Rock This Tie: Men in Cities + Neon Gold Records

In many ways, MenInCities, an e-commerce men’s lifestyle accessories brand, is the answered prayer for the man who doesn’t see himself walking into Bergdorf’s and shouting, “Show me the bracelets!” Don’t twist the reality though, cause this man being spoken of (Cuba Gooding Jr.?) certainly appreciates a bracelet, in fact, he wants a bracelet badly, maybe other accessories even, he just doesn’t know where to begin. Well, remember back in November when we told you about Yuvi Alpert’s MenInCities?  Consider this a necessary reminder.
Inspired by brands that have high quality craftsmanship but can be incorporated into everyday wear, the site offers ties, belts, money clips, pocket squares, pens, necklaces, flasks, and oh, even some cashmere warrior gloves, cause honestly, why not? The site offers a new collection of nine items released every month. Beyond that, the website offers a slew of unexpected collaborations with chefs, architects, and photographers.  Asked about his dream collaborations (“besides Bob Dylan?”) Alpert offered: “a meditation guru, a professor, a surfer, anything that introduces people to something new.”  In addition to a visual blog, the site offers — huzzah — how-to wear sketches.
Every single item on the site is priced at über-reasonable $39.99 (or you can sign up to become an Ambassador and receive everything for $29.99). We recommend: MenInCities + Neon Gold Records where Yuvi teamed up with Derek Davies, owner of Neon Gold Records (Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding) to create a capsule tie collection suiting for, well, the burgeoning star. яндекс

A Night Celebrating Calvin Klein Collection and Italo Zucchelli

Pitti is first and foremost about the collections, but also, the grand events. Last night was proof as such. Calvin Klein Collection hosted a private event full on party, in honor of the brands’ Men’s Creative Director, Italo Zucchelli, to celebrate his Fall 2013 runway show. The event was held at the Franco Parenti Theatre, a theatrical and music performance venue in Milan where Ellie Goulding, (who was, of course, wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection) kicked off her first live performance of the year. Ms. Goulding performed songs from her latest album, Halycon, which, by the way, the official “Halycon Days” tour kicks off in Miami, Florida on January 16th. Following her performance, Hercules and Love Affair, a musical project from New York, took to the stage and did their neo-house thing until the end of the evening. Among the editors and notables in attendance, those wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection included actor Justin Theroux and New York Giants’ Victor Cruz, both of whom also attended the show earlier that day. Additionally, photographer, blogger, and model Hanneli Mustaparta, who is a contributor to Calvin Klein’s official Tumblr® blog, was on hand to capture the event and wardrobed in Calvin Klein Collection. For the men’s runway show, Ms. Mustaparta posted insider and behind the scenes photos of the Fall 2013 collection on the brand’s Tumblr®. (You can click here—calvinklein.tumblr.com to view her exclusive images). We’ve got some golden ones from backstage fixture, Kevin Tachman. Right this way…
