AMC and Banana Republic have announced a collaboration for the third season of the the most fashionable drama on TV, “Mad Men.”
“To celebrate the much anticipated third season of “Mad Men,” AMC and Banana Republic are launching a marketing partnership that will feature “Mad Men” in all of Banana Republic’s North American retail locations during the three weeks leading up to the season premiere on Sunday, August 16 at 10pm EST/CST. The campaign will mark the first time the national retailer has featured an original scripted drama series in-stores. The promotion will leverage the strength of both brands to cross-promote the upcoming season and showcase classic workplace fashion with a modern take from Banana Republic.”

I’ve noted the Superior Labor tote bags before on MD. Superior Labor is a gorgeous “americana” brand from Japan. J.Crew is now selling the engineer tote online for a mere $350. I’m trying to justify spending the cash on it, but keep coming back to the fact that I have a closet full of totes (thanks Jack Spade). On the other hand I just can’t stop thinking about it…and I know I’d get it if it were $100 cheaper with no question. Perhaps I’m being cheap…

Etro’s Spring 2010 show is beautiful (colorful as always), fun, and flirty. Yes, I used the term “flirty” to describe menswear. More on the show at men.style.com. I’m particularly loving the use of various tones of blue, the outerwear, and fun patterned pants.

Drew and I were at J.Crew yesterday, and I noticed that they’ve gone and written a book. It’s called What a Man Should Know. I love that they casually had it placed amidst the product. I love the simple, clean design and letterpress cover (but then letterpress gets me going any day.) And I love that they’ve summarzied what a man should know into quotes from men who have lived life well.
J.Crew described the book this way:
Our debut men’s guide by Max Blagg, featuring 50 essential principles (or minor refinements) for the way men live. Illustrated by Hugo Guinness, this helpful handbook is meant to infuse a little joie de vivre into the life of every man and take cocktail conversations to a whole new level.
Get one, now.

Thanks to The Sartorialist and this stylish man for showing us all how to pull of a white suit.

I’ve traditionally not been the biggest fan of D&G, but the Spring 2010 collection (Italy meets the wild-wild west) is definitely something I can get on board with. D&G shows a fantastic High / Low collection with luxe fabrics, chambray, and beautifully distressed denim. Oh…and the swimwear is pretty good too…
