As another cold day in the city left most of the audience in coats and boots, Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville sent their latest collection down the runway to the catchy mixings of Thom Yorke. As the beat throbbed at maximum volume, Rag & Bone’s men took to the runway in relaxed layers of wool and tweed that were fashion-forward, yet accessible for today’s market. Dressed in navy, burgundy, gray and forest green, the collection yielded a specific color palette, but embraced spontaneity with an onslaught of mix and match prints. Amongst camouflage, fairisyle and checks, plaid made a powerful impact, dressing elongated button-downs that doubled as personality-driven accessories. Meanwhile, leather piping and a playful use of texture gave way to one of Rag & Bone’s strongest collections to date. Altogether, crafting a unique vision for the season, Wainwright and Neville turned out a wonderful collection of dynamic separates, but also an excellent style guide with thanks to Vanessa Reid.

Another campaign image has surfaced from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Photographed by Juergen Teller, fresh new talent Briane Hatcher is joined by Jacobs’ favorite Lyle Lodwick. Captured in a remote location, the duo may appear reserved, but that does not distract from the colorful punch their clothes carry.

Rounding out the big three shows, New York Fashion Week is right around the corner and in preparation Red Model Management has given their fine crop of models the artist treatment courtesy of Frillr’s Fabien Montique. Boasting several of New York’s most familiar faces on the catwalk, Red is home to models like Salieu Jalloh and Lyle Lodwick. When not grooming promising talent like Jullien Herrera, Red is on the scene with dynamic models like Will Lewis or resident bad boys Tyler Riggs and Dan Felton. Regardless what show, Red is sure to make a strong impact come New York Fashion Week, which kicks off the end of next week.

As Lyle Lodwick would say, this month has been on fire, so here’s to our last moments…
Last thing you watched on TV…
Pee wee’s playhouse
Last artist you were listening to…

Last band gig…
