THE BOLD ISSUE
INTRODUCTION
In celebration of all things brave and beautiful, Reiss brings you ‘The Bold Issue’ of our seasonal Journal. This autumn we are dedicating ourselves to the fashions, the places and the people that stand out from the crowd. From vivid colour, to strong shapes, autumn fashions favour the brave and we’ve explored them all in our leading fashion stories. Sarah Harris explains how accessories are a maximalists best friend whilst Angelo Flaccavento tells us how to turn it up a notch when it comes to strong, smart styling. New York has long been the home of the bold and nevermore so than right now, Adam Welch explains why New York City is currently such a stylish epicentre. Lastly, we are excited to unveil a project that has been keeping us busy: Reiss’ new fragrances for men and women. Emma Smith follows the creation of these striking new scents and discovers the magic behind their making. Welcome.

L ooking shar p and su p er - groomed re q uires flair , p ersonality and little else Blame it on Calvin Klein’s skills as a global communicator. The cast of assorted hipsters that accompanied the worldwide launch, in the mid90s, of unisex perfume cK One perfectly expressed the grungy spirit of a decade and the sexual haziness of the post-recession era, turning it into something desirable. Dressing down became right and dressing up was synonymous with passé. The fact that grungy scruffiness required just as much time and effort to be successfully achieved, not to mention a well-manicured get-up, was just a funny, and telling, side-effect. This is all now beginning to fade into recent history.
trousers – give jeans a rest, please – a bunch of faultless shirts, uncluttered shoes, and that’s it. Not that much: all very modular, with a stress on quality; less, but better, as the Dutch industrial designer Dieter Rams used to say. It’s the blink-and-you’llmiss-them details that make the difference: a fullybuttoned shirt with no tie, for instance, or cuffs kept undone; replacing the pocket square with a pen, or appearing sans socks. It’s up to you. The overall effect should be light and breezy. Which, of course, requires all the elements to be trimmed to perfection: an extra centimetre here or there can be really make or break. Because, you know, a wellgroomed man should aspire to leave a lasting impression by making sure that no single element is in too sharp a focus. You want to be remembered as a person, not an outfit, right?
For the first time since the 50s and 60s, dressing well in the proper sense has regained hipster status (the 80s were all about fashion with no taste, so that’s another story). Fashion, and popular culture in fact, hails the return to properness. The neatlyattired protagonists of the American TV series Mad Men, splendidly sharp in their boxy jackets, peg-leg trousers, pork pie hats and skinny ties, look much more appealing today than the lazy, jeansand-beanie-clad characters made popular 20 or so years ago by Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place. Colin Firth in Tom Ford’s A Single Man, bespectacled, sharply pressed and utterly precise even while confronting the wildest interior turmoil, is another template of evolved masculinity well worth considering. The message is clear: while the world goes astray, gentleness and appropriateness finally appear, to discerning eyes, for what they really are: revolutionary qualities. Dressing properly, achieving a sharp and well-groomed appearance, is about fashion just as much as it is about ethics. A neat suit and a composed demeanour are an expression of respect, both for oneself and for others. They show confidence, inner strength and wit, too: qualities that have helped the human species to survive and prosper for aeons.
I t ’ s the ‘bl in k-and - you’l l- mi s s ’ detai ls that make the d i fference We’re finally getting to the point. The supergroomed look is not about catching the eye. The arch-dandy Beau Brummell always used to say that if you get noticed on the street, then you’ve failed. Which, of course, is a bit funny nowadays, as dressing properly, when so few do, invariably makes you stand out in the crowd. But overdressing is just as devilishly faulty as underdressing. Looking like you’ve tried too hard is never elegant. This is why those Mad Men or the fantastic Peter Sellers come to mind: they are epitomes of subtle appropriateness, but always with a twist. A deliberate element of error, something that strikes the balance a little off-chord, is what makes things properly fresh right now, even at the peak of tailored precision. Appropriate and ready for all occasions, today’s well-groomed man is inherently different from our fathers and grandfathers. He knows what is around the corner, and is ready to confront it. Elegantly.
A neat suit and a co mp o se d demeanor are an exp re s sion of re sp ect

