"No designer has really wowed me yet, I'm into other people's recommendations when it comes to fashion"
About this Quote
The second half does more work. "I'm into other people's recommendations" frames style not as genius or obsession, but as delegation. Subtext: fashion is a social practice, not a solitary art. He’s locating his taste in a network (stylists, friends, partners, cultural mood) and admitting that he’s receptive to guidance. That humility plays well in an era that’s suspicious of performative connoisseurship; it also signals pragmatism from a working actor whose job is visibility, not couture scholarship.
Context matters: menswear celebrity culture often rewards two extremes, the peacock and the minimalist who claims not to care. Ashmore threads a third lane. He’s not anti-fashion; he’s anti-hype. The result is a persona that feels approachable and low-drama, while still leaving the door open to being dressed well. It’s a soft rejection of the myth that taste must be innate, and a reminder that "style" is often just well-curated listening.
