While walking from SoHo to my first presentation of New York Fashion Week I ran into Ricky. When he got off the horn, he showed me his new Frank151 book & a photo in his notebook of him and Joe Namath. And of course a shot of his home office.
Casey Egan was a pro surfer back in Australia and competed with the best of them. Here in the shity by the bay, he still surfs just about every week. He is also responsible for the new Levi’s EXgirlfriend jean. A jean for fellas who want that skinnyjean rockstar look. I wanted to shoot his look yesterday, it was pretty much the same thing but he had on this black denim vest with a black lace shooting patch on the shoulder!
I was waiting for my party at the clock in the main lobby of Grand Central Terminal yesterday and saw 4 men in short pants. Two looked like they had come in from Greenwich to hit the Downtown Athletic Club wearing camelhair overcoats, one looked like he was just a jock and then there was Jay. I had to talk to him…What a brilliant man, listen to his story.
Bought this coat at a sample sale. Every few years I'll get seduced at some private sample sale. Im not talking about the vacant stores on broadway or in soho that have signs taped in window and idiots handing out flyers on the streets sample sale. I mean, a designer or brand or dealer inviting up their friends and family and serve drinks while people chit chat. In this case, the fella makes coats for stores like Paul Stuart and said it looked great on me… While it did, it was also a size big on me. I hate guys in tight coats, but I dont feel comfortable in an oversized one myself… This one has a swing vent or whatever its called. The pockets are lined for game… similar to the game pocket on a Barbour. Also has leather buttons that extend from the hand warmer pockets to the flap pocket for after you've shot something. Pure elegance to say the least. Im happy I have friends like Bob that are just that much larger than myself.
Digging through my archives I found this photo I made a year or two ago. He wasnt exactly in-or-out of style then, and is just as fly now- so I thought to post since Im longing for the streets of The Gotham City.
