Grab Your Skis & Hockey Gear, NUMBER:Lab Will Bring the Rest
Edited by Amanda Gabriele
NUMBER:Lab garments are for men who want to look and feel great before, during and after the gym and beyond. Designer Luis Fernandez stayed true to well-tailored essentials and casual-cool sportswear in the Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Setting the mood with a hockey game on the ice rink outside The Standard, handsome garments in grey and navy were splashed with bright neon yellow, cobalt and purple accents. Nylon parkas and wool blazers were layered atop woven shirts and cotton trousers. Attendees were feisty and energetic as music from Depeche Mode, Air and Cut Copy filled the crowded room. Preppy but not stuffy, NUMBER:Lab had the sporty, sexy, low-maintenance gentleman in mind for F/W.
I’m usually such a brat about my music because I’m scared that if I tell people they’ll ruin it for me, but I CAN NOT get this out of my head. The band is called The Bird Day, and in the wake of bands like MGMT and Cut Copy, The Bird Day is coming through to perfect and conquer the indie music scene. They are a really new band, so a lot of their stuff is yet to hit the speakers for a lot of people, FOR NOW! I dare to you try and listen to the track “Feel My Blood” just once, it’s IMPOSSIBLE! So check out their stuff here, I’m guarenteeing an instant love, and be sure to tell your mom, brother, best friend, cousin and grandmother that The Bird Day is where it’s at!
