Photos from the new Ruffian capsule collection for Macy’s have hit the web. It went something like this; striped polo, plaid shirt, striped shirt, basic jeans. Kind of like what you’d find at The Gap on any given Sunday. We’re not impressed.

The latest Trendspark is straight from the runways of Rick Owens, Julius-Garden, Boris Bidjan Saberi and other  avant-garde mens designers.

The look is basically the equivalent of walking out of your house with a blanket on. It will totally make you look like a Dementor ready to plauge the world of Hogwarts. Why anyone one would want to look like one of the Taliban’s bitches is beyond me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone attempted this come September fashion week. Watch for it, this Trendspark is closer than you think.

The Olsen twins have announched that they are launching a menswear collection under their label The Row and are determined to make the garments in the U.S.

“That’s our thing — an American brand made in America. When we looked in the men’s market, we couldn’t really find basics you could wear with designer — the same concept as our women’s. So we started the process with pants and blazers, because we knew it would take time to get that right.”

It’s never easy to find a menswear collection that pushes boundaries without alienating the general male population, but Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt’s label Anntian manages to introduce some new concepts into the mens market without being a complete conceptual shit storm. I find the collection by the Berlin duo designers to be perfect for the downtownie or the Burger who isn’t afraid of a little sheen with their shake.And yes, I covet the poncho. Me wantie now!!!
