Our friends at DETAILS put together another great Rules of Style with Consuelo Castiglioni, the forward thinking creative director of Marni. As I have said before, these types of Q&As are hard to do in an interesting manner, but DETAILS is on a roll. Some of my favorite bits from Ms. Castiglioni:
5. Shoes define the [...]
The August issue of GQ is out and as to be expected, it is great. Just when you thought it couldn’t get better than the Summer Dresses Summer Suits story in July they hit you with Mr. John Slattery AKA Roger Sterling cloaked head-to-toe in plaid goodness.
GQ continues its campaign of shock and awe with the July cover. Never in my life have I wanted to be a pair of socks more than right now. More good stuff to come from the issue.
The Japanese book store receives magazines in two types of shipments, one by air mail (or via All Nippon or whatever) and one by “sea” as they say at the store. Well it seems I might have sparked some interest in Free & Easy, because the first three times I went to pick up the [...]
My friends from the South and I have all been excited about the Charleston, South Carolina published magazine called Garden & Gun. It beautifully celebrates Southern style and culture. The new issue has an interesting feature on Quail hunting in Thomasville, Georgia. Having spent quite a bit of time with family in the Golden Isles [...]
Number five of a five part series.

Number four of a five part series.

Number three of a five part series.
My obsession with the April issue of Free & Easy rolls on with the awesomeness that is the accessory still life pages. The nautical theme continues through the world of belts, Zippos, ID bracelets, padlocks, hats and shoes. The pages are a buyers guide to all things Navy and [...]
Mister Alexander Olch is featured in the Fanfare section of the April issue of Vanity Fair.
Full disclosure, Olch is a client.
The guys over at Men’s Vogue put together an amazing feature on movies that influenced men’s fashion. You can see the entire story here.
Some of my favorites below:
Plein Soliel (1960)
The Graduate (1967)
At Your Service is a weekly round-up of helpful and interesting service journalism. Inspired by the “ultimate in service and style” Vitals magazine. I follow the media and keep you in the know. *(And yes, technically none of these are actually “charticles” but who is keeping track)
For the first installment of AYS, I take [...]
