INSTANTOLOGY - URBAN TAILORING FOR URBAN GENTS

Ji Il-Geun launched Instantology in 2008 under the motto “Urban Tailoring for Urban Gents”.

 Heavily inspired by old school collegiate prep the SS14 collection brings a great selection of printed blazers.

See the full look book of SS 2014 here which brings color, pattern, and sophisticated prep with a creative twist.  Striped socks, blazers adorned in florals, polka dots, pinstripes, checks, palm trees and more. The outfits are happily colorful and are often matched with bright ties, white shorts, pants and shoes. It reminds me of a young and foolish school boy– say Angus Young from AC/DC

GANT RUGGER PRE-SPRING 2014 - TRAVELING THE ORIENT

 

GANT Rugger's all-American boy takes a trip to the restored Orient Express for their pre-spring 2014 collection outing. Transforming American sportswear pieces with an injection of Italian flamboyance

and Scandinavian simplicity, their aesthetic hits a new stride with an extra punch, the tuxedo jacket is enlisted in an Italian silk paisley finish while the army green jacket is transformed with an all over zebra print lining. In between staples such as the lightweight travel coat and hooded sweatshirt. GANT Rugger defines a new arena for their fundamental styles. (text & pictures via The Fashionisto)

GANT RUGGER - JE SUIS AMERICAINE

 

The GANT Rugger Pre Fall 13 adds some military touches to your wardrobe. In this case a friendly version, look at the camo print made of penguins. My personal favo is the flight jacket with blanket lining.
