a really large collection of hats. I stopped because I thought I was losing my hair."
3. The pin-striped jacket is "kind of actor basic, isn't it? Except for the shoes. They're a brand of shoes in Italy called Cesare Paclott. Whenever I got to Italy, my father-in-law buys me a couple of pairs. They are like the ultimate rock star boots. Whenever I'm feeling naughty I wear those."
