Transcript

00:00I'm Andrew Weitz, and we work with men and women who work in fields where their professional image has a direct impact on their success.

00:09Today we're meeting first-time Emmy nominee Jimmy Simpson from the mega-hit HBO series, Westworld.

00:15We are going to take his red carpet game to a whole other level.

00:22The first step, a consultation with Jimmy to get a sense of his personal style.

00:26Jimmy, what's up, my man?

00:29Good thing, now that I'm hugging you.

00:31Yeah.

00:32It's been a bit.

00:33Last time I hung out with you really was 2013.

00:36You were working at my agency.

00:38Yeah.

00:39And you had this sparkle in your eye about style.

00:43That was one of my defining moments.

00:46Still being an agent, I said to myself, I'm meant to do this.

00:51We're going to talk a little bit about the red carpet Emmys.

00:54I would say in general, classic lines and tailoring.

00:59I have a hard time buying slacks because everything, there's like this towards the bottom.

01:03Taper.

01:04Taper, thank you.

01:05Yeah.

01:06It's not for me.

01:07I see you the same way you do, but I also see you busting out into something very cool, very different.

01:16We are going to have a selection and we're going to try on some things.

01:20Oh my God.

01:21And let's just have fun with it.

01:22Thank you, man.

01:23There's a lot more.

01:24There's a lot more to do.

01:25Cut!

01:27See you in a week.

01:28I can't wait.

01:29We now have a good idea of Jimmy's style, so let's go to Beverly Hills and see what we

01:33can find.

01:34This is great.

01:35I love this.

01:36And then you can play with bow ties.

01:37Definitely that.

01:38This is really nice.

01:39I want to have that as an option.

01:40And this too.

01:41And this three.

01:42Why not?

01:43Right?

01:44After a great day of prep, I selected several black tie options for Jimmy to try on.

01:59Andrew.

02:00Jimmy.

02:01How are you feeling?

02:02I feel really good.

02:03I feel excited.

02:04Yeah?

02:05To have your skill set draped over me.

02:07What we're going to do is I'm going to show you some of the pieces that I showed you on

02:11the iPad during the consultation.

02:12You know, check out.

02:13See how it feels.

02:14And I'm going to show you other options.

02:15Let's have fun.

02:16And that's as sharp as a razor blade what you're wearing right up there.

02:18Please.

02:19Please.

02:20Don't touch it.

02:21Don't touch it.

02:22Don't cover it.

02:23I wouldn't touch it.

02:24Thank you very much.

02:25Thank you very much.

02:27See me after.

02:28I'll help you.

02:29Okay.

02:30Should we start?

02:31The first look is a Brioni Jacquard dinner jacket, which I paired with a black tuxedo

02:37pant, patent leather shoes, and a wingtip tuxedo shirt with no bow tie.

02:44The second look is a double-breasted chocolate brown velvet smoking jacket from Brunello Cuccinelli.

02:50We paired that with a black pant, tuxedo slippers, and a black satin bow tie to complement the

02:56lapels.

02:57The first two looks are great options, but Jimmy and I decided on the third look as the

03:03winner.

03:04All right.

03:05How do you feel?

03:06I feel ready.

03:07Try this jacket.

03:08Okay.

03:09I want to make sure that we are showing some cuff.

03:11The pant we want tailored.

03:14A hand-tie bow tie is the way to go.

03:16Come on.

03:17I'm sure it is, but I'm from rural New Jersey.

03:20That's okay.

03:21I'm going to teach you, but I'm not going to do it right now.

03:23What I want to do is just kind of give you the look.

03:25This is a pre-tie from Brioni.

03:28I will probably want a velvet bow tie to match the lapels.

03:33Now, for shoes, I'm going to go with these.

03:36They're from Todd's.

03:37Okay?

03:38Tassel, velvet, leather.

03:42Pocket square could be a nice touch.

03:44We could go this way and just...

03:46I don't even know what you just did.

03:47Look, look, look, look.

03:48Look at this shit.

03:49What?

03:50Gone.

03:51Gone.

03:52It's in there.

03:53You have a little bit of a poof.

03:55Or we do a flat look, but slightly messy.

03:58I've made my own pocket squares out of socks.

04:03So then, go ahead and button this jacket.

04:05You can do a no-show sock.

04:07So when we put on the shoe, there's ankle showings.

04:10That's not a look that's close to my heart, but I would do it if that was essential.

04:14Well, for this look, it's not essential.

04:16I feel like a man's place to shine is often in his socks.

04:21You would, but that was eight years ago.

04:24We're doing a little something different now.

04:25You can't.

04:26Yeah.

04:27Am I eight years behind?

04:28Welcome.

04:29I'm going to finish this look off.

04:30Okay.

04:31You wear eyewear.

04:32I think for this, a nice black frame.

04:36This is really beautiful.

04:37This is great.

04:39I love this look.

04:40Once we tailor it up, this is what you're going to look.

04:43I think this is the look, Andrew.

04:44Well done.

04:45What?

04:46You're red carpet ready, my friend.

04:47That's me up there?

04:48Yeah.

04:49You're looking so, so sharp.

04:50I love it.

04:51I have such a smile on my face.

04:52Let's crush it.

04:53And good luck.

04:55Jimmy and I love the Giorgio Armani charcoal tuxedo with black velvet lapels.

05:00Paired with a velvet and leather tassel loafer from Todd's.

05:04Have a good one.
