Doug Bihlmaier
Doug Bihlmaier is a living example of the cliche 'don't judge a book by its cover'. In a small class, it was easy to pick out what was thought to be a homeless man, lacking money, personal hygiene and respect. What to most people at first looks like a rough hair cut, tacky trousers and undesirable shoes is actually a fashion genious. Bihlmaier works for ralph lauren vintage, he is paid ludacris amounts of money to ravel the world finding patterns and items that he can work with to create 'vintage' items for ralph lauren in their vintage range. He has a teepee where he relaxes, it is a small area that is worth a fortune but again people can not appreciate the value of what he owns as it is impossible to tell whether some of his belongings are worthless or priceless.
He has been voted one of the top ten most stylish men in the world, and is responsible for a majority of the designs we see in high street shops today, although the high street shops have taken his original design ideas, that he makes millions out of, and have condensed them to make affordable products that everyone can afford. Bihlmaier has revolutionised the fashion world but still at first glance people stereotype. Stereotypes are forever getting out of control, teenagers with hoods up are always carrying a weapon or in this case a man dressed quite rough is homeless. We were given a suprise when we were told he was not a vagabond but a man whose shoes are worth more than our whole wardrobe. The shoes that it is easy to get the wrong idea about someone without knowing background information about them, this can be used in television aswell though to percieve a character to be something instantly, just by showing us a few things about the character and not actually getting to know them.
