While some critics argue that Raf Simons has been running out of ideas and reissuing clothing from old collections, I say that the Belgian designer's fall/winter 2011 was one of his most interesting and striking collections in a while. I was initially shocked at first, but eventually came to appreciate the cozy yet bold nature of this season's offerings. One piece that stands out to me is this hooded sweatshirt. It features a padded and strictly tailored body, giving it a boxy silhouette that is a breath of fresh air in menswear today. Buy it here, while it lasts. (all picture from there as well)

Bill Cunningham - 10/22/11

Your's truly with the man himself, Bill Cunningham.

Firstly, let me apologize for not posting since August. School and my job have kept me very busy but I am determined to write more often from now on. Now to get down to business....

I was fortunate enough to be photographed by the legendary Bill Cunningham outside the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show this Saturday. His humble nature and seasoned sense of humor made for a few minutes of enjoyable conversation about my purchase that day (a Dior Homme dress shirt from s/s 2002 - more to come on this in a future post). 

Jacket - Vintage from Another Man's Treasure / Shirt -  Vintage from 10 ft. Single by Stella Dallas / Jeans - Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche by Hedi Slimane
