DON JOHNSON WANTS YOU TO READ HIS T-SHIRT

Knives Out star Don Johnson was a major fashion influence on Miami Vice in the 80’s and he hopes to influence you to vote this year. Don’s character on the show, Sonny Crockett, wore pastel linen suits (sleeves pushed up) with t-shirts and no socks. He also popularized “designer stubble” and Rolex watches. Director Michael Mann made Miami look glamorous and cool. In fact, after Miami Vice ended, the city of Miami blossomed and became THE place to party and vacation. Don, now 70, and looking good, has simplified his wardrobe and gets right to the point these days…

CAN YOU IMAGINE HELENA BONHAM CARTER WITH DON JOHNSON?

It’s always fun to see Helena Bonham Carter out shopping in New York with her mother because they are obviously so much alike. Both her parents (her father is deceased) are from prominent UK families. Elena Propper de Callejon is a psychotherapist and Helena has her mom read her scripts and they discuss characters and motives. Certainly a LOT of Helena’s off-beat style runs in the family, although she credits Marie Antoinette and Vivienne Westwood as her fashion influences. Believe it or not, the versatile Helena once played Don Johnson’s love interest in episodes of Miami Vice!

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS BEARDED 80’S HEARTTHROB?

No, it’s not Nick Nolte – this happens to be Miami Vice star (and fashion icon) Don Johnson who made girls swoon as Sonny Crockett in the hit series. We assume he’s sporting this beard for the untitled movie he’s in the middle of filming in the Venice canals. Don, 63, whom we last saw as a plantation owner in “Django Unchained” is still a handsome man without all that facial hair.
