The AW08 collection from Hickey looks relaxed, disheveled and cool. The new offerings are my favorite collection from the Hickey Freeman spin-off since Mr. Tommy Fazio departed for the green pastures Bergdorf. I loved the very wearable selection of corduroy trousers, khaki pants, soft knits and wovens. The company even added raw denim jeans for [...]
I have moments where I want to live in a world before plastic. Before everything became branded and disposable. The 1940s would do the trick. When packages were wrapped in brown paper and twine. When your dust pan was steel and your breadbox (this is the 40s - you have a bread box) was [...]
As a PR guy I should be upset by that headline, but I’m not. I like to keep things pure and simple just as much as the public television station WHYY in Philadelphia.
Kempt had a good item on national Mr. Rogers sweater day.
Jonathan S. Paul, a friend of ACL, sent me this post card from Paris. He’s there covering women’s fashion for The Moment blog.

I posses a natural tendency to be a very curious person. I want to know what makes the world work. My curiosities extend to include the root causes of historical events and social movements. Out of the many topics that I am interested in, there are a few random subjects that for some reason I [...]
My business partner Ali always says that the Independent Spirit Awards are by far her favorite awards show. “They are just so casual, so fun and relaxed” she says. The guys came out dressed just like Ali said, casual and comfortable. Definitely how I would want to dress for an awards show.

Anyone that read David Colman’s piece in the Thursday Styles yesterday could have predicted that I wouldn’t be able to resist covering it here. I am a huge fan of work wear inspired fashion. Growing up in blue-collar Ohio I suppose you could say it is in my blood. Brands like Red Wing, Carhartt, Wigwam, [...]
Last week I had a chance to catch up with my friends at Original Penguin and check out the company’s fall collection. I always liked the retro-style of the reincarnated Penguin. The company has done a good job of keeping their merchandising and distribution strong. While I was perusing the new offerings, I stumbled upon [...]
