Carbon Costume Men
Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams is best known for his involvement with The Neptunes and N.E.R.D. but is also well known for his collaboration with other musicians like Daft Punk, Robin Thicke, and Gwen Stefani. He’s also into fashion and made a statement during the 2014 Grammys with his homage to Canadian mounties.
Chris Griffin
Chris is the socially awkward and mentally immature son of the Griffin family who’s tormented by an evil monkey that lives in his closet.
Donnie Azoff
In the Wolf of Wall Street, Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill) is a salesman who goes into business with Jordan Belfort after seeing Belfort’s Jaguar in a parking lot. Together they create the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont, which was later discovered to be one of the biggest security frauds of the 1990’s.
Joe Namath
Joe Namath, a.k.a. “Broadway Joe”, won Super Bowl III while he was quarterback for the New York Jets. He stepped out during Super Bowl XLVIII in his signature fur coat for the (premature) coin flip. If you want to recreate his look, you could check out thrift shops like this guy.
Ron Woodroof
Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) is a gruff rodeo cowboy who became a hero on the AIDS front. Forming the Dallas Buyers Club, Ron worked to smuggle non-FDA approved drugs to help treat those who couldn’t afford the medications at the time.
Richie Dimaso
In American Hustle, FBI agent Richie Dimaso (Bradley Cooper) is a schemer with a beautiful head of curls. Teaming up with a group of hustlers, Dimaso channels all his energy into taking down a couple of shady politicians, all while looking pretty darn suave.
Travis Bickle
In Martin Scorsese’s movie Taxi Driver, Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is a US Marine who gets a job as a New York City cab driver. He spirals into depression due to the street crime he witnesses every night and his lack of a love life. He’s starting to get fed up, and about to take things into his own hands.
Theodore Twombly
In Spike Jonze’s film Her, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) is a lonely man who, after buying an operating system with artificial intelligence, starts falling in love with it. While the technology is futuristic, the large glasses and high-waisted pants are a throwback. Also worth a look is the Her collection from Opening Ceremony in collab with director Spike Jonze.
David Van Driessen
There are few people who have hope for the future of Beavis and Butt-head. However, David Van Driessen believes everyone has good in them. You just have to give them a second, third or fourth chance. From a classic peace sign T-shirt to Birkenstock sandals, Mr. Van Driessen is a true hippie with so much peace, love and understanding to give.
Brawny Man
Brawny Man is the manliest of the major paper towel brands. But he got a makeover a few years back and cleaned up his image. So if you wanna go full brawny like back in the 70s, you’ll want to grow out your hair, wear a mustache, and show a little chest.
