Hem and Haul: Arden Reed Custom Suit Piece I Wrote for Edge on the Net

Hey guys, check out my latest fashion feature for Edge on the Net. I wrote this profile of mobile custom suit makers, Arden Reed, which features a 3-d body scan and quick 15 minute single consultation all in the back of a truck. I interviewed the co-founder to see what his inspiration was and what's next for this exciting New York menswear brand

Prada Says Keep Your 3-D Glasses

You know those 3-D glasses ubiquitous at the glut of remakes and half bakes filling the theaters of late? 

Well, Prada says don't toss 'em, wear 'em 

Or at least that's what I see in these new men's Fall 2013 ads 

featuring movie men not models natch

Bonus HIPSTER smarties featured on this cute boy 

(I have no idea who is or what he's been in)

My Hudson Made Workwear Piece is LIVE

Part of my crazy busy of late is a new company I've started writing for, Hudson Made. Hudson Valley, New York based purveyors of rustic and artisinal items for men, home and life. 

This company sources great pieces locally and offers up a whole lifestyle built on the story of each piece. I had the good fortune to write my first article for them (which they loved!) about the history of workwear and its rightful place in modern fashion. 


Definitely give it a look-see

Rihanna Should "Stay" in Tom Ford According to the Designer

“OK, that’s Rihanna, and she’s going to her lawyer’s office in that all-black outfit and she’s hungover and that’s why she’s wearing those glasses. Yet she’s still a rock star,” Tom Ford explained to WWD

And while I cannot authenticate Rihanna was indeed hungover here, I love that the above quote in April 2013 was spot on. Rihanna would wear a sparkly, sequined zebra print gown with monkey fur standing collar on the every day 

And she's worn other wack-a-doo getups from the mixed reviewed recent Ford collections 

More black and white 

More cuckoo footwear (Forrest Gump wore them first)

But me thinks Rihanna might be "The Only Girl in the World" who can pull these looks off
