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.

Macy’s is launching a men’s label called Thread & Heirs, which various fashion designers will guest design each season, copying what Target is doing for women. Ruffian designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais will create the first two capsule collections for the label for spring 2010 and fall 2010, inspired by Williamsburg with prices ranging from $24 for a T-shirt to $99 for a jacket.

Ruffian’s collection for Anthropologie is already being spotted in stores, a full month before it was supposed to launch!!! The style blogger of Effortless Anthropologie has already picked up a few pieces. You can check out looks after the jump.

I just spotted this Kooba Metallic Perforated Nelli Bag on Shopbop and it totally had me reminiscing about the Fall 2008 collections of some of my favorite indies.  The hard, cold metallic look with it’s industrial rivets reminded me of pieces spotted in Rag & Bone, Ruffian and Alexander Wang. You can check out the looks this bag would look great with below and then head over to Shopbop to pick up the bag on sale for $317.50.

Rag & Bone Gives Us Metallics

Alexander Wang gives us a black metal sheen

Ruffian shines up your Fall

Ruffian is taking over the back room at the Earnest Sewn store in the Meatpacking District. They will be selling their much sought after goods and installing a very worth checking out visual instillation with Anne Koch.

The theme: Boarding School Rebel.

No talks yet on whether Agyness will show up on opening day (she’s an avid fan of the brand) but there might be hopes to spot the over-exposed one at a party being held at Earnest Sewn to celebrate the opening. The parties on May 27th, which gives you ample time to shop for a pick up the perfect Ruffian outfit.
