Looking to Frank’s pre-fall pieces and his most recent collection revealed on Friday evening, Tell has officially tapped into exactly what his good-looking-bad-girl demographic wants. He knows they desire wearable daily items that can easily be done up to become a showstopping outfit for the evening. As if he had a checklist for each collection, this season’s list included: Croc-stamped lambskins and suedes, funnel necked silhouettes accentuating the skinny, dangling buckles, perfectly placed grommets, and a slew of heftily wrangled knits. The mod-mindset he spoke of in his designer statement appeared in his palette of baby blues, tans and nudes, and an especially ashy slate gray. One of the highlights this season was undoubtedly Tell’s choice of male model Martin Cohn who walked second down the runway. Others included his Star Trek-inspired wedges courtesy of Raphael Young and jewelery picks by Pamela Love. Overall, the tribal-future fest was a perfect concoction of toned-down eccentricities fit for the downtown-via-uptown sets. Find more pics here.

Somewhere in between Oliver Twist and 70’s rock star, I’ve honed a look that’s often shocking to the onlooker. I refuse to be confined within the lines of menswear. To make sense of it all, look to those I’m influenced by: there’s Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler, Bowie, Janet and Michael, Prince, Amadeus, Jesus, pimps, beggars and stoners – confusing enough? All androgynous in their own right, they’ve inspired my every facet...I feel like my second mother was Miss Janet [Jackson]. I have her to thank for my appreciation of all things hip-hop and R&B. I’ve been deemed the 'little white boy that could' due to the fact. I’m currently studying Design and Management (with a concentration in fashion and pop culture) at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City and have interned for stylist Mel Ottenberg, Elle and V magazines, and PR firm Black Frame. My life goal is to become the next great fashion/music editor.
