Orlebar Brown, Purveyors of Awesome Men’s Swim Trunks, Launches a Women’s Collection

Lauren Sherman — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:15:11 +0000

The #menswear guys love London-based line Orlebar Brown for its expertly tailored, nattily fashioned swim trunks. (And in more recent years, t-shirts, polos, and khakis, too.) But up until last week, us ladies had to settle for buying the men’s version and cutting out the netting. Now that’s all changed (!) with the launch of Orlebar’s 15-piece womenswear collection, sold at Net a Porter, Barneys, Opening Ceremony, Harrods, and Montaigne Market in Paris. The line, which looks like something a ’60s-era Bond Girl would enjoy wearing, features sexy-but-simple bikinis and flattering board shorts.

I spoke with Orlebar Brown founder Adam Brown, who’s currently in Florence for Pitti Uomo, to learn more about the collection.

How Tech Startup Maker’s Row Is Revolutionizing American Manufacturing

Hayley Phelan — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:30:27 +0000

Founded by Matthew Burnett (a former watch designer), Tanya Menendez (a sociologist by training, who formerly worked at Goldman Sachs), and Scott Weiner (a tech wizard who’s been making websites and apps for years), Maker’s Row strives to make the manufacturing process easier for brands that want to produce in America. The company has a comprehensive database of suppliers specializing in everything from zippers to denim and sample-making to tooling; it allows users to easily search the list and even write reviews of suppliers. Basically, it’s like Yelp for designers and manufacturers. And it makes figuring out how to produce in the U.S. a whole lot easier.

We caught up with Burnett to chat about why he decided to start Maker’s Row, and how it’s working to help revolutionize the American manufacturing industry.

Men’s Wearhouse Founder Gets Canned, No Longer Able to Guarantee You’ll ‘Like the Way You Look’

Leah Chernikoff — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:35:42 +0000

Today is a sad day. Men’s Wearhouse founder and executive chairman George Zimmer has been fired. Yes, we’re talking about the “You’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it” guy.

But what of the fate of the Men’s Wearhouse commercials? Zimmer founded the company in 1975 and has starred in its commercials since 1985. Zimmer’s deep gravelly baritone and beard has, for most of us, become a mesmerizing, calming, middle-of-the-night TV binge watching phenomenon.

To pay homage/mourn, we’ve culled some of his best work, from 1985 to today. Enjoy:

To Discuss: Cher’s Dueling Wigs, Bondage Bustier on The Voice

Nora Crotty — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:16:02 +0000

Swaddled by a throng of thrusting, fist-pumping lady dancers, 67-year-old Cher hobbled around the stage for a full three minutes and 27 seconds to her new song “Woman’s World” while wearing parachute pants, a bondage-style bustier, several harnesses, a jacket covered in bathroom tiles, and a face from 30 years ago.

But the real perplexity lies in how Cher managed to stay so focused on the track’s complex lyrics throughout it all, what with that whole strobe lights situation, Adam Levine‘s striking good looks smizing at her from the audience, and two puppies play-fighting atop her non-aging head.

Nora’s Super Kawaii Instant Camera

Nora Crotty — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:00:51 +0000

I truly love my heavy duty digital camera, which I’ve lugged around with me for years now, building up my impressive biceps and blinding my friends with the ultra-bright flash in an effort to document every aspect of my fabulous life. But there’s just something about good ole’ fashion instant film that makes you wanna put all those extra pounds and megapixels on the back-burner, ya know?
