I like John Bartlett. Really like him. He generally puts forth a great collection of American sportswear for real, “everyday” American men, and has some fun while doing it. There is always something fun, quirky, and irreverent in his show. He didn’t let down with his Fall ’09 collection. John showed us chic pieces inspired by the depression era (very appropriate) with exaggerated tailoring and hulking models that looked like they would bust the seams. The show was fun, and while at points a bit impractical, it did exactly what a fashion show should do: inspire, lift the heart, and provide for some much needed distraction from reality. Thanks, John. A few of my fav looks from the show.
