Folk Spring/Summer 09

I was just thinking about this collection today before I saw this post on Selectism. This was one of the better Spring 09 collections I've seen in person and although these pictures are fun, they don't really do justice to the clothing. Folk is all about detail and quality of material. For example, this brown/yellow plaid shirt in the first picture here was probably one of my favorite pieces in all of Spring 09. Anyway, look forward to this collection when it hits in spring.

Denmark's Rene Gurskov's Men's line. He's been around for a few seasons, and this is one of his better collections as far as I can tell.

Halston, Warhol, and others at Studio 54

Never again would a night club be able to make a designer's name. A bit inspirational especially since fashion is so cyclical.

Barney's Fall 08 Catalog

I came home to find the Barney's Fall 08 catalog in my mail yesterday and flipped through it while having dinner (if an 11 pm meal counts as dinner). I have to admit, there was a twinge of excitement not only because it's fall, but because some of these looks are damn good. Besides his dog, a man's best friend can be his fashion. Here are some of my favorites:
