Streetwear: Coming to a Suburb (Nordstrom) Near You

 

Video: Nordstrom.

The somewhat ironic reappropriation of ‘street clothes’ by department stores might be the best and worst thing to happen to high-income, McMansion-toting suburban neighborhoods since Alpha DogActually, maybe even Justin Timberlake in totallity. I’m looking at you, SoCal Bros. But I mean, hey if you can go to Macy’s for pair of low-sagging, white-stitched True’s with a straight face, more power to you, just not sure how much street cred that $49.99 comes with, or what that even means in Bellevue Square, WA.

That being said, never before has such a large-scale trickle down retail occurrence happened as high-end (re: ‘high-end’), hood (re: ‘hood’), or just really fucking cool as Nordstrom’s Heartbreaker’s Club.

Swatches of watches is what’s on the mind of Jack Spade, as the trusted brand introduces its inaugural timepiece collection this March.  And just in time, too, cause the pale of our wrists was beginning to edge on quite noticeable.  Within the whopping thirty-seven piece collection, you’ll find a surplus of design including sport, dress, pillow tank, dual time zone, and an irreverent graphic series.  Essentially, selection is not something they’re skimping on here.  The self-proclaimed “watch fanatics” over at Jack Spade chose two aesthetic directions for the collection: One elevated — think 1970s sports watches — and the other graphic entry-level, with the brand’s typical satirical undertone announcing that the watches have “no jewels,” and are “not Swiss” made.  The more refined watches, showcasing Swiss movements and sapphire crystal, feature a movement developed specifically for Jack Space that can tell an alternative time zone with its fourth sweep hand.  The collection, priced between $98 and $528, launches March 1st in the brand’s US stores and jackspade.com along with retail partners Nordstrom and Barney’s New York.  A first look at the collection…
