Zero + Maria Cornejo Menswear Collection
14 years ago
Maria Cornejo’s new collection is an extension of her distinctive approach to using women’s design elements as key pieces for men. Classic Zero + Maria Cornejo shapes are the foundation of the collection, including a rain jacket that is concave shaped, and a textured cotton double-layered shirt. But really? What is up with the sandal/clog/slingback shoe? Would any straight man ever be caught in something like this? I need to know who makes them, and if they’re comfortable, because these random shoes are pretty enough for me any day. And as always, no collection is complete without a pair of black tailored slim trousers, and Cornejo’s look fantastic.
The new collection will be available in February 2010.
Simple Shades for Winter
15 years ago
I’m into very simple shades for the winter and holiday season. Black, Red and shades of nude create a timeless look – which can be mistaken for current, even cutting edge trends. Some of these pieces are a bit pricey, however the designer labels are tried and true – and as many of my friends who swear by designer labels, you’ll get much more use (wear and tear) out of well constructed, designer pieces than you will buying five times the shirts at H&M or Forever 21.
Items shown above: 1. Free People, Studded black ‘Blackout Belt‘ 2. Dolce Vita’s Rex wedge heel in Black (also available in Grey) 3. CC Skye Hindge Bracelet in Brown (available in Chocolate Brown, not Black) 4. Karen ZAMBOS Carmen Top 5. Treesje Bryant Clutch in Cherry 6. Sanctuary Tomboy Tencil Twill Pant 7. Twelfth Street Luella Wedge in Nude 8. House of Harlow Plated Aztec Bangle in Black.
Rent Designer Labels with Rent The Runway
15 years ago
Harvard Business School graduates Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss came up with the strategy for Rent the Runway, a clothing concept that has been compared to Netflix. The duo has created an online platform making typically unattainable fashion accessible to a much larger demographic.
Rent the Runway allows its members to rent designer dresses for up to 4 days for $50 – $200, or approximately 10% of their retail value. For an additional $25 you can choose an alternate dress option to be shipped, in case the fit or style is not right.
The Most Expensive Jeans in the World
15 years ago
The Hank-Dyed line from Naked & Famous is the most expensive denim in the world at $777 a pair. So far, thirty-seven pairs have been produced. Each one is signed and numbered. Every step of the production process is done by hand. The Hank-Dyed line will be available soon at Barneys.
Naked & Famous Denim uses only the most unique and rare denim fabrics from Japan. The prestigious mill in Japan, from which they import all their fabric, is committed to producing only the best (and most expensive) denim in the world. Throughout each step in denim production (weaving, dyeing, finishing) the mill uses a combination of old school and modern methods and practices. So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist.

Albert Hammond Jr. Does Suits
15 years ago
I’ve been digging Albert Hammond Jr.’s music for a couple of years now. My friend from Minneapolis, Minnesota got me hooked on his sound (thanks Rob). Since then I’ve also been drawn to Jr’s. style. Everything about him from wardrobe to album cover has been stellar.
I wasn’t entirely surprised to hear that he is doing a new line of men’s suits…and that they rock. They’ve been coined as smart, sleek and insanely covetable. There’s a delectable burgundy version, snappy three-pieces, and a fitted trench with enough length to wear into the colder months. Available at Confederacy, each ensemble will cost you about $2000.