He writes for Fantastic Man, and the German and Russian editions of GQ Style. Angelo owns an extensive collection of bow-ties, each of which he claims to have worn, at least once.
In the current climate, conspicuous consumption seems somehow inappropriate, which makes the restraint inherent to a well-groomed look all the more considered. Looking sharp and super-groomed requires flair and personality and little else: a superbly cut suit or three, some equally well turned out combinations of trim blazers and tailored

the clothes. It’s never about being the “most commercial” with Reiss. It’s about being unique and standing out from the crowd.’
Nothing is quite so distinctive as the way we smell. It’s personal, part of who we are, and a statement to the outside world that can easily affect the way we are perceived. Christian Dior once said ‘a woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting’ – can it be true?

Psychological attachment aside, the image and identity a fragrance represents are paramount to anyone choosing a scent. Fashion houses have long understood this, applying the principle to their own scents. Coco Chanel famously did it. So did Paul Poiret – in fact, he did it first, exactly a century ago this year – and fashion houses large and small have followed suit ever since.

The Reiss woman is modern before anything else: she is sleek and, most importantly, unique. And Grey Flower is certainly all of those things. ‘We wanted something that was sexy and luxurious, but that still had a fashion forward edge,’ says Azzi. ‘It had to be a fragrance where the florals weren’t overwhelming, focusing instead on the richer seductive notes at the heart of the scent. We weren’t looking to follow a trend necessarily; we wanted to stand out.’ It’s this fine balance of woodier musky notes that set it apart from the usual mass brand offerings, where sweet florals tend to dominate. And these days no woman wants to smell like anyone else. Azzi also explains that the process of finding the right blend was a lengthy one. ‘There was a real desire for something different and unique. We all knew instantly when we had found it.’ The name Grey Flower perfectly encapsulates this original take on floral, evoking an image of a mysterious, modern flower.
An alluring , grown- up f ragrance So it should come as no surprise that in the year that marks its 40th anniversary, Reiss introduces its own fragrances: Black Oudh for men and Grey Flower for women. Working with the celebrated perfumer Azzi Glasser, the brain and ‘nose’ behind such bighitting scents as Agent Provocateur and a collaborator with Alexander McQueen and Jean Patou, Reiss set out to create the very best scents they could. Azzi’s brief was to fashion fragrances that encapsulated the brand. Easier said than done. ‘I studied the brand and the thing that hit me most was the attention to detail,’ says Azzi. ‘It’s a creative brand, and that clearly shows in the tailoring of

FRAGRANCE
For a modern scent to be successful, it has to have reach: what appeals to perfume aficionados in one country must somehow simultaneously appeal to others elsewhere. The Middle Eastern market, for example, is passionate about fragrance. Men consider scent to be just as integral to their life as women do – and they are never shy of how much they wear. By contrast, the Japanese customer shies away from smelling too ‘overtly’ of perfume and considers it an affront to the senses of those around him. The challenge these days for any international brand is to find a fragrance that appeals to every sensibility, every nationality.
Meanwhile Reiss’ blend of black oudh perfectly balances the depth of the resin with the lighter scent of vetiver, creating a wearable, not overbearing, yet unique scent. Handpicking the finest ingredients was an important part of the process. Aromatic notes of cypress and laurel add further interest to this alluring, grown-up fragrance. What better way to represent a brand that appeals to a modern sense of style? Two original fragrances that never leave you feeling as though you smell the same as others, while being universally appealing just the same. It’s a perfect oxymoron Emma Smith is beauty director of ELLE magazine. When it comes to her own perfume, Ms Smith is very particular, preferring to smell delicious at all times. She lives with her boyfriend in leafy Surrey.

