Labor Day, on Monday, is the end of the summer as far as I am concerned so break out your best for all of the day’s festivities. Beginning on Tuesday; all white, linen, madras, shorts, and summer hats are no more! . Whether be grilling, drinking, swimming, rugby, or a combination of all…make the best [...]

Posted in Art, Film, tagged Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, State Of The Art on August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Two incredible late 20th century artists who we lost far too early together for one of the best art documentaries i’ve seen since the Rothko piece. This was filmed in 1986, right before their demise. Be sure to check it out, and the rest of the State Of The Art series.

I’ve always been fascinated by the automobiles from the first half of the 20th century, as is the case for most things from that era. They look like such magical wonders, and their owners could not be any happier based on their faces. Also, notice that the third picture in the series features a car [...]

with help from Gant and Scott Schuman (aka The Sartorialist). I figured this would be a good follow up to the Stockholm praise considering Scott shot both sets of photos. Gant and Scott got together and took these incredible shots featuring some of New York’s own. I have to say Gant continues to surprise me [...]
Stockholm Reigns

I’ve seen a lot of photos of city dwellers throughout the world and while New York, London, Milan, and Paris all have inspiring citizen’s wardrobes….none catches my eye like Stockholm’s populace. It reminds me of a very relaxed Portofino/Dior Homme look, which I would of never thought possible together in one city. Photos courtesy of [...]

What the hell took so long for true American fashion to grace the pages of men’s publications! I was in the grocery store the other day, and browsed the new Details. To my surprise, it seemed as if they had been hit in the head with the Americana bug! Finally, it seems it is getting [...]

The Glade is one of the few shops that carries, for the most part, everything that I could see myself wearing. It’s all very functional and sharp. Right now, there’s a summer sale on brands such as Head Porter, Neighborhood, Visvim, and more. Don’t sleep, the sizes are going quick. Here’s a couple that caught [...]

Ralph Lauren Rugby Fall 2008
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Ralph Lauren, rugby on August 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
While this new line from Rugby steps it up as far as how legit the items are; some of it actually seems quite contrived to the point of not being able to wear it…take the 1930 crew neck for instance. However, the cardigans, elbow-patched crew necks, and club collar button ups are quite exciting. The [...]
