macko’s picks AUTUMN / WINTER 2013 MENSWEAR TRENDS As far as the big Macro -Trends go, we are still seeing “Upper Casual” play an important role in the menswear market. This is strongly being driven by the concept of “One Closet” and the new man not having the traditional separate business/work and sport wardrobes, but one that is well edited and succinct, he has fewer, but better, things.

The place where men really are spending and having fun is with accessories and furnishings. The new emerging trend goes beyond, traditional pocket squares and cuff links. Men are now wearing bracelets, lapel pins and boutonnieres, colored shoe laces, silk scarves and ascots.

Finally I think the third biggest macro-trend is the influence of sport and technology into the gentleman’s wardrobe. Even in the realm of upper casual this becomes the concept of “Prada-gonia”, garments which providing more fabric technology and bells/ whistles than most men need, and are more likely to be seen hiking up Madison Avenue than a mountain.

BRAND BUZZ Barbour Barbour Partners with New Designers for AW13 - Barbour’s AW13 collection highlights include another season of the popular men’s Steve McQueen collaboration. Esteemed designer Patrick Grant also contributes to Barbour’s Beacon Heritage collection and knitwear offerings, respectively.

Hiltl

In today’s environment of business casual the subtleties of fine dressing are most often lost in the presentation.

Two European luxury classification suppliers recognized an opportunity to marry their products to create “sophisticated casual.” Hiltl and van Laack have, together, created a look book to demonstrate how luxury fabrics can be put together with sophisticated balanced silhouettes to produce apparel pairings that define a man’s ability to present himself as not another member of the “khaki crowd.”

IZOD/PVH Corp.

PVH Corp. announces new marketing partnerships for its IZOD brand with two PGA Tour players: two-time Tour winner Scott Piercy and fourth-year Tour pro Spencer Levin. As part of the agreements, Piercy and Levin will wear IZOD Golf apparel on course beginning in January 2013. They join reigning U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson as IZOD Golf ambassadors.

Johnstons of Elgin

Johnstons of Elgin has been granted The Royal Warrant of Appointment to The Prince of Wales with effect from 1st January 2013. Receiving this news immediately after the annual winter mill holidays, Group Managing Director, James Dracup, announced the appointment to a delighted workforce this week. Commenting on the news, Mr Dracup said: “We have worked for 5 years through the good offices of James Sugden OBE, the official Grantee, who, assisted by John Gillespie, has developed a number of very special tweeds for His Royal Highness.

BRAND BUZZ S. Cohen In 2013 S. Cohen Inc. will be celebrating its 90th anniversary. The company has been owned by the same family for four generations. Based in Montreal Canada, S. Cohen tailors high quality suits, jackets, coats and trousers, in its recently built, state of the art facility. The last few years have seen S. Cohen focus on developing the most unique and innovative custom program in the world. Retailers can order custom garments from hundreds of swatches through iMeasure, the firm’s proprietary web based interface, and have them delivered in 7 working days. Using Infinity Custom, a customer can send, through email, a unique image to be printed on the lining of their garment. New for 2013, Suitable Art will allow a customer to embroider their choice of artwork on the outside of the garment.

Tommy Bahama Tommy Bahama Marks the 20th Anniversary. Legendary lifestyle brand celebrates two decades by charting a course that includes new products, stores and global expansion.

Celebrating a major milestone, Tommy Bahama is marking the day twenty years ago when the company changed menswear forever and committed to their philosophy to “Make Life One Long Weekend™.” It was an idea with huge appeal that has turned into a very long weekend indeed and has inspired customers to relax for two decades.

Valstar Valstar is launching for AW13 a new capsule collection called THE VALSTAR LEATHER COUTURE. It is the merging of the high-class Neapolitan tailoring with Valstar leather tradition. These jackets are made with the most exclusives leathers and in a very limited production per year. They are made following rigid rules, entirely sewed by hand with no machines whatsoever. They are 100% hand made, with around 1600 stitches! We are probably the only outerwear company to be able to make outerwear pieces in leather by hand!

James Benton - Principal www.benwalkermen.com Booth 325 How would you define your collection? Describe the Ben Walker man?

Developing Ben Walker is like creating art. It’s an ongoing evolutionary process. Like an artist, you want to be true to your vision – as it becomes evidenced in reality. As for defining Ben Walker, in its current state, I think terms like rugged chic, intelligent design and rugged performance describe the Ben Walker Collection. The Ben Walker man is a no-nonsense guy who is looking to get the job done – he expects a solid, intelligent outerwear solution.

Which ‘must have’ item from your Fall/Winter 2013 collection will instantly update a man’s wardrobe?

A man can’t go wrong with our rugged carcoat, the Holte. Uber-rugged, sealseamed, waterproof, and styled with intuitive ergonomics, the Holte will get him through any weather and he’ll be looking somewhat stylish – almost by accident!

From where do you draw your inspiration?

To tell you the truth, I get inspiration from the grit & grind of fighting for

victory, fighting for success. How does this relate to Ben Walker? I feel like Ben Walker outerwear is armor for those like-minded men who take on all challengers as they seek out their destiny. Meanwhile, inspiration from a stylistic perspective comes in the form of looks akin to John Varvatos and Stone Island.

What do you consider to be the world’s best fashion city and why?

I found Paris to be pretty deep and accessible when it comes to men’s fashion. Also, I would say that Florence, Italy (during Pitti Uomo) is about the happeningest place around – and it’s not the collections, so much as it’s the people walking around – you kind of get to see tomorrow’s looks today; and certainly New York City is nothing to sneeze at.

How do you personally stay up-to-date with fashion?