By focusing on oudh, a woody evergreen tree resin that’s causing quite a stir at the moment, the Reiss men’s fragrance has its finger firmly on the pulse reverberating through the perfume world. Oudh is traditionally popular in the Middle East and is associated in the Far East with incense. A yet to be launched niche fragrance house is charging £490 a bottle for a scent which centres around the heady notes of black oudh. It has already sold out of its stock, before it is even available – a perfect demonstration of the ingredient’s covetability.

W omen need a p oint of accessory to lust after Huge wide-brimmed hats, stonking great big architectural pendants, gilt-framed glossy crocodile handbags, tortoiseshell minaudieres, envelope clutches, tan leather elbow-length gloves, hinged belts, bejewelled cuffs, black rose felt headpieces, knee-high boots – the list goes on. And that was just at one show (Lanvin, since you ask). This season, be in no doubt, accessories play a starring role.
you’ll be wearing your silk blouse unbuttoned and plunging, and therefore you’ll need to dress your décolletage accordingly. In case I lost you back there, yes, chokers are making a comeback. But banish all memories of Princess Diana-style cameos-on-a-ribbon-of-black-velvet and focus instead on bold, jewelled, graphic styles.
Perhaps it has something to do with fashion’s new minimalism. Ultimate desirability now comes in the shape of the modest tunic, the unassuming shift dress and the classic polo neck, which goes some way to explain the latest eruption of ‘added extras’. Because where else can we play out and satisfy our creative urges? This season’s clean lines – and women in general – require accessories. And, of course, that’s nothing new.
for thi s sea son’ s tux re du x you ’l l require a tro phy minaud iere for an e lement of fri vol it y and femininit y What’s more, accessories are also an easy way to buy into a trend without making a wholehearted commitment. Inspired by this season’s fetishism? How about a wide waist cincher, or a pair of black leather gloves for a taster? Inclined to try the 40s look? A ladylike handbag and felt fedora is enough of a hint to the era without looking too costume. While the Native American look is best played out not via a one-size-fits-all poncho (one word: overwhelming), but via a pair of suede boots, and a side-swinging leather satchel.
Ac ces sories are also an ea sy way to buy into a trend without mak ing a wholehearte d commitment
To offer a brief history, way back when, before the economic slump, ‘It’ bags – the modern phenomenon that started in 1997 with Fendi’s famed Baguette and climaxed with Marc Jacobs’ Stam in 2006 – garnered waiting lists as long as your toteladen arm. Then, recession hit and the hysteria of the £1000-and-something handbag quietened down. Suddenly, amidst the meltdown of the global financial system, it didn’t feel right swinging so much cash from your forearm. But to focus on the feet instead, well, that seemed okay (fashion doesn’t claim to be logical), and so, for the same eyewatering prices, attention shifted to shoes: all-out vertigo-inducing, fantasy heels. Balenciaga’s Legolike sandals? Why not? we thought. Chanel’s pistolheeled pumps? Sure, bring them on. McQueen’s prehistoric ‘claw’ shoes? Heck, we’ll give them a go. And so we did (if only in Vogue’s fashion cupboard). But no matter whether it’s bags or shoes, women have a need for accessories to lust after. It’s in our DNA.
Our appetite for accessorises is such that recent seasons have even ushered in a host of newfangled ideas, from detachable Peter Pan-style collars to fingertip rings and beyond. Who knew we needed such delights? All of which begs another question: whatever next? No doubt somebody, somewhere, is already working on it. Sarah Harris is fashion feature writer at British Vogue. She lives with her husband, Alfie, and nineyear old labrador Winston, in a house that they (bar Winston) built from scratch in Notting Hill.
And so for this season’s tux redux you’ll require black patent stiletto heels (to show you mean business), a trophy minaudiere (for an element of frivolity and femininity) and a statement choker, because

