a behind the scenes look of the SS11 Gant by Michael Bastian collection for NYFW.

NYFW street style by NY Latte

new york fashion week has come to an end and the collections for spring 2011 invite us to look forward to spring. however, most of us (myself included) are still fixed on fall fashion. 

so for those of you who are on the same boat as i am, here's a treat by the folks from ny latte. during the 8 days of NYFW spring 2011, ny latte has captured snap shots of street style in video format. much love to ny latte for pleasuring us with the different kinds of fall fashion by the wonderful people of new york fashion week.

be sure to check out the other 6 videos (and photos) of NYFW street style at www.nylatte.com

BILLY REID

a couple months ago i saw this video on billy reid, winner of GQ/CFDA 2010 best new american menswear designer. the video is by the one and only jake davis and it gives great insight into the mind of billy reid.



in addition, here's a video of billy reid's spring 2011 collection:

Gant by Michael Bastian Spring 2011

among the standouts of spring 2011 RTW, some of my favorite pieces come from Gant's spring 2011 men's collection. michael bastian has yet again delivered another great collection following a very impresive showing for Gant fall 2010.

(yes, that's a shawl blazer on him!)

seriously, bringing michael bastian on board has definitely revived one of america's great menswear brands. what a great move by Gant to collaborate with michael bastian once again to make more sweet preppy fashion. oh, not to mention, Gant's first women's line!

greaser revival

stumbled on steelmachines about a minute ago and came across some great scans from the editorial post, the united state, for GQ UK S/S 09.

as much as i enjoy timeless classic americana or the ivy league loook, i think it would be really refreshing for a greaser revival.
