Spurned as a "notoriously grandiose and difficult" architect with an unfashionable (that is, non-Beaux Arts) style, he resorted to designing small commercial buildings in rural towns, most famously the series of eight banks he created in five Midwestern states between 1907 and 1919.

Even that word — Antipodean slang for unfashionable, which in its initial meaning referred to the dried droppings on a sheep's rear end — now seems quaint, a byproduct of a simpler era, when Magic Eye pictures kept kids entertained for hours and internet was dial-up.
Right now this industry is full of products that are cumbersome and ugly enough that you'd probably swipe left on Beyoncé wearing a pair, but this past week I had the chance to play with one that was, okay, still pretty unfashionable, but also really amazing.

Corum is the latest to prove the theory with a one-off watch with a dial made of a United States dollar coin, with a skull and octopod motif overlay; a strap made of bluejeans; and water resistance to 10 meters, a shallow, hitherto unfashionable figure.
Mr. Lucas's interests as a filmmaker were initially abstract and formal, his ambitions avant-garde (watch his student film "Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB"), so his reversion to traditional, mythic plotting and what David Foster Wallace called "single-entendre values" was so unfashionable as to be radical.
Growing up in the unfashionable Sunset District of San Francisco — described in great detail by Kushner: the fog, the clamminess, the beach bonfires, the sticky-floored Irish bars — she becomes an almost feral street kid, drinking, shoplifting, doing drugs and thinking about selling them, all before she's barely pubescent.
The ultimate political teaching of Adams's deeply political epic, then, is an unfashionable optimism about the ends of politics — in which the genuinely good society, the well-ordered regime, is not a utopia but a live possibility, a hard thing to find but one worth going out to seek.
Heads Up On a wet Friday evening on the south side of Dublin, near the Portobello neighborhood's busy and unfashionable Leonard's Corner, eight lanes of traffic crisscrossed near a halal grocer, takeout shops, the fluorescent tube lighting at Washers Laundry, and the year-old modern Irish restaurant Bastible.

Jhabvala's stories are also, of course, unfashionable for another reason: their unabashed ventriloquizing of another culture, an inhabiting of India and Indians that a contemporary author might take pains to artistically justify, all the more so now that our bookshelves are filled with Indian authors writing in English.
For all her wealth and privilege, she is loved here in Britain for having got her hands dirty as a truck mechanic in World War II. I believe,unfashionable as it is, that European and American military might has a major role to play in spreading democracy around the world.
In the past, these jackets were generally seen as being bulky and unfashionable, but, nowadays they are thinner and more attractive while still managing to maintain a high level of performance — keeping the body warm, repelling water, being breathable, etc..

On the gentrified blocks branching out around the Inner Harbor, row houses are renovated and rented out to young creatives; unfashionable neighborhoods such as West Baltimore's Penn North and Sandtown-Winchester, meanwhile, are home to a significant amount of the city's 17,000 vacant buildings, many of which are boarded up and forgotten.
Edwards' art, which combines abstraction with found objects that manifest the trenchant material legacy of tools and chains, ripples with uncompromising integrity and intelligence — Exhibit A for a perennially unfashionable body of work that has only grown in strength, decade after decade, while retaining its humility in light of the history it cites.
Superficially, the presentation was an archaeological riff on the sort of unfashionable stuff that guys unconcerned with fashion might wear for a walk in the park — boxy Lurch jackets, dad jeans with awful bleach finishes, Hawaiian-print shirts, ill-fitting anoraks, clunky brown leather shoes — or already have crammed in their closets.
The outer room includes German artist Max Liebermann's depictions of his enormous estate at Wansee, South Berlin, while the inner courtyard features, amongst big-hitters Monet and John Singer Sargent, examples by Laurits Tuxen and James Tissot — the latter at one point being so unfashionable that dealers reputedly gave his work away with other purchases.
Gatherings of a dozen people would regularly crowd around the dinner table at Charleston: it became the home away from home for the Bloomsbury Group, a collection of artists, writers and academics who lived in unfashionable Georgian squares in London's West End and who went on to radically challenge and change modern British art and literature.
It's a city that, despite a string of successful teams in the 2240s and a squad that fell one win short of the N.B.A. finals in 27, has never fully shed its "unfashionable" label, which was affixed when the best player in Bucks history — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — forced a trade to the perennially glamorous Los Angeles Lakers in 296.
He was dressed simply in a fashionable T-shirt, loose-fitting jeans, and completely unfashionable running shoes, the sole flourish in his appearance his distinctive, sculpted tuft of narrow dreads, and he responded agreeably but shyly to each person he encountered, most of whom seemed to realize they were meeting the guy from those songs only after he walked away.
There, he established his urban sophisticate bona fides by purchasing both an in-the-know newspaper (The Observer, read most avidly by the media and real estate elite) and a trophy Fifth Avenue high-rise (for which he famously overpaid) and, later, marrying a Park Avenue princess, albeit herself only one generation removed, at least on her father's side, from similarly unfashionable Queens.
Nobody in Washington was kinder to me as a novice journalist, nobody gave me more hope that my own peculiar vocation was worthwhile rather than quixotic, and few men I met in my D.C. years modeled the Christian virtues of faith and hope and charity so ebulliently, without the air of defensive irony that many of us weave around our unfashionable morality and metaphysics.
Biden has kinda sorta changed with it, but he's been a laggard rather than a leader in that change, and progressives have good reason to want another standard-bearer — either someone like Sanders who espoused progressive ideas back in the 1980s when they were unfashionable or else one of the many candidates from younger generations who simply don't have their roots in the long Nixon-Reagan-Bush era of GOP hegemony.
Done a decade before Richard Avedon was commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth to embark on what became In the American West, a series of 125 large, dramatic portraits of men and women posed against a white backdrop, many in their work clothes (coal miners with dirty faces, waitresses in uniforms, and butchers with bloody aprons), Nye's photographs are intimate studies of proud, down-on-their-luck men, rather than haute couture portraits of unfashionable people.
The excellent first volume of Charles Moore's official life of Britain's only woman prime minister made the question of Thatcher's gender the animating force behind the story: how this grocer's daughter from an unfashionable part of England overcame the prejudice of the times and her party to become Conservative leader, and then battled the skepticism and constant slights that implied that as a woman, not least a lower-middle-class one, she wasn't up to the job of running the country.
In those days, his later anti-modernist works were dismissed out of hand, with very little of his art made after 219 taken seriously, a situation made worse by the self-plagiarisms of his Metaphysical paintings that he made after World War II.
