    @BLJ—Unabashedly Prep has always, and will continue to be, my point of view. Not that of any of my advertisers or clients.

    @NPHAF…what he wants or what his spoonsors/employers want? I used to think I knew the answer….

    Haven’t you yet understood that Mr. Castleberry does what ever the f**k he wants?

  • Fashion Week Invitations

    Miscellany  

    New York fashion week invitations have started rolling in, not only by email, but by snail mail. In this day and age of evites, emails, and eCards, an event invitation delivered by the postal service speaks to an air of formality in what is now a society known for flaccid etiquette. I’d expect nothing less of the preppy designers showing at this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Two of my favorites—embossed pebble grain leather and heavy card-stock presented in a tabbed folding envelope—arrived from Tommy Hilfiger and Gant. And since an invitation takes two to tango, don’t forget to RSVP (whether accepting or declining).

  • Featured in Town & Country, Mar. 12

    Miscellany  

    The March issue of Town & Country is out on newsstands right now and includes a nice blurb about what I do here on Unabashedly Prep. Featured in a double page spread with me is my good chum Kiel James Patrick, Sarah Vickers, and Blair Brandt and Belton Baker of The Next Step Realty. You don’t have to pick up the magazine to read the feature (just click on the images to enlarge them), but the images of Olivia Wilde inside will make you reconsider.

    @kjp: My condolences, I’ve been there far too many times myself. Must’ve been quite the night before though!

    Nice. It’s almost as if you’re becoming this generation’s Slim Aarons.

    ** Can’t forget your good chum Tori Linder too. I’ll be famous too, just give it time. (I haven’t even hit my 20’s yet!)
     
    Congratulations Fred! So happy for you. Coming home to find the group in T&C last night made for quite the time. We’ll be sure to celebrate next time you find yourself on the island. You deserve it! xx T

    CZ Guest wrote in a scribbly-print style—a bit like Jacqueline Kennedy—and always in green ink—not in a ‘one too many Bloody Marys’ Palmer Method that is used in the note—but, great idea! I read of your site in the March T&C, and it is fantastic!—spending today going through your archives—-Bunky Cushing

    OH, and that’s design. Sometimes I type sp fast I don’t know what keys I’m hitting. Ooooops!

    @M Aurthur, I agree. This is a rule that not only is used for fashion, but all forms of Desing. Form Follows Funtion.

    Mr Lauren is quite the success story, and an inspiration.

    So true.

    Sidenote: What font is used for these little notes? I enjoy its use.
