Feel Good Friday- Cole Haan & Friends

By

With Black Friday just a week away, it’s time to get shopping for the season and nothing makes us feel better about letting those Benjamin’s fly than when there is a good cause and craftsmanship involved.

Cole Haan partnered with up-and-coming fresh faces of today who are making good things happen to highlight what they are giving, getting and giddy about for the holidays. The Talented & Gifted campaign, lensed by Jake Chessum and styled by Joanne Blades, features Unlocking the Truth, a talented heavy metal band made up of three 7th Graders; filmmaker, dancer and choreographer Celia Rowlson-Hall alongside Broadway actor, Gregory Haney; Edward Song, owner and founder of the food truck Korilla BBQ which has reached cult­-status; young luminary Tavi Gevinson, founder and editor in chief of Rookie Magazine; actress and award-­‐winning playwright Danai Gurira; and coffee entrepreneur Cesar Vega of Café Integral. As you can see from the images, it is quite the cast of characters.

Hockerty releases Barcelona part II of fall/winter 2024

Hockerty on the street

Hockerty is one of the go-to menswear spots to get your own personalized and unique pieces. They embody an ethos that allows you to break out of the boxes the fashion industry has forced into you for too long. Instead of keeping up with the trends of an industry that doesn't even know you exist and trying to make what others love look good on you, they want to dress the real you by offering custom clothing. With them, you get to have the high-quality garments you love that look great and make you feel great. While fashion forces you into popular looks, style allows you to radiate in your look. That doesn't mean that Hockerty doesn't offer ideas and direction, which is what their 2024 lookbook does. The Hockerty Fall and Winter 2024 collection, Barcelona, gets a part two, and it embodies everything we love about our own belief that fashion is what you wear and style is how you wear it.
A fresh take on iconic style

Iconic menswear staples like field jackets, chinos, and straight-leg trousers are reimagined with a dynamic twist, balancing timeless tones like grays, blues, and browns with bold accents like cinnamon red and smoky pink. A curated layering selection revives mid-century charm (perfect for swapping your cold outdoor layers with warm indoor layers) using Oxford stripes and relaxed cotton polos that fit Don Draper to a T. At the same time, lightweight jackets with utility pockets lend a refined yet practical touch to your after-work drinks or weekend outings. The standouts of the collection are, without a doubt, the reddish brown three-piece suit, the navy velvet suit, and we couldn't overlook the red military jacket.

From Gucci to James Bond: The rise of the Tom Ford suit
Get your own suit good enough for 007
Tom Ford Gray Glenn Plaid

Very few things are better in a man's wardrobe than the right suit. So many of us feel that we look our best when we dress in a good suit. While there are plenty of other options when getting dressed, the suit just seems to be the pinnacle of style and elegance. Of course, there are some very good reasons for that. James Bond always dresses up in a suit and tie, and we always love to emulate the iconic 007.

One of the main reasons this new generation loves to emulate James Bond and his suits is Tom Ford, the legendary designer who was responsible for ensuring Daniel Craig lived up to the Bond aesthetic. But there was a long road from Tom Ford's beginnings to James Bond rocking a Tom Ford suit.
