Had Brad Pitt been younger I think he might have made a fine Jay Gatsby. What a shame that role was given to such an over-worked actor who didn't need another blockbuster film role. Had Baz Luhrmann not sold out to Brooks Brothers too, he might have also struck a deal with Tom Ford to do the clothes and then all that electricity might have flowed between them to create something like the image below, something where all the elements came together. I don't know whether Tom Ford did create the items below but it bares his signature, the wide shawl lapel, the turned back cuffs, the oversized tie-your-own black satin bow tie which has been pre-tied for your viewing pleasure. What a shot. Don't be surprised if it is remembered as one of the greatest photos of a would-be Jay Gatsby.
