sombreboite: Nickelson Wooster on Men’s Trend Fall 2011

10. Fire Island

“The thing that’s so insane about Fire Island is that it’s an hour and half away from Manhattan and when you’re there, it’s another world. There’s no cars. The first time I went was in 1987 and I’ve visited virtually every summer. It’s really quiet, it’s a great way to hang out—I’m there with my three closest friends. We cook, we go...

9. Burberry Prorsum Navy Military Jacket

“I’m wearing it right now, it’s like a cotton linen, really cropped, but it has five buttons in the front and there’s buttons all up the sleeve and it has epaulets. For me, it’s the perfect navy blazer for the spring. It’s from this current season, I bought it a month ago and I’m not taking it off. I just think a military jacket done this way has a ...

8. Raif Adelberg Cashmere Sweater

“We’re going to be adding a brand called Raif Adelberg—it’s the most amazing sweater I’ve ever seen in my life. When we saw these sweaters I was like, ‘Oh my fucking god.’ It’s a five pound cashmere sweater, and it’s handspun. He gets raw material, he spins the yarn himself, it’s not commercially-dyed, but the undyed ones are the most...

7. Fran Lebowitz, Metropolitan Life

“I’m obsessed with Fran Lebowitz. The book Metropolitan Life, which I believe she wrote in 1977, I read when I was a freshman in college in 1978 at the University of Kansas, and she totally changed my life. Like, I knew nothing about the inside joke, yet I totally understood that I had to live in New York, and I did in 1983 when I graduated and moved to New York. I think...

“When I lived in LA, this store Union carries Visvim and Hiroki Nakamura—I’m so obsessed with this guy, he’s the most amazing guy; he’s very obsessed with American culture. He’s a Japanese guy who creates these, you could say, iconic heritage menswear things. But his twist on them and what he does is so unique; it’s rare. The Union in L.A. and the Webster...

5. Rimowa Luggage

“It’s stainless steel, it’s German, it’s tough, and it’s cool. To me, it’s the coolest luggage. It’s really cool-looking and it’s really indestructible, and I travel all the time.”

4. Navy Orlebar Brown Bathing Suit

“You’re not going to photograph me in it for this season, but if it was last season, I would’ve been happy to take my clothes off. It’s a really great item, because it’s designed to be a pair of shorts that you can swim in. If you need to pack light—which I don’t—but if you are one of those types of people and if you find yourself—like when I used to live ...

3. All Things Mac

“I mean, I’m obsessed with a PowerBook and iPad and an iPhone. The phone is the most critical. I do Tumblr from it, I Tweet from it, and it goes in my pocket. I prefer a computer, but the reality is the iPhone is the worst function, but everything else is what really works well for it. I carry both a Blackberry and an iPhone. But for my job, the iPhone is essential, because of...

2. Church's Shanghai Shoes

“The Church’s Shanghai is a shoe that looks like you’ve had it since 1929. What they do is they create a replica of this English colonial shoe and it’s leather, it has a canvas insert in the center, it’s got a kiltie front, it’s a loafer, it’s battered and looks like you had it for a generation, but it’s brand new. It has a strap. I’m not...

1. Thom Browne Suit

“For spring, one of the concepts I did for Private Label is a matching shirt and tie. I’m really big on a matching shirt and tie. So we have some cool ones right now in the store and then, for fall, we have some things coming. So, like, a military khaki shirt with a khaki matching tie, or a blue oxford collar military shirt with a blue oxford collar military tie, and we have...
