It is interesting to see the Event listing for 'The look of the architect', a talk related to how Architects dress and the like.
There was mention of the stereotype of architectural staff 'always' wearing black. This is interesting as I've noticed a change from the Architects wearing black (my theory was that one needed to be prepared for unemployment and then you could get a job as a waiter) to Architects wearing black and riding Vespas (you could get a job in a restaurant kitchen) to Architects wearing skinny pants, v necks and riding fixies (get a job as a barrista).
Discuss.

That's just an excuse for me to link this cool vid.
