oooooh this is gonna get me in trouble. There's a subset of jazz- white guys who came up in the 1980s, are on the experimental end of the music, live in NY and dress like their mothers picked out their clothes.
I would have been interested to know whether the fashion industry takes any interest in jazz musicians. We hear about classical artists doing endorsements for Rolex and expensive perfume. Does jazz ever lend a veneer of "style" to clothing lines or accessories? I imagine someone like Wynton would be up for such things.
