GREETINGS FROM MARIO
LOOK GOOD. FEEL WONDERFUL! Our goal is to make you feel wonderful when you are in our stores. It starts with a cheerful hello and a warm welcome. The magic happens as we get to know you better and our Style Advisors can share their passion for helping you find the perfect items to make an outfit or accessorize one. We also hope that anytime you’re shopping on our e-commerce site and having your selections gathered and reserved in one of our stores or sent to your home, we helped make your day. We love seeing you around town when you’re out living and enjoying your life, whether at a local restaurant, a soccer match, or at your favorite charity event, knowing that we have helped you look great and feel wonderful. This fall, as we savor the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we know that sometimes the world around us can get a bit chaotic. In the tradition my father started over 50 years ago, our entire staff aims to offer you a warm environment in which you can treat yourself to the gift of feeling special. We all look forward to seeing you this fall in our stores, and sharing our enthusiasm for our new collections and amazing finds.

Q
ASK MARIO
Lanvin
Are designer sneakers still an important trend? What else is new in men’s footwear? There is a growing interest in the importance of men’s footwear, with houses like Lanvin and Cucinelli giving sneakers an even greater focus. I love cleaner, streamlined sneaker styles that are getting more interesting with luxe materials like felted wool and embossed croc. Dress shoes are, of course, a mainstay of any gentleman’s wardrobe. Di Bianco offers the finest French hides with hand-burnished patinas. Santoni, Gravati and Bontoni are some of the other designers that are doing stunning contemporary twists and embellishements on traditional styles.
Ask
Men increasingly are looking for comfort, even when dressing up. Come see our stunning new offerings in “luxury casual.”
MARIO Q
For men who want to look stylish and put-together but insist on comfort, what’s your favorite go-to piece? Without a doubt, the soft sportcoat! There’s no better way to complete your look, whether you’re wearing jeans or dress pants. The gold standard in that category is Boglioli. They truly reinvented a classic garment in terms of fabric, fit and movement, keeping it all super elegant. We also have stunning soft sportcoats by some of our other favorite innovative designers, from Lanvin to Harris Wharf to Rosso. We have a great selection of fabrics too, including beautiful plaids, which are very big for fall.

Each designer collection offers a world-class selection of fabrics in every style, color, pattern and texture you could want, including a full range of high-performance to supremely luxurious fabrics.

VIONNET Founded in 1912 by revolutionary French designer Madeleine Vionnet, creator of the bias cut and “the queen of draping,” Vionnet became very successful in the 1920s, when its Paris atelier was known as the “Temple of Fashion.” Inspired by Greek art, Vionnet liberated the body from the corset, creating fluid garments that clung to the shape of the body. Goga Ashkenazi relaunched the company in 2012 and is committed to restoring this historic gem to its former glory.

IN AND AROUND OUR TOWNSFRIENDS OF MITCHELL STORES
WE’RE ALL ONE BIG COMMUNITY! SOME NEW (& NOT SO NEW) THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU’RE IN THE AREAS OF OUR 8 STORES…
SAN FRANCISCO, CA: SF MOMA After a three-year, multimilliondollar renovation, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art reopened to the public this spring. A 10-story addition, designed by Norwegian firm Snøhetta, more than doubles the exhibition space, offering the grand vision of “a meeting place where all can discover new inspiration and creativity, international in scope, but rooted in the Bay Area.” Noteworthy exhibitions include a world-class collection of Pop and Minimalist Art and The Alexander Calder “Motion Lab.”
62
PALO ALTO, CA: THE STANFORD THEATRE
SEATTLE, WA: YSL @ THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM
With a mission to bring back a Golden Age of Hollywood cinema experience, The Stanford Theatre, first opened in 1925, was stunningly restored in 1987. The theatre’s unique neoclassical Persian and Moorish architecture creates a lavish ambience. The theatre features an ongoing schedule of classic films projected in 35mm prints to bring back the magic of film.
One of Seattle’s main cultural institutions, The Seattle Art Museum, also includes an Asian Art Museum and the Olympic Scuplture Park on the Seattle waterfront. For fashion lovers, Yves Saint Laurent: Perfection of Style, running Oct. 11 to Jan. 16, 2017, showcases the designer’s extraordinary 44-year career through couture garments, accessories, photographs, films and drawings through his final runway collection in 2012.
PORTLAND, OR: ART MUSUEM & PINE ST. MARKET Founded in 1892, The Portland Art Museum has world-class collections, ranging from ancient Native American artifacts to its APEX series on Northwest-based artists. Also, check out the new Pine Street Market in the historic Baggage & Carriage Building. This food hall showcases Portland’s most innovative chefs and cuisine, from handmade Japanese noodles and Israeli Street Food to an homage to the American hot dog and coffee from one of the country’s top baristas.
IN AND AROUND OUR TOWNS
LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC: CULTURAL FOOD TOUR
1000 5TH AVE, NYC: DIANE ARBUS @ THE MET Art lovers won’t want to miss the Met’s exhibit Diane Arbus: In the Beginning. Arbus, regarded as one of society’s most provocative and influential artists, had a vision of using photography to give a glimpse into the world’s hidden secrets. Focusing on seven key years of her career, the show features over 100 photographs, many of which have never been seen before by the public. The exhibit runs until Nov. 27, 2016.
Food and history buffs will love a self-guided food tour of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the “endangered” Jewish immigrant neighborhood, undergoing rapid gentrification, famed for food establishments, many of which have been there over 100 years. Don’t miss: Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, Doughnut Plant, Russ and Daughters, Economy Candy, The Pickle Guys, Kisser’s Bialys and Bagels, and Katz’s Delicatessen, made famous in the film When Harry Met Sally.
WESTPORT, CT: THE COTTAGE
HUNTINGTON, NY: THE PARAMOUNT Opened in fall 2011, The Paramount, down the block from Mitchells of Huntington, has quickly established itself as a top live entertainment venue, hosting a robust calendar of concerts, comedy shows and more. The venue includes a dance floor, a “Skybar” and a Founder’s Club, where Billy Joel recently showed up unannounced for an improptu set. (See Chris Mitchell for details!)
Helmed by Brian Lewis, one of Connecticut’s top chefs, the cozy, aptly named The Cottage, serving locally sourced cuisine, has received unanimous raves, notably from The New York Times, which gushed “there were too many high points to mention them all.” Some worth mentioning include the crunchy tuna, brisket steam bun and beet salad appetizers, stinging nettle tortellini, salmon in cedar paper and pineapple rum tarte Tatin. Brunch is served, too!
