Everyone knows that, as a curator at LACMA, Franklin Sirmans has impeccable taste when it comes to art. Those who have met him also know he’s one heck of a dresser. This is why Bloomingdale’s has chosen Simans as one of its seven L.A. Style Icons (the others include TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie, stylist Johnny Wujek, actor Manish Dayal, chef Roy Choi, sunglasses designer Garrett Leight and Media RED founder Tom Leach) and launched its L.A. Style Icons lookbook this past Monday. Here, this sartorially impressive curator shares his insider’s guide to Los Angeles (which, of course, includes a few shoutouts to his very favorite place in the City of Angels, LACMA).
