"When I started, I wanted to get as far away from the [well-known] outdoor aspect as possible, the hunting and fishing. Woolrich also has a long history of making for the U.S. military, and in the late fifties and early sixties, they had an Ivy League, preppy consumer collection, which not a lot of people know about. Basically, the collection that I did was a mishmash of classic U.S. navy garb and traditional Ivy League garb."
There is not a single collection I am more intrigued by than WWM F/W 2011 and I can't even imagine the craziness Mark has in store. But like, the always insightful and Daiki fanatic, Mister Crew said, "It has to be tasteful craziness if it's going to sell."

Since having grown up around Woolrich, I feel that getting away from the hunting and fishing aspect is getting away from Woolrich. Preppy collection from the sixties? It better be flannel-lined, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteMark McNairy isn't a designer, so this should be interesting
ReplyDeleteAnon - it would be more interesting if you fucked yourself.
ReplyDeletePersonsally, I would be more interested in seeing McNairy fuck anon
ReplyDeleteOw...harsh words, folks. I think MM has more design chops than we think. He's had an up and down career but I really think he'll shine (at least I hope so). I love DS as much as anyone but I don't know exactly how popular his WWM stuff was...you see an awful lot on eBay etc.
ReplyDeleteEither way that duffle's ace.