T he city that ne v er slee p s has ne v er seemed more ali v e , or full of p ossibilities
Hordes of impeccably dressed Manhattanites jostled excitedly through Soho, some hurrying after Kanye West, who was strolling down West Broadway, others gathering round Alice Temperley, who was handing out popsicles on the corner of Prince Street. A stone’s throw from Central Park, Viktor & Rolf had ensconced themselves in a bed at Saks Fifth Avenue. Uptown, Oscar de la Renta was crooning tunes with a salsa band. This was last September and the second outing of Anna Wintour’s shopping initiative, Fashion’s Night Out, a one-night extravaganza that, in Wintour’s own words, has ‘built community amongst designers and retailers… and brought together all aspects of American culture and arts.’ The message that night was clear: there’s no other city where fashion matters more than it does in the Big Apple.
Issue have opened the back door on a glossy world of fittings, photo shoots, galas and editorial takedowns, creating legions of would-be Vogue interns and making stars out of NY fashion insiders such as Grace Coddington and André Leon Talley. Williamsburg has become notorious, via its constant stream of new musical talent, as the hipster capital of the world. Meanwhile, Gossip Girl has provided a manifesto for Uptown style, and given Chanel a rare American muse in Blake Lively, who became the face of the Parisian brand’s Mademoiselle line earlier this year. And let’s not forget Gaga. Whether you find her meat dresses and pointy shoulders laughable or ingenious, she’s brought fashion into the public eye in a big way, and brought some of the industry’s biggest talents along for the ride. As V Magazine’s Stephen Gan said last September, when launching his celebratory New York issue, ‘Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion... We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the new back in New York.’
The excitement surrounding fashion in New York has of course been pumped up by pop culture’s current obsession with the city and its style. Films like The Devil Wears Prada and The September

But it’s not just magazines, pop music and TV fantasy that have spread the New York look worldwide. In fact, its vibrant community of peerless fashion bloggers has perhaps been even more important. ‘New York is leading the way in digital innovation,’ says Brian Phillips, whose PR agency Black Frame represents buzzed designers including Rodarte and Band of Outsiders. ‘Creatives working here are tapped into a powerful nexus of communication technology and the energy of the street.’
into your own personal style has become much easier.’ Add to this the rise of the New York fashion designer – Alexander Wang, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony (who, like Marc Jacobs before them, have been tapped by Paris for their expertise and are set to take over as creative directors of Kenzo this year), Proenza Schouler and Thom Browne – and the picture of a city excelling in all things style emerges.
Chief among these innovators are street-style bloggers such as Scott Schuman, the founder of The Sartorialist and Tommy Ton of Jak and Jil, both of whom have neatly proven that New York is just as good-looking on the ground as it is in the movies. Todd Selby (of The Selby) has gone further, entering into the homes of NY tastemakers and transplants including Glenn O’Brien and Julia Restoin Roitfeld (Carine’s daughter). The clean, unaffected and appealing images of these and other bloggers have formed an aesthetic that has become endlessly recycled and emulated – Lanvin’s spring 2011 men’s campaign, for example, featured full-length shots of models walking through blurry, softly coloured New York streets – as well as a source of inspiration for fashion enthusiasts all over the world. ‘Blogs have made it so that a girl in Singapore, Cape Town, Sydney, or wherever, can have fun finding inspiration in photos of girls looking quintessentially New York,’ says Phil Oh, the founder of hugely popular street style blog Streetpeeper. ‘With fashion brands finally embracing e-commerce,’ he adds, ‘emulating those looks or at least fusing a bit of New York
‘New Yor k i s a me lting pot of d i fferent cu ltures, p er sonalitie s and creativit y.

To really experience New York style you have to be there, drinking in the sights and sounds of this shopper’s paradise. As brands such as Reiss – which has had a presence in New York for five years and opens a new substantial New York retail point in Bloomingdales this September – continue to invest in the city that never sleeps, it’s never seemed more alive, or full of possibilities. When not scouring ebay for kitschy trinkets, Adam Welch is the editor of Wonderland Magazine, a lurid style and pop culture journal for men and women. He also contributes regularly to the style pages of The Independent.

