ORLEBAR BROWN---ADDICTED

Besides the obvious reasons above, there are ONLY positives to Orlebar Brown. I first became familiar with the brand while in the Mens Editorial Department at VOGUE & immediately became addicted! Besides the bad ass prints, the brand has to have the most brilliant colors. I've started an addiction to color (officially not on me) & how it boosts the powers of black. Think Royal Blue & an Emerald Green. Anyways, fuck what you've known about shorts before. This is it & as stunning as it gets.

MONSTER IN THE MIRROR

I've seen this video a million times and can never get enough of it. An adrenaline raising video. A glimpse into the lives of thinkers, creatives while they give all that they have. Seriously...where would the world be without it. There grew a desire to watch interviews to understand individuals better. i, truly, believe that in order to create, lead or take any sort of risks---it takes a level of removal from fear and exposure. You jump in on a high and hope everyone understands. Greats like McQueen, Tisci and Christopher Nolan understand how to connect with their audiences, the people to whom they've made a promise. As I posted in a video earlier with Charlie Siem---you get an understanding of what sort of vow these men make to the people watching and they deliver. I can only hope that i can deliver what has been brewing in my mind and not shy away from it as it gets bigger.

An Ode to Perfection

i've always felt a connection to the male gender, the male psyche, male ambition & masculinity. It's the only language i've ever spoken and have ever wanted to perfect. So it doesn't hurt when you surround yourself w/ the boys, from work to music. If you've read this blog or have browsed posts since it's inception in 2008, then you know this far too well. Every step I take stems from the desire to make the brand stronger and bring what i've found regarding this man to light in menswear as no designer has. It pains me to wait longer as you can imagine the responses i've received regarding this 'MM story'. so in the meantime, before exposing anything further...i'll celebrate the greats who make this journey all the less painful...

as an ode to perfecting the MM story.....to love and ambition and the shit in between <3

CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW THE FILMS FOR THE MM BRAND in 2011! Guy Ritchie does an amazing job---but i couldnt help but look more than listen as i did with inception. Jude Law is more Dior than Dunhill in this ad.

THE WORLD IS WATCHING: MATT GUTMAN

People who believe that only smarts can get you ahead can be proven wrong, finally with fresh meat abc anchor Matt Gutman. If Obama hasn't taught you anything else (as a man, that is), you should know that the world is watching. Whether you're on the battlefields overseas, flying around the world for business trips or painting your next piece, all you've got to know is that dressing well will get people's attention. So far, the looks, the charm and the smarts of Matt Gutman have gotten my attention and probably your girlfriend's too :)
