Thanks to my good friend Sean who used to work at Uniqlo back when it was a smaller store on Broome Street in SoHo and fresh from Japan, I have know all about the inexpensive quality items that came from the store. It seems however; that in recent years Uniqlo has stepped it up a notch and has began working with bigger name designers. The latest collaboration comes from Jil Sander, know for her minimalist designs and her label by the same name. The +J collection will consist of 40 menswear pieces with nothing costing more than $200. The line will use materials such as cotton poplins, woven wools, and tweeds in a very minimal way, very true to the jil sander aesthetic. I will definitely be checking out this collection when it drops in the fall of this year. Who doesn’t want high fashion for less?.

Brand Shout : +J Collection by Jil Sander for Uniqlo

Domenico "Mimmo" Spano
I'm very interested in the whole street-wear culture. But another aspect of fashion that I will always go back to and be interested in (Thanks to my near decade long subscription to GQ), is classic men's style. The whole tailored look will never go out of style and will always garner respect. In the clip above Domenico "Mimmo" Spano, Saks Fifth Avenue's suiting guru, gives his take on the current state of men's fashion as well as what he thinks are essential to every man's wardrobe. May I also add that Mr. Spano dresses EXACTLY how I want to dress when I get to his age. His style is definitely Cool Table Approved!
