Johnny Depp's Secret Weapon of Style

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping, Men's Style

As we reported earlier this month, Johnny Depp was recently named the most stylish man in the world by GQ. He's not some louche designer's life-sized Ken Doll, but rather an "icon of eccentric cool" as the mag notes thanks to an offbeat and idiosyncratic wardrobe that's unique in the Hollywood hierarchy. The secret of his sartorial success? Kakkoii Mono, a vintage emporium in Bozeman, Montana that supplies the star with genuine vintage threads in mint condition which no one else is likely to turn up wearing at the same red carpet soirée. Of course much of the credit is due to his skillful stylist Samantha McMillen who is notified the minute KM founder Ellen Flanz turns up anything worthy of Depp's attention on one of her extensive buying sorties.

"Sourcing quality vintage is both labor-intensive and a labor of love," Flanz notes," and finding exceptional menswear is a challenge that I adore." Kakkoii Mono, which means "cool things" in Japanese, has just launched a new website so ordinary folk can get a bit of Depp's sprezzatura right from home, and now boasts the best collection of men's vintage clothing and accessories available anywhere online. The well-curated selection of men's suits is particularly impressive; Leonard Cohen, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson and Patrick Dempsey are also big fans. Of course, KM stocks women's items as well, including many highly collectible pieces. Check it all out at kakkoiimono.com.
