Via W’s editor’s blog, Opera Chic has a clever feature on the best-dressed conductors in the classical music world—and Gustavo Dudamel, the L.A. Phil’s irrepressible new conductor, didn’t make the cut with his Giorgio Armani tails (not quite sure what he wears off the podium, perhaps he’s donning DC Shoes apparel). However, his predecessor, Esa-Pekka Salonen (right), nabbed a spot on the list: “During rehearsals, his uniform reflects his casual L.A. style: black cotton t-shirt, black Levis and black boots. As a youthful fifty-something with intense blue eyes and blond hair, he can actually pull it off.” —Paul Dexter