From a product perspective, I check out opinion-leader retailers to see what’s trending. I also do a great deal of online surfing. Blogs can be very helpful too. Conversely, I have to stay up-to-date with myself. Does my wardrobe compliment me? Do I feel authentic in what I am portraying with my attire?

For me, fashion must answers these questions, too.

How do you spend your nights in Las Vegas after a long show day?

Wandering aimlessly through the Hotel waiting for tomorrow – I like to get to the booth super early – its where the winning is.

Frank Zins - Owner Patrizio Tognozzi - Agent www.zins.com Booth 260 How would you define your collection? Describe the Bernard Zins man.

How do you personally stay up-to-date with fashion?

Bernard Zins is a prestigious pant company from Paris with Family tradition and experiences. We have worked for the most prestigious Maisons de Couture (Hermès, Lanvin, Yves Saint-Laurent, Burberry,Yamamoto) and are now presenting exclusively the Bernard Zins line.

I personally stay up-to-date by using the Internet, traveling and my own curiosity.

Which “must-have” item from your Fall/Winter 2013 collection will instantly update a man’s wardrobe?

The new luxury BZV2 model with a fine traditional buckle on the back of the pant is a must-have. They bring back a retro look with a modern fit for a young and sophisticated consumer.

From where do you draw inspiration?

Inspiration comes from traveling and from the entire Bernard Zins team.

What do you consider to be the world’s best fashion city for men and why?

Paris, London, Milan,Tokyo and NYC. Paris for its sophistication and creativity; London for being so eccentric and daring to wear original combinations; Milan for the unparalleled ability to mix colors; NYC for the extraordinary energy and street look; and Tokyo - the new fashion city who knows how to interpret a new and contemporary look thanks to its ability in mixing Western fashion and history with Far Eastern culture.

How do you spend your nights in Las Vegas after a long show day?

Usually after a long day at the stand, I like a nice meal in my hotel room or otherwise at some cool new restaurant with my clients.

If you were not a designer or principal of this brand, what would you be doing?

Something that involves creativity, passion and to be able to share that with people.

Vince Gonzalez - Chief Marketing Officer www.cafebleu.us Booth 512 How would you define your collection? Describe the CaféBleu man.

The CafeBleu customer is a guy who has a strong sense of self. He wants to look good, is well put together and is not afraid to take chances with his wardrobe. He wants great quality that is usually found in hand-tailored garments that include handstitched details as well as nice accessories and treatments. During work hours he can wear a tie but at night remove the tie to fit right in the scene.

Which “must-have” item from your Fall/Winter 2013 collection will instantly update a man’s wardrobe?

Our must have items for Autumn/Winter are CafeBleu’s Bespoke Velvet Blazers.

They come in a wide range of colors all with contrast printed linings. They are topped off with European square buttons. The charcoal grey herringbone in our “Kasmir Velvet” has also been a grand slam! Our updated tuxedo shirts in bright colors and our gingham shirts with camouflage trims, stripes or checks with contrast collars are also great.

From where do you draw inspiration?

The inspiration for CafeBleu’s AW collection comes from streets, restaurants, and clubs. Primarily European cities like London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Florence, Berlin and Istanbul. I then “Americanize” it for our customer here in North America, so I guess it’s European with an American twist.

What do you consider to be the world’s best fashion city for men and why?

I am partial to what’s happening here in the states. Therefore, I would have to say New York City is the best city for fashion. New York is the financial capital of the world. You have businessmen, fashionistas, artists and even rappers. This allows for a truly unique and colorful melting pot of style.

How do you spend your nights in Las Vegas after a long show day?

In Vegas, I usually make the rounds of all of the stores CafeBleu is carried in. I like to meet the store personal and get feedback from them. I normally take a “power nap” before going out to dinner. I love the Cirque Du Soleil shows and I try to see a concert if there is someone good in town. Also, every show I get together one night with my buddies from New York; it’s a ritual. My favorite restaurants there are Strip Steak, Nobu, Sinatra’s, Pink Taco, Mr. Lucky’s and of course, In-NOut for a burger. Wherever I am in the world though, I begin my mornings at 5:30am, so I like to be in bed no later than midnight. That’s a ritual too!

Jonathan Radcliffe President, Sales - Level 8 Apparel www.tumi.com Booth 574 How would you define your collection? Describe the TUMI man.

How do you personally stay up-to-date with fashion?

The TUMI man is a business professional who enjoys travelling for work. He wears a suit, is travel savvy, and has a high-end taste level for his luggage and apparel. He appreciates both function and fashion in his outerwear.

I hate to admit it, but due to time limitations, I keep up-to-date with fashion via the internet. The flash sale websites are a great place to see what other brands are doing in all apparel categories. I check out the online fashion blogs as well, but I still have my print subscription to GQ magazine!

Which “must-have” item from your Fall/Winter 2013 collection will instantly update a man’s wardrobe?

This season the must-have item is our wrinkle resistant stretch comfort travel blazer. With a high-end Japanese 4 way stretch fabric, this blazer looks and feels expensive, not to mention the functionality of the garment while travelling.

From where do you draw inspiration?

We draw inspiration from TUMI luggage for their trademarked product technologies, as well as new technologies in Japanese fabrics; and fills such as the T98 Thermore fill which regulates your body to 98 degrees.

What do you consider to be the world’s best fashion city for men and why?

I feel that New York City is the best fashion city for men because there are so many different generations of styles and trends that there is never a lack of inspiration.

How do you spend your nights in Las Vegas after a long show day?

In Vegas after a long show day, all I really WANT to do is order room service and rent a movie that is still in theaters. But having a nice dinner with my team seems to always win out!

It’s most important to bond and relax while recounting the day’s events with them.

If you were not a designer or principal of this brand, what would you be doing?

If I wasn’t a principle of this brand, I would be travelling around the world hitting all the hottest fishing locations.
