My Opinions (on Simon): Great wardrobe; in fact, I give him 8/10 Stars! I loved his outfit in the 'The Reflex' video--the black-and-white jacket is to die for. And those gloves; AWESOME!!!

His outfit on the first Duran Duran album called, 'Duran Duran' (go figure); is pretty dang cool!
It's puffy, and almost overboard--but heck, I care not! lol
