“What Ralph Lauren does is brilliant. But it's a fantasy of being a Wasp or rich. I address these cliches. It's postmodern….”
So one of my favorite lines ever is Band of Outsiders. The founder Scott Sternberg is a former Hollywood agent that became sick of the clichés and started creating a line of classic men’s shirts and ties based on using great fabric and fits. Sternberg has steadily expanded his offerings and now produces a full men's line. In 2009 he was named menswear designer of the year by the CFDA. His line is all about taking classic clothing principles and garments and evolving them in a modern way. He also has a girl line called Boy by Band of Outsiders. You can find these fine garments on Barney's and some other stores around the US. Get into him because his stuff is genius.
