Marcus Wainwright and David Neville do it again. They just opened up a store on Christopher Street, and what better way to get customers than a show of what they can expect. Started in 2002 because the designers couldn't find jeans worth buying, it has become a blend of high fashion and street wear. At any moment, one of their models could just walk off the runway to the streets, and be at home. I think that's what makes the brand so appealing.
Taking a cue from English rock, punk, and mod they have done a runway show full of leather, spikes, and extremely fitted clothing. The women had stringy hair and walked like they could take on the world. The men had pants that were sometimes tighter than the women's and had tailored suits to die for. My favorite pieces had to be every blazer or vest that came down the runway. I die for them and of course the neutral colors used allow them to fall into any outfit.
Likes: The metallic silvers and blues. Shiny & tight are suppose to look cheap, but Rag & Bone make it fashionable. The menswear for women theme was also very appealing for someone like me who does it everyday. Ooh & Lily Donaldson was to die for.
Dislikes: Lack of color range. One bright outfit could have made it to the runway.
Scary: The models. Some of the girls looked so edgy I thought they would pass out on the runway. Edgy = dark circles, ratty hair, and a "I am REALLY hungry look." I bet they were thinking about the last time that had anything with more than 200 calories. LOL
Rating: 8 out of 10. I love my menswear for women!
