SOPHOMORE SPRING 2009
Another great lookbook from Sophomore, shot again by the amazing Cass Bird. A very solid set of photos featuring some friends and favorites and of course the well done basics of Sophomore. Check the rest out here. (via The State)
ALICE DELLAL
Alice Dellal has taken the fashion world by storm - due to her unique style and her rule-breaking presence. As the new face of Agent Provacateur, Dellal has graced the pages of Paris Vogue and was also featured in a recent MANGO Campaign. With her half shaved head and omnipresent nosering, Dellal filled me in on her favorite photographers (Diane Arbus…), her favorite places to shop (www.fetish.com) as well as her vices (ventolin inhalers et al….). By Yale Breslin.
JOSEPHINE DE LA BAUME
Hailed as an it girl with a distinct sense of style, Josephine de La Baume divides her time between New York and Paris and leaves her mark wherever she goes. Good friends with Harley Viera-Newton, de La Baume stands on her own as both an actress and style icon. Josephine fill us in on her love of Rick Owens, Diane Lane, and a good pair of colored socks.

JOEY GRAY OF HALF LIFE
Creative Director of Half Life clothing, Joey Gray started his line with one thought in mind: people tend to wear the same few things over and over again. He set out to create a collection of basic pieces based on “minimal construction fit, and comfort”. Mr. Gray was kind enough to let me in on his thought process - from conception to execution and everything in between. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you…..Half Life. By Yale Breslin.
RED JACKETS
You know my affection for red hats, which have seemed to catch on, and I have to admit I’m really feeling red, which I think work’s nicely as a jacket too. You also know my affection for Albam, and I’m really into their version (which also comes in an amazing electric green) which is a nice classic version of a windbreaker. I also like the more substantial Woolrich Woolen Mills version too (top right). There’s been a renaissance in buffalo check too, but I like these solid red ones. Either way I think a red jacket is a good way to have an interesting look, yet still maintain a classic feel.
INTRODUCING: DARK AYES
I’m really digging the first collection from Dark Ayes. I don’t know to much from the brand, but I think it is from The Czech Republic of all places. It seems to be mostly awesome progressive women’s fashion, but they do seem to make their amazing t-shirts in men’s sizes.
A NEW BREED OF MODELS
You know I’m a fan of Adam Kimmel’s deisgns and his past choices for models, and he does it again, but this time using older artists, actors and musicians. Amongst those featured in his lookbook are actor Dennis Hopper (top left) and artists Don Bachardy (top left), Larry Bell (bottom left) and Semina artist, Geroge Herms with his son (bottom right). I love that he uses “real people” for his lookbook.
GRANT WOOLHEAD, STYLIST
Stylist Grant Woolhead has had quite the career. After graduating from Central Saint Martins and working at The Face and Arena Homme Plus, Woolhead’s “modern classic” taste has landed him within the pages of Interview, Details and The New York Times. Filing me in on his most memorable shoot of his career and the best advice that has ever been passed his way, Woolhead is consistently making waves with tastemakers worldwide. Check out my conversation with Mr. Grant Woolhead himself below. By Yale Breslin.
MALKIEL BERRY OF COLETTE
As the PR director of Colette, Malkiel Berry is just 25 years old. Based in Paris, I knew I had to get a glimpse into the life of this young guy. I recently had the chance to chat with Malkiel about his role at Colette, what he learned at his previous stints at both Margiela and Pierre Hardy and what designers he has on his mind.
