Amok at the Chateau.

“The fashion industry is retarded. It doesn’t make sense. There is too much product out there and when you’re a wholesale business it’s really impossible to resolve. You can’t, because if you want to be in a store like Barney’s, you can’t just deliver twice a year. You can’t just have two runway shows.” -Scott Sternberg

Band Of Outsiders Spring 2014

WHEN IT COMES to fashion shows, Scott Sternberg is nothing but original!.

Okay so let me give you the details, they actually live streamed this collection from Hotel Chateau Marmont's Rm. 29. The show was prepped to depict the lifestyle of a touring musician. Folk musician Devendra Banhart was the model elected to not leave the room until all 20 outfits were tried on and modeled about.

If you know anything about K.J.(ME) you know there is nothing I love more than suburban Preppywear with a little bit of city boy chic!

Yes Yes Yes i was in Menswear Heaven!

UNTAILORED

“All of our designs—you can pull them over your head, you can wash them, and they can go in the dryer. It’s an effortless kind of styling.” - Jenna

I would never guess Ace & Jig started in 2010, viewing this well made Spring 2014 RTW collection. Designers Cary Vaughan and Jenna Wilson met September 10, 2001.

"Through the years, we worked together at different jobs and had a design team that moved with us. We got married around the same time, we were each other's bridesmaids, we had kids around the same time- it's kind of awesome," Cary says " We lived together for a while, and when we didn't live together, we lived two blocks from each other in East Village," Jenna adds. " Now we both live in Brooklyn."

There are two very special things about Ace & Jig. One being (Ace & Jig) are the initials of their first born children Alice an James. Two is the use of custom made cotton textiles to create comfortable, yet beautiful silhouettes, and patterns, like the checkered top for instance.

At first glance you would think these clothes could only be worn in a casual setting. BUT you would be wrong! ;) The way this line was constructed untailored or not, each individual piece can be styled up or down per occasion!

Fresh

"If someone realizes the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience."

-Alexander Wang

2014 Spring Menswear Collection

Leather in Summer? That is all i see this season. Growing up if i wanted to wear leather/Suede my mother would say it was unacceptable in spring/summer. Today it is very much accepted!

Alexander brought a fresh new edge to Spring/Summer. The way he cut and diced the leather and added it to every piece is exciting to me. Wang made leather look clean, light and free, which is very important for summer. Alexander Wang always stays true to its casual athletic edge, and i love love love him for it.

"When Christopher Shannon was a kid going out to clubs in Liverpool and Manchester he always wanted to dress up and stand out. A cheap way of doing this was a little glitter spray so we took inspiration from Christopher's love of glitter and the super club scene and completely covered the model's heads in coloured glitter and finishing it off with our Fudge Glitter Blast hair spray,"
