Christopher Kane’s Brains
Style.com explained the starting point of Christopher Kane’s latest collection: “an MRI of a healthy human brain, pulsing with consciousness.” It’s beyond obvious, but it’s also beyond brilliant. Not sure there’s a single piece I wouldn’t be happy to adopt into my closet. I’ve divided up my favorite looks from his show into the central … Read more

Revamp That Denim Shirt!
I’m really off my DIY game, but luckily I’ve cataloged a laundry list of projects to try once I have the time. Since many of them involve buttondown shirts, I figured I would post some ideas for sprucing that chambray (or chambrays, as I myself have several).

Inspired By: Boardwalk Empire
“They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don’t know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn … Read more