What better way to celebrate such a milestone birthday than to demonstrate what our forty years have taught us? At Reiss, quality, detail and the processes of making are firm cornerstones. So we’ve taken these values to their furthest conclusion in designs that are extra special. The 40 pieces that make up our 40th Birthday Editions Collection are a fanfair to luxurious materials and skilled handmaking. Take, for example, the acres of billowing fine silk that makes up the MAELEE dress or the masses of hand-sewn, encrusted beading on the RILEY jumpsuit.
IVANKA, belted fur coat.
The long-length, super soft, alpaca LILAC coat is a sure investment piece. Gentlemen don’t mss out either, with pieces like the MAYFAIR shirt made from the finest fine Italian poplin, the TRENCH is made from butter-soft napa leather and a heavy English cloth was custom made in the UK, for the very dapper 3 piece suit; WILLOW. Each 40th Collection design is something extraordinary: luxurious, timeless, super-covetable – the ultimate Reiss product. Because the 40th Birthday Editions are limited to just a few hundred pieces per design you’ll have to act quickly to secure your heirloom purchase. Look out for the Editions swing tickets in store from September. Or the rails around which the crowds are gathering. HAYLE, brogue detail shoe.
40th Birthday Editions are available from these Reiss stores: London; Selfridges, Barrett St, Market Place, Kings Road, White City. UK; Bluewater, Shambles Manchester, Leeds. Global; Tsvetnoy Moscow, New York Bleecker Street, West Broadway, and also online; www.reissonline.com.

59th street BAG
This August Reiss is opening in Bloomingdale’s iconic New York store (read more about it over the page). And in celebration of an increased presence in America’s foremost style city we are launching the gorgeous 59th STREET bag. Made from emerald green watersnake, the 59th STREET is an ode to the individuality and glamour that makes New York such an exciting city. Limited numbers are available, so look out for the 59th STREET Bag in stores from September.
OLIVA PALERMO
We love to see our clothes worn by stylish people and at Spy we keep a close eye on which famous faces are Reiss fans. Olivia Palermo, we can all agree, knows a thing or two about fashion and as one of the globe’s ‘best dressed’ we are thrilled to see she favours Reiss. Olivia is, of course, one step ahead of the crowds in working our BIRKIN kick flare jeans – autumn’s must-have trouser. You can get yours in-store now.

You may have heard already, but in 2012 London will be hosting the Olympics. That means the city’s East End, and Stratford in particular, the location for all things Olympian, is the place to be. Determined to be in the thick of it, Reiss is opening a new store in the Westfield Stratford City Mall in September. We hope to see you there.
graZIA MENTORING SCHEME
GUEST StYLIST Reiss’ ongoing Guest Stylist project sees us fling open our (wardrobe) doors and invite the best stylists to interpret our new collections. The results – which we post online – are always exciting. The project is a rolling one so remember to check out our blog for the latest new season stylistic adventures. But, to whet your appetite, here is a selection of the best so far:
GUEST STYLIST STORE NEWS
Hong Kong
Rejoice the women of Hong Kong! A new 1500 square foot Reiss womenswear store will be opening this November in the IFC luxury shopping mall. It is the latest in our international expansion that has seen shiny new stores open in St Petersberg and Moscow.
Over the past six months Reiss has been involved in a mentoring project with London charity Kids Company and Grazia magazine. Four twentysomethings, all interested in careers in fashion, joined the decks at Reiss where they embarked on an opportunity of a lifetime: working on fashion’s front line. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Allie, Cosar, Jo’el and Mary, who each got the chance to see how the different departments of a fashion brand like ours function, gaining valuable experience. The four have been keeping diaries throughout and you can see them here: www. graziadaily.co.uk/MentorTheKids. Kids Company was founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh in 1996 and provides practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city youngsters.

Talented photographer and illustrator Garance Doré is the encapsulation of Parisian chic and so we were thrilled when the opportunity to collaborate with her arose. We should thank ELLE magazine who initiated a project that saw Garance design an illustration for us. We put the stylish motif onto a Reiss T-shirt that ELLE then distributed with their July issue. We hope this is the first of such collaborations. Keep checking in to our blog to read about future projects.projects. Photography by: Scott Shuman.

