Neil Barrett Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Tim Blanks review
Coming from a long line of naval tailors, Neil Barrett has the cut in his blood. There is always a military precision in the way he creates new hybrids from his influences. This season, for instance, he blended army fatigues, biker leathers, and the natty houndstooths and herringbones of the 2 Tone ska revival. Then he shrunk and cropped the whole lot to Barrett's signature proportions and sat it on top of chunky cyber-bovver sandals. Some of the combinations looked completely natural, like the tan trench or wool blazer hybridized with a motocross jacket, or the biker vest with the army green cotton back. They were the most convincing. Other pairings were less so. True, within the mandate of the collection, a leather-patched aviator jacket over houndstooth shorts was logical enough. Likewise, the herringbone blouson with the cropped pants.

Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Bottega Veneta menswear 2011 milan fashion week


Tim Blanks review

Anyone who still imagines fashion remains willfully oblivious to current events would probably be surprised to learn that Tomas Maier was inspired by 2011's Arab Spring, when he conceived the latest men's collection for Bottega Veneta. The Arab world's pursuit of democracy got him thinking about the integration of different sartorial traditions in a way that was about genuine synthesis, rather than banal ethnic influences. By the time they reached the catwalk, Maier's creative impulses had been well and truly sublimated. A casual overview might suggest that relatively conventional two-piece tailoring ruled (even if the suits were crumpled). Still, a residue of the Great Elsewhere lingered in the unplaceability of a number of the clothes, neither Middle East nor Midwest, but with an undertow of both. The buttoned-up-tight mandarin-collared jackets and matching pants had a military mien—add sunglasses, a general's cap, and a hundred kilos, and you'd have yourself a best-dressed dictator. That control was contrasted with a shopping list of fabric treatments: washing, creasing, over-printing, over-dyeing, dip-dyeing. Checks were bleared like they'd been hand-blocked. A tweed was really a printed cotton. Just a fashion illusion, but here it poked as much as it pleased.

Tim Blanks review

Dean and Dan Caten are twenty-first-century vaudevillians, incapable of presenting a new collection without couching it in a saucy variety show. Today's revolving stage coughed up some sexy Scandinavian fisherman, a buffet of Mykonos beefcake, a couple of lower-the-temperature Roman ragazzi, a handful of droogy rockers, and Kazaky, four dizzy queens from the Ukraine whose post-Gaga get-outta-my-way-bitch shtick involved a gravity-defying dance routine performed in skintight leather pants and sky-high heels. Phew! Oh, there were some clothes shown, too.

DC FASHION EVENT: Ties That Bind(less)



First Street Style presents, “Ties That Bind(less),” an exhibition and sale of vintage 20th century, Italian, men’s neckwear curated by Michael Joyner.

The exhibit opens this Saturday, August 28th at NOA Gallery from 3:00PM until 6:30PM at 132 Rhode Island Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20001.

“Ties That Bind(less),” will run until September 11th, and be open during the week from Wednesday through Friday from 6PM to 9PM.

The collection will feature an array of luxurious neckties that span various decades in Italy’s rich fashion history. The ties afford a unique ability to accessorize with a stylish sophistication that is sure to distinguish one from fleeting fashion trends, while allowing the style novice to ‘up-grade’ even the most basic ensemble.

Crafted from some of the finest silks and wool, the ties feature original patterns and weaves that design houses of today are working vigorously to emulate. The vintage provenance of the ties will make it virtually impossible to find another gentleman wearing the same tie. The collection features classic brands like Clubman, Tino Cosma, and Yves Saint Laurent to name a few.

The art direction and display for, “Ties That Bind(less)” is a collaboration of Michael Little of NOA Gallery, and Michael Joyner of First Street Style.
