Adam Christopher | New York: February 2010

See You At The Crossroads...

The indelible man that was... Robert Johnson is a story as American as apple pie... He not only influenced everyone from Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones to Public Enemy, this man is recognized as influencing Rock N' Roll above and beyond... Legend has it that he made a deal with devil himself.. If that's not Rock N' Roll then I don't know what is. From the blues on the fields of the south to the streets of the north... This man is the original rebel and voice that cries out from the bottom to break the norms on the top... I don't care if it's rock n' roll, punk, ska, hip hop, or what have you... It all stems from somewhere... The raspy soul of America's repressed south has played inspiration to the minds of many... Whether you're in working class Liverpool or the South Boogie Down... Robert Johnson has played a part in the fervor of the underlying edge and rebellion that we all love in music and style that says what it means and does what it wants...

Classic Inspiration | The 400 Blows

The original and one of Truffaut's best works... The 400 Blows... The young rebel will always be an icon!

Quality Goods | Rising Sun & Co.

One of the finest purveyors of indigo and quality goods... Rising Sun & Co.... Located in Pasadena, California... Some of the coolest classic denim and workwear pieces in all the U.S. of A... This one's for all my denim-heads and work-wear Americana fiends... Enjoy and if you have the chance to visit Pasadena definitely stop by!

The Kilt | Rebel Revisted

Hopefully we’ll see more kilts like this one seen here being worn by Pelayo this season… One can only think of the memory of Alexander McQueen at the moment… While I like to associate some breathe of cool within it to a personal favorite: Trainspotting. This look will be shunned by most and is only for the brave at heart… No pun intended. Reminds me of the 90’s punk, grunge aesthetic due to the fabrics and in some ways it brings Daniel Day Lewis to mind… Of course it will be seen more and more on the street and the runway and when the subject of absurdity or functionality are brought up one might think of the bad asses who kicked heads in for turf and honor ages ago weathering one. Hence the kilt and look to me are one of heritage and rebellion… Feeling the rebel spirit more and more these days…

“One must know the rules in order to break them.” – Who knows!

Style | Luca Rubinacci

This photo taken by Scott Schuman at Pitti Uomo recently and posted today is one of the best displays of Italian style that I have seen in a while... Luca Rubinacci seen here, isn't just a supremely styled man but he's also the son of one Italy's best tailors. The pops of color and the classic patterns seen here with the jewelry that add a young almost bohemian touch to this look are on point... Notice the slight pop of Luca's argyle socks and how they stand out against the other colorways that work seamlessly in unison... That's one of the best things that Italian men do so well... The subtle small details that pop so well. From the pocket square to the hat... This look is flawless and one of the things that I love about Italian style... Not too stuffy... It's fun and unique to the individual when done right.

PS... I said "POP" three times in this post!

God Bless McQueen

One of the most innovative and inspirational designers of our time... Alexander McQueen will be missed.

Destruction Equals Creation

A fresh new collection of shirts that I found in Paris at Rendez-Vous via London: Destruction is Creation.

Friedrich Gray | Dislocation TS3 AW/2010

One of my favorite designer's currently hailing from Australia within the past few seasons... Friedrich Gray is a rising star... Check out the stand out online store and blog, For-Tomorrow, while AW/2010 sets to deliver quite soon. I'm looking forward to visiting Syndey this May and attending RAFW... With so much talent down under currently Friedrich Gray is one show that I will be sure not to miss.

Rad Hourani A/W 2010 Preview

I'm missing Rad's show this Monday due to having to attend Vegas shows... This will have to do for now.

Highly Anticipated: Odyn Vovk

One of my most anticipated shows to attend this season for fashion week, Odyn Vovk, an up and coming collection heralding in the next movement in menswear, designed by Austin Sherbaneko... From what I saw in Paris while viewing the collection at Occulter Group, Odyn Vovk's shapes, proportions and whole overall theme and mood speak volumes with it's edgy non-conformist style. Along the lines and in the same sphere as other great designers such as Julius, Friedrich Gray, Damir Doma, Attachment and more, look for Odyn Vovk to play a big part in the future of progressive menswear.