MOST DESIRED The SIX key pieces for men and women to see you safely through from summer to autumn REISS U.S. NEWS
REISS AT BLOOMINGDALE’S AUGUST SEES THE OPENING OF OUR CONCESSION IN THE ICONIC NEW YORK STORE
MENSWEAR
BEAUMONT
You can’t do the new ‘dressed-up’ without a formal shoe. BEAUMONT mixes plain and grained leather for added interest.
What could be a more iconic symbol of New York as the stylish shopper’s mecca than Bloomingdale’s? For almost 140 years this legendary store has been a beacon to the sartorially savvy, welcoming native New Yorkers, and no small number of pilgrim tourists, through its doors. Bloomingdale’s has built a reputation as a curator of fine things and a retailer par excellence, which is why Reiss is extremely excited to be opening a new concession within the store. ‘Our shoppers return because of the emphasis on distinctive products, available only at, or first at, Bloomingdale’s, together with a passionate focus on creating special customer services for, and building lasting relationships with, our clientele,’ says Frank Doroff, Bloomingdale’s Vice Chairman and DMM for Ready to Wear. ‘We believe that Reiss and Bloomingdale’s share the same commitment to our customers. And that is to deliver
innovative and original products that are trend appropriate and high quality.’ The Reiss concession launches in August and promises to be a pivotal location for the brand. What could be better, we say, than two retail innovators coming together in partnership to please the style hunters of New York?
– Bloomingdale’s is at 59th Street & Lexington Avenue and 1000 Third Avenue, New York www.bloomingdales.com
Kengal
Wax cotton, belted: your perfect foil to blustery days.

WOMENSWEAR
Kyle
A mid-weight cover-up with a little more structure than your everyday cardigan.
Raina
Clean, strong and refreshing. This dress shouts ‘new season’. Style over a jean, dress or match with the trouser for that colour block trend for AW11.
MAGNOLIA coat
This gorgeous, floor-sweeping alpaca coat is the quintessential investment piece. Wear it for years to come.
JACOB
Colour pops come in every form this autumn. Including knitwear.
RICHMOND
Dana
An adjustable strap means the RICHMOND can be worn short and on your shoulder or satchel-style long. Rarely is something so stylish so functional too.
Knitwear doesn’t get anymore luxurious than this. A chunky hand knit jumper with contemporary cable pattern will keep you warm and on trend throughout the chillier months.
Bishopsgate
This mohair suit is the classic all-rounder and a sound new season investment.
jessica maxi
PARIS
Pleated, maxi length print. Need we say more?
These cropped trousers are bold enough to work on their own, with some statment knitwear maybe, or as part of a suit with the TARAL jacket.

What could be better than a city break that is spilling over with luxury and indulgence? Take, first of all, your accommodation; two nights stay at the newly opened St Pancras hotel, currently London’s most celebrated hotel. There you will find a Chamber Suite, complete with butler service, waiting for you. After you have explored the sumptuous interiors of the St Pancras we’d suggest you hot foot it to our personal shopping suite where you will be helped with the task of wisely spending £1000 on the new Reiss Autumn/Winter collections. And, once attired in your new wardrobe, well, the city is your playground. After years of devoted restoration, the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is being hailed as London’s most romantic building. Its glorious Gothic Revival metalwork, gold leaf ceilings, hand-stenciled wall designs and a jaw-dropping grand staircase are as dazzling now as the day the hotel opened in 1873.Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott to receive travelers through St Pancras Station, the former Midland Grand Hotel offered its guests a world of grandeur, and fantasy behind its fairytale red façade. Today the hotel remains dedicated to those same ambitions and we take great pleasure in transporting our guests into another world of luxury and pleasure. www.StPancrasRenaissance.co.uk Competition entry must be made online at: www.reissonline.com/competition All entries must be received by September 30th Terms and conditions apply. 55
