Men's Fall ‘07 From John Blasioli’s a broken spoke

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Fri, Aug 24 at 1:48 PM

As I’ve mentioned previously, Liza Rietz and John Blasioli have opened a store together, and the grand opening is coming up: Friday, August 31st, 5-8 pm, at 2305 NW Savier. John just sent me some photos of his latest work on his menswear line, a broken spoke—I love them! I had to post them all up here to show everyone. This is exactly what I think menswear should be, interesting design with looking ridiculous or effeminate (although I also love effeminate menswear looks on certain types, it’s clear why so many men feel like men’s fashion is emasculating). But here’s my dilemma: I need to pick one of these to print in the paper and I can’t decide. What do you think?

I dig that Plaid thing.

I dunno how plaid would look in newsprint... But the plaid one is most def my favorite.

The plaid one is my favorite also, but I think the blue trench will read better in print.
