Waiting for the Sun on Moda Operandi

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Moda Operandi is the baddest kid on the block. It is the dream team of the fashion world, with such talents as Lauren Santo-Domingo and Taylor Tomasi-Hill. These ladies have taste, offering the best of the collections on their e-commerce site way before they hit the stores. When Moda Operandi gives its blessing to a fashion line, you know its gotta be good.

The W/Sun team draws on classic styles for their designs, but uses rosewood and bamboo as opposed to the traditional metal and plastic. The wood ads character and has the unique benefit of improving with age by responding to the user’s wear. Of course, the fact that they are young cute french boys doesn’t hurt either.

One of our favorites is the 19.6Gs style, inspired by the iconic glasses of John Lennon. These guys are perfect for the upcoming festival season and radiate 1960s cool. Made from Rosewood, they are available in vintage black and natural and feature UV400 protection. Check them out below.


Moda Operandi is offering a preview and opportunity to buy the collection. But act quickly, it’s only available until Wednesday May 2nd at 11pm, that’s just 2 days!

Robert Geller’s Impossibly Cool Fall 2012 Collection

Monday, February 13th, 2012

 

Robert Geller’s Collection for Fall 2012 represents an excercise in The Impossible Cool, as celebrated on the blog with the same name. The impossbly cool man is one who is polished but not perfect, who celebrates the classic cut but with a modern twist, and who always, always makes it look good.

Against the backdrop of a dirt runway, Geller showed his collection of punk inspired classic british tailoring. The clothes had an emphasis on layering and volume with capelets draped over elongated shirts and raincoats that followed an a-line. Above all, he captured the rugged put-togetherness of The Impossible Cool.
