Robert Redford: A Style Icon and Legendary Actor Bids Farewell

Robert Redford, the iconic actor, director, and Oscar winner, has passed away at the age of 89. Known for his charismatic presence, commitment to independent film, and distinctive style, Redford shaped the film world over six decades.

In a career spanning over half a century, Redford defined a new image of men with his style in films like "The Electric Horseman", "The Great Gatsby", and "Downhill Racer". He popularized the "smart casual" look, including shirts loosely tucked into pants, wristwatch, jacket over turtleneck sweater, and the all-denim look from "Downhill Racer".

In "The Electric Horseman", Redford wore a cowboy look with a mustache, flannel shirt, blond mane, and silver chain. In "The Great Gatsby", he defined the chic of the seventies with a white suit, yellow tie, and cap. He was also seen wearing a peacoat in some of his films and wore cord as a casual suit with naturalness, a fabric that is now making a comeback.

Redford's role in "The Old Man & The Gun" was based on an article that appeared in the New Yorker in 2003. The crime comedy, released in early 2019, features Redford as bank robber Forrest Tucker, who managed to escape from prison 17 times.

The fashion industry is mourning the loss of Redford, who was a style icon of his time. His fashion choices have influenced many and continue to be relevant even today. The search results do not provide information about who took the photograph of Redford for the magazine "Blauer."

Redford's fashion legacy will be remembered and celebrated in the fashion industry. In 2018, he announced his retirement from acting and largely retired at the age of 81. Despite having two films pending: "Our Souls at Night" and "The Old Man & The Gun", he kept his promise and his last role was in "The Old Man & The Gun".

Robert Redford won an Oscar for his directorial debut "Ordinary People" and "Quiz Show" received nominations for "Best Picture" and "Best Director". His contributions to the film industry will forever be cherished, and his style will continue to inspire generations to come.
