Attn: Mark McNairy Succeeds Daiki Suzuki At WWM
Both WWD and Woolrich have confirmed the exciting news that Mark McNairy will succeed his good friend Daiki Suzuki as the creative director of Woolrich Woolen Mills post S/S 2011. Where things go from here only Mark knows, but I couldn't be more excited for both him and Woolrich. I talked with Mark a little about his move a while back and he seemed extremely excited to be working for a company that will finally let him design the way he wants to - no more swimming against the current for one of American's most talented designers. A friend of mine even got a sneak peak at some of Mark's WWM sketches and apparently the stuff is bonkers. Congrats are surely due to Mark, his family and Woolrich.

I guess this explains his Twitter posts comparing his time at J. Press to the Vietnam war. Guy has no class.
ReplyDeleteAnd put some socks on. It's starting to get really corny.
Confuzzled? Confuzzled. It'll be interesting to see how his Ivy stamp effects the brand.
ReplyDeleteaffects.
ReplyDeleteboo. can't wait for the preppy trend to jump the shark. outdoor gear shouldn't be preppy, it should be rugged. buffalo check > digi-camo.
ReplyDelete@ the enthusiast... think i called this one a while ago!
ReplyDelete@ Anon 1:21: Yes, yes you did.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 12:40: While you're at it, consider a complete sentence before you drop a period. You hold me to standards, I hold you to the same.
MTV3 - Digi camo is about as preppy as a pair of black kenneth cole square toe slides.
ReplyDeleteI've got news for you - this whole rugged trend will disappear way before preppy ever does.
This has to be some of the most devastating news people have heard this year. Mark McNairy does not seem to be right man for this job. He is strictly a so called "preppy" designer and will not do well for WWM. At least we still have Engineered Garments.

ReplyDeleteGet some fucking perspective man.
The most intriguing news I've heard all week. It will be interesting to hear/read the buzz from the blogosphere on this.
ReplyDeleteRIP Woolrich, he must be a tool, he cant hold down a job at one place for very long!
ReplyDeleteI'll wait until the collection drops before passing judgment. It's sad to see Daiki go, but I like the New Amsterdam line, so I have nothing but good expectations from Mark.
