Great Collars ~ Day 1 NYFW SS 12
Jared leaves his clubs tieless and I don’t mind it, very Mick Jagger.There’s something about an old gingham or micro check, or when it’s a poly blend. SO good.

The kind folks of Engineered Garments invited me to tour their store that opens later today at 307 W. 38th St. in a space that used to repair sewing machines will now sell their collection as well as Nepenthes and Needles. In fact, the old signage is still there. Not covered or painted over, yet anyhow…
Bossman/Founder of Nepenthes & Needles designer Keizo Shimizu. I need those socks!! Hanging the work of Carrie Housman & Darbury Stenderu The show is based on designs they have done for Nepenthes in the past. I know its a sneak preview but Im gonna delve in a lil here. No two of the fourteen fixtures around the store are alike. There is one made of rare pieces of wood, cant remember the name of the wood but the Japanese use it for chessboards. favourite shirt. Suits insane. Love it. Costumey, yes, but I'm stuck in the 70's in my head. Rabbit I think. Made from actual Woolrich blanket fabric! I know some fellas who'll love this long shirt. Myself included. & just a few standard shirts for a more regular kinda guy. In the photo before this, that club collared black striped shirt on the left is so insanely beautiful. Mark McNairy for Engineered Garments. Exclusive Shit. Leather & Suede! Trickers Monks!!!!! Old bandannas made into patchwork pocket squares. They have scarves as well! South2 West8 Dressing Room Vestibule Jewelry Yup, Engineered Garments poncho! All the buttons are different, and vintage! Lets just say pajamas, or my favorite things in the store. You may call them leggings, I call them longjohns! Feel that mohair! The crown jewel. So dope. More artwork waiting to be hung. Thank you much Angelo. That Nepenthes shirt is fire.
Look at this guys kit, the posture, the cadence, he’s groovy, you can clearly see he has the attention of a couple of young lovelies, maybe he’s a student of Robert Greene’s "The Art of Seduction" or he could be a natural, the wispy wet side-part of the hair hearkens on the character Jean-Louis from Eric Rohmer’s 1969 classic, “My Night at Maud’s”…the un-buttoned pleated barrel cuff even reveals a Buddhist prayer bead bracelet and a leather banded timepiece, so we’re convinced he’s a punctual moralist, but loose, possibly a YSL vintage find, freshly unfolded from years of storage, flossing a club (Cambridge) collar, a light sky blue, relaxed without a t-shirt or an a-frame undergarment, the blackberry can easily be swapped out as a card holder, 'magine…but what went wrong with the polyester trousers, when MisterMort first flashed me this set of pics, yet another candid moment captured from the man himself, i thought, here's a classic case of long arms with shallow pockets, when the talent is there, always remember to never short change yourself, notice the twenties popping from his change pouch, don't reveal your hand whoadie, it's in poor taste and so is the harsh clash of materials, i was expecting a light wool, maybe a gabardine or even a linen, pleated with a nice hardy and comfortable rise, nope, he's runnin' a heavy poly, i can see the thick 'hidden' seam and pil balls for days, even from this angle, and lemme find out that's a belled jean cut and some boots that were made for walking, but hey, you tell me, should he forget about the walkin' and just get to steppin'?
