    @Benn - I’m going to guess that the blazer is RL Black Label (this buy, I believe, is an RL sales rep, so it would follow…).

    Alas, I think I have to agree with AEV on this one and take issue with the collar - I’m not even sure where one would purchase such an eccentricity…

    The pants aren’t my cup of tea but there’s nothing technically “wrong” with them, so I have no quarrels there.

    Shoes, blazer, and Clubmasters are all on point.

    Does anyone have ANY ideas where this blazer is from? Amazing!


    AEV left a comment on 5/4/2012 at 10:13 AM:

    Solid look….minus the skinny jeans and Lagerfeld alien collar.

    Great shot F.E., top notch look, slim fitted to a ‘T.’ Glad to see something worth viewing again here, I’m going to take this as you’ve officially got settled in to the big city.

    Love those jeans. Not your ordinary dark denim.

    I’m a fan of denim in GTH shades. Everything else the gent sports is top-drawer. Loving the vintage Timex trend. Wish I’d held on to mine.

    This is inspiring me to purchase go-to-hell denim.

    Dress Code  

    Photographed in New York, NY (Columbia University)

    Noteworthy: this young Tennessean, through a program called Memphis PREP, spent his summers at Andover and Harvard before setting his sights on Columbia for undergrad. The program helps to overcome the challenge of diminished means with the recognition and nurturing of intellectual potential.

    Style  

    A couple of months ago, I headed back down to Boca Grande with Elizabeth McKay to create some images for their spring/summer collection. The youthful, luxury label boutique nestled on the Upper East Side is headed by creative director and founder Elizabeth McKay Jenkins. The collection is fun, pairing big bold prints and an inspired color palette with luxurious fabrics and classic lines. Visit elizabethmckay.com to view more of the photographs from the shoot as they drop in throughout the season.

    Is it my Spotify, or is something wrong with the playlist? Nothing appears for me.
