Icon of my childhood and space star Levardis Robert Martyn Burton Jr. has been awarded the National Humanities Medal for Literacy and Education Contributions by the National Endowment for Humanities.


In addition to being an inspiration for my innate love of literature and reading he also cares about being a style star.

Burton had an exchange with Derek (@dieworkwear) on Twitter:

Thank you, Derek! Any notes…?

You look great! Genuinely love the fabric. Really distinct while also being very tasteful. Also love the cut of the suit (especially shoulders) and gleam of the patent leather shoes.

The suit is by my favorite menswear designer, Ozwald Boateng.
