untitled Jazzi McG A/X Armani Exchange tank dress This is what I wore for some desert festivities last weekend, then again yesterday when it was about 75 and covering up just felt like sacrilege. The tank dress is another look from A/X Armani Exchange (thanks A/X!) and it’s perfectly barely-there in all the right places with a hint of shimmer that seemed impossibile to photograph, but totally does the glimmering-in-the-sunlight trick in reality. Having grown up in California, I’ve always been more into Spring/Summer dressing, when the clothes start coming off, than piling on layers. The final result of my Doctrine Jeans DIY @ Space15Twenty There comes a time in every young LA girl’s life when a contrarian declaration of “I’m not going to Coachella,” suddenly morphs into “I’m going to Coachella.” To mark that very likely transition in my own life as of… about 11pm last night, here’s my very festival friendly DIY from an event I hosted with Doctrine Jeans last week at Space15Twenty. 1. PS – Braids!
Men's Fashion blog by French Truckers - Part 3 The history of the biker jacket The biker jacket. A garment that oozes so much charisma, that you might decide it’s easier to avoid it completely. I haven’t got the shoulders for it, you tell yourself. The story started in 1913 with Irving and Jack Schott in the US. It wasn’t until the 1920s that the Schott Bros began to specialise in motorbike jackets. Business was booming for the Schott brothers, who had begun to outgrow their New York flat. From that moment onwards, leather companies began to produce jackets on a larger scale. The Perfecto remained relatively unknown during the Second World War, upstaged by the aviator jackets which were very much in the limelight. One such club was to become more notorious than the others. Schott brought out the first of the models which would later become legendary. The 1950s saw the birth of the 618. Marlon Brando in The Wild One In the 1950s, it was rare to see James Dean without his Perfecto biker jacket on. Sid Vicous, another big Perfecto fan
Gray Sneakers | Gilt MANual The one (and probably only) instance where it pays to take style advice from Larry David. Illustration: Jameson Simpson Larry David is many things: comedian, curmudgeon, champion of baldie rights. But the Curb Your Enthusiasm star is not generally considered an authority on style. My own infatuation began with the New Balance 996, a symphony of gray suede and mesh released in 1989, now tragically discontinued. Dirk Standen is editor in chief of Style.com.
