John Conte

 

 

As the Vice President of Education at Wade College, John Conte is a beloved mentor to many of the brightest young fashion minds in North Texas. Also a member of the board of Fashion Group International of Dallas, his support of the local retail and design industry is reflected in numerous programs and events each year. Not to mention, this gent’s just about as stylish as they come.

 

  “I love the East Coast styling of a good, heavy wool, three-piece suit,” John explains. Here, a version by Ralph Lauren Purple Label is paired with a gingham shirt, striped bow tie, and grosgrain belt by Rugby Ralph Lauren. He adds, “Bow ties have to be my favorite accessory.”  

  High-low combinations are another of John's signatures. His second look tops white denim from H&M with a blazer by John Varvatos.  

 

John was photographed on location at Wade College and on the campus of the Infomart. Click here to view our exclusive video featuring this Best Dressed honoree.
