The new Steven Alan for Urban Outfitters collection Lark & Wolff — you know the one that isn’t supposed to be available until around July 4th — is currently available at the NoHo Urban Outfitters on Broadway. The collection looks good and I even picked up two button-down shirts for $58 each. The UO people [...]
The good people at Division Street sat down with the gentlemen from Shipley & Halmos for a little Q&A about life in New York City, design inspirations, To Catch a Predator, and everyone’s buddy Mr. Sean Combs. The S&H gents seem genuinely normal and unaffected — just two cool guys with refined taste and a [...]
The new June issue of ForbesLife is out and inside there is a great still life story on Madras. The photography turned out wonderful and the Madras looks delicious. The shoot makes me want to go out and buy some serious summer plaid. I am starting to regret not wearing any Madras so far this [...]
My friends at Southwick sent me this great looking tote bag yesterday. My bag obsessions have been detailed here before — so no need to go there. The design is fairly innocuous until you flip it over and you see the giant “Made in the United States of America.” I love the way the bag [...]
Over the weekend I stumbled upon some great pictures of the new RRL store in East Hampton. Ralph Lauren must have decided that it wanted everyone of its brands to have a presence in the Hamptons. First we saw a new Rugby store and now this RRL outpost. The new RRL store looks typical Ralph, [...]
A few more scans from Take Ivy. Specifically, images of the J. Press New Haven shop, the Brooks Brothers flagship and some “Young at Heart” gentlemen from New York City.
The June/July issue of Details sheds some light on the special new J. Crew men’s store in TriBeCa. So far we know that the space —an old liquor store on West Broadway —is spectacular and sort of Edward Hopper-esq. What we learned from the Details article is even more exciting. One of the ACL’s idols [...]
In the late sixties, a forward thinking Japanese photographer traveled throughout the northeastern United States stopping at each of the Ivy League schools to document the style of the era. The resulting book, cryptically titled “Take Ivy”, is pure genius. The photo book was out of print until a few years ago when a small [...]
I hate to tease you people, but on Monday I will blow your mind. (Well, I’m excited about it anyway. Hopefully you will be too and everyone will win.) I just need the weekend to get everything together. Hold steady.
Flickr Find is a weekly column of interesting things found on the amazing and inspiring photo sharing website Flickr.
Long revered for his enduring style, JFK is the focus of this week’s Flickr Find. All images are public domain from the National Archives.
I have been patiently waiting for my opportunity to post something on the prepfest that is Gossip Girl and last night I got my chance. Let me preface this conversation by saying that I generally toggle between PBS, The History and Military channels, so my fixation with Gossip Girl is as strange to me as [...]
As I was going through my files recently, I came across these great old scans of J. Press catalogs from the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is good to see things haven’t changed much over there —not considering the new Madison Avenue store —which is a welcome update from the crusty old store [...]
