INSPIRED BY… | OSCAR BEST ACTOR NOMINEES 2012
The Oscars are that event everyone loves to hate. Despite this, I still have a soft spot for them. Call me old fashioned, but if you strip away all the hype, Joan rivers pre-shows, and gratuitous Brangelina close-ups, the Academy Awards are still the most sincere way America can celebrate one of our most beloved, … Read more

BKLYN DRY GOODS x MICHAEL MACKO AT MRKET
As two weeks of tradeshow coverage come to a close, I wanted to end with something exceptional. I found just that in this installation at MRket, one of the larger, more ‘old school’ tradeshows.

(CAPSULE) // BRAND HIGHLIGHT: TIMBERLAND
Probably one of the more surprising showings was from Timberland, yep, that Timberland. Looks like they’ve been changing their tune a bit with the entirely new workwear inspired line, Abington, and freshly revamped GT Scramble line up.

(CAPSULE) FEATURE // OVADIA & SONS
While there were many noteworthy collections at (capsule) this year, one name was on everyone’s “must see” list: Ovadia & Sons. After a strong showing at the S/S (capsule) last year, greatness was anticipated by many, and I think I speak for everyone when I say Ariel and Shimon exceeded expectations. I was fortunate that … Read more

This season (capsule) worked with Andrea Westerlind to curate Above Tree Line, a “show in show” which featuring outdoors brands including Outlier. Outlier is an NYC company that specializes in tailored clothing for the active urbanite. What does that mean? Essentially, clothing that will hold up as well on a bike or hiking trail as … Read more
