As far as I know, Mr. Fermor has never been nominated as a "style icon" although he has been described as "a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene." But Fermor's passing away makes clear, to me at any rate, why this superb, idiosyncratic writer of travels and journeys should rank highly in the the world of men's style.
Fermor's sense of style was refreshingly organic to his person, and, quite likely, simply inseparable from the life he lived. A fitting lesson on style.
