Carlos Campos Fall/Winter 2015 Menswear Collection

by John Stolen February 12, 2015

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

Carlos Campos delivered a flawlessly executed collection that showcases his signature texture blocking and layered images. Keeping the colors in a muted range (navy, grey, black, white, and the occasional deep emerald) the F/W 2015 season is all about layered pattern – color-blocked raglan button-downs on checked wool trousers, and geo collar prints under charcoal grey pinstripes. The Rafafans influence is clear as graphic silhouettes peek out from under woolen open-collar coats, and neoprene is contrasted against velveteen. Campos plays with textures to create a dreamlike atmosphere in which ever-evolving perception is key.

J.Lindeberg Autumn/Winter 2015 Menswear Collection

by John Stolen February 12, 2015

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

From 2001: A Space Odyssey to 2015’s Space Vision: A Tailored Odyssey. J.Lindeberg’s A/W 2015 Menswear collection is overtly inspired by travel in outer space, and the contrast between Earth and Mars. The collection is everything you could hope to see when presented with such a title. Slim fit trousers, the edges of a metallic knit sweater peeking out from the sleeves and neck of fitted blazers and bombers. Metallic boots! There are metallic leather boots, which draw the collection together.

Hickey Freeman Sportswear Fall/Winter 2015 Collection

by John Stolen February 12, 2015

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

Hickey Freeman’s David Hart does not disappoint this season with a collection that takes the label back to its all-American roots. Incorporating the autumnal palette of deep red, ochre, burnt orange, and a healthy mixture of brown and navy Hart gives a modern turn to the wide-brimmed bowlers and shearling bombers by creating a collection for every life situation the modern, metropolitan (or even suburban) man may face. The season ranges from a navy blazer checked with red over grey trousers, to a blue button-up paired with burgundy sweatpants, and plenty of solid suits to round out the many facets of a man’s lifestyle.

Katya Leonovich Fall/Winter 2014

by John Stolen February 12, 2014

From her very first runway show in 2001, Katya Leonovich has implemented a signature “beautiful garbage” and this year’s show has been no exception. Her staple garment patterns – a chic criss-cross in effect, bubble dresses, and unique incorporation of prints – all made a welcome appearance in her F/W collection. In a largely gray color palette, the show had an air of rock glam – shimmering garments with metal details, paired with perfectly coiffed faux-hawks and killer thigh-high boots, the line embodies an aesthetic fit for a modern-day, imperial Russian Princess.

Bosideng Fall 2014 Collection

by John Stolen February 6, 2014

written by John Stolen 0 minutes read

The Bosideng F/W presentation, though only displaying 12 looks, was as solid as one might expect from the label that got its start primarily as a coat-maker. High-quality fabrics, pieced together in a smooth, almost seamless line. A mix of gray solid 2-button and plaid double-breasted (is there any other kind?) suits balanced the puffy down outerwear pieces.

David Hart Fall 2014 Collection

by John Stolen February 6, 2014

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

Not entirely certain where New York City based David Hart was coming from or going with this collection. The craftsmanship is solid, to be sure. His signature bowling shirt print was included, lest any forget whose line this is. As a collection, there is little continuity, aside from the patent leather brogues, displayed in a variety of muted hues. Each piece stands alone, tells its own wayfaring story.

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

Fall is officially upon us – with winter a close step behind, judging by the fridge mornings we’ve been having here in New York. What better way to fend off the crystals hanging in the air than to sip a warm red out of crystal goblets? No need to wait for your next dinner party (though that would also be a marvelous opportunity to break out the crystal), and no need to break the bank if you’ve yet to acquire your own set of crystal ware! Villeroy and Boch’s Miss Desiree Drinkware collection is designed for every day use – sturdy, strong, and elegant – adding a little luxury to each toast. Here’s to fall, and to surviving the impending winter with some sparkle!

A lot of thought and care went into Lyn Devon’s spring collection – inspired by her recent travels to Morocco, the hand painted linens and embroidered
tulle blend masterfully with a careful structuring reminiscent of Jackie Onassis. Lyn Devon Spring 2014 0
