It never fails to amaze me what people will do to keep a fashion business afloat. On the upside, New York and London are lucky to be hosting all this creativity- why doesn’t it exist in Paris, which feeds on foreign talent, or Milan? One thing about New York is a lot of the design tends to very homogenous, which is disappointing- everyone seems to think in lockstep. Of all the burgeoning New York labels, my money’s on Proenza Schouler.

Costello/Tagliapietra are prime examples of New York designers “stuck in a rut”. They need to evolve their collections. Watch out boys, here comes Halston.

I have to tell you I went gaga for the Bill Amberg for Dunhill collection a few years back (the sand colored Motorities line). It was my avenue to becoming a fan of the brand that previously only meant humidors, sterling bulldog cufflinks and Gosford Park references. Being so enamored of the one collection by that seasons guest author left me wanting more Dunhill that related to my life and my view of now, so I’m thrilled thrilled thrilled to hear about Kim Jones appointment. His shows are appealing and fascinating, to my view he has a cohesive vision of menswear he believes in. The news blasted layers of dust from the Dunhill nameplate in my mind, the all but forgotten brand that has nearly zero presence in the US, they sadly had to close all but one store, so I have great expectations. I don’t know what aspects of Mulberry and Vuitton he participated in and would be fascinated to know, if only to speculate on or mentally namecheck the kinds of aesthetics that could populate the forthcoming accessories.
