Fashion’s Military Invasion Rolls On
As New York Fashion Week comes to an end, I’m thankful for another week of Olympic coverage to help fill the void left in my life. What, no more Runway Reports with sultry audio commentary courtesy of Cathy Horyn? Well, yes… but that doesn’t mean I have to give up. That said, I’m a big fan of military trends, such as field jackets, and especially fond of epaulets… as any friend of mine can attest to. So, I was happy to read Ruth La Ferla’s recent look into the fixation with uniforms in popular fashion, Fashion’s Military Invasion Rolls On, for the New York Times, especially on the heels of my last post.
Three military-inspired looks from Rag & Bone’s Spring 2010 line, below. For a slide show of Rag & Bone’s Fall 2010 line, click here. With looks like these, you can be sure that I’ll be stopping by Rag & Bone the next time I’m in New York. In the meantime, I’ll be dropping by Cherry Creek’s Lawrence Covell at 255 Steele Street to take a look at the few pieces starting to arrive now…
Rag & Bone Men's Spring 2010
The black piece at right is fabulous — I love the asymmetric cut of the hem, and the veer towards a more minimalist take on a military silhouette. It’s a perfect balance of severity and sensuality, actually, which is a quality I like in men’s clothing.
