Sock ‘em and Rock ‘em

Friday, January 13th, 2012

We can’t wait to share our latest addition to the showroom… introducing Etiquette Clothiers, the world’s most proper basics. Created in 2011 by marketing maven Benjamin G. Vergnion, the focus is on the essentials—socks, underwear and accessories made of the highest quality materials—for men and women. Traditions of Classic craftsmanship and artisanship can be seen in the finished product, with a focus on modern design. Etiquette begins with what you first put on each day. It’s the foundation of your everyday dress routine.

Need a little spring in your step? Nothing says fun like wearing bold patterned quality-driven socks. There are plenty of colors and patterns to add a little expression to your style.  Can’t decide? Go for a 2-pack with different but coordinating prints.

And if you’re not in the mood to rock the socks, how about Etiquette Clothiers’ Underwear. Good style starts from the inside out… why not begin with your “innerware”. Elevate the essentials and transform your daily uniform with these exceptionally soft cotton basics.

Following several inspiring collaborations with the Laundress New York, Abici Italy and artist Jonny Detiger among others, keep an eye out for Etiquette’s latest collab with Fiftytwo’s own Robert Geller.

Fiftytwo is launching the complete collection this month. Stop by and say hi!

Joseph Heardly for J. Sabatino A/W 11

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

We cannot help but keep re-playing Joseph Heardly’s film of J. Sabatino’s A/W 11 show, created for East Village Boys. The show itself was held in the Connelly Theatre and set to the music of a lone accordion player; the designs inspired by the “elegant nomad.” The film has the eerie simplicity of a black and white silent short and captures the nostalgia of the collection perfectly.

With & Wessel

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

With & Wessel is a new basics collection we are proud to be showcasing at Fiftytwo. The tees, tanks, and sweatshirts for men and women are cut in classic loungewear shapes but are all made of a unique lightweight Tasmanian merino wool. The wools developed by the company come in weights ranging from lightweight and sheer to a unique French terry. The company was started in Norway by creative director Cathrine Wessel’s grandparents in the 1930s. Wessel and her husband Stian Tolnaes used their backgrounds in fashion and photography and revived the brand, structuring the collection around easy eco-friendly layering pieces that are sure to become wardrobe staples.

Robert Geller at the CFDA Awards

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

After much anticipation and baited breath, the CFDA awards came and went last night and didn’t disappoint. The brilliant minds behind the fashion industry gathered together, along with the celebrities and muses who wear their designs with equal brilliance. Some of our favourite moments include Lady Gaga’s heartfelt speech, where she stated “Fashion made me feel like a star before I was,” Sofia Coppola presenting Marc Jacobs with his “Half-Lifetime” Achievement Award, and of course, our very own Robert Geller winning the Swarovski Award for Menswear. We are so happy for him, the award was well deserved!

What to Bring on your Memorial Weekend Getaway

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

It’s that time of year when summer feels like it has finally begun… people are starting to dig up their bathing suits and sunhats for a long weekend dedicated to picnicking, laying in the sun, and sipping on sangria. Whether you are going to the beach, driving out to the country, or lounging on a friend’s patio,  what better way to welcome summer than with some color?


Rosa Cha‘s wonderfully patterned bathing suits are the type of thing you can wear both to the beach and to the pool party that’s more about showing off your swimwear than actually swimming. You’ll be  certain to stand out in a suit like this one.

You never want to over-accessorize swimwear, but this bright, nature inspired ring by Rue will be the perfect compliment to any bathing suit.

If you are headed to the beach, throw this Marzia Genesi cover-up on over your swimsuit, the light blue will look great with a tan.


This Jaunt dress (left) is perfect for both a picnic in the park and a night out afterward. Dress it up with a Fiona Paxton Necklace (right) and you are set for the evening.

For the men (or women stealing their guy’s shirts), add some color with a  Baron Wells linen shirt.

This Charlott Vasberg carryall is just the right size for a change of clothes, a bottle of sunscreen, and a good book – what more could one need?
