Kristian Fashion Sensibility

Two weeks ago, as I was walking to the bus stop, I was approached by the San Francisco Chronicle photographer, Mike Kepka. He writes the style column for the Sunday edition of the newspaper. 

Struck by my debonair attitude, Kepka took a few shots of me and asked my opinion on style. 

“We are surrounded by a sea of ill-fitting suits” was the best quote that I could come up with at the time. But its true. Out here in San Francisco its the Wild West.

Fine tailoring is an art form.

This kickstarter project is looking to document the evolution of tailoring in Naples, Italy over the last 70 years.

If you enjoy fashion and want to support the arts make your pledge now.

 A little bit of Italy goes a long way.

wow.

Fun to watch.

SF Fashion Week (Who knew?)

Today I’ll be hitting up a runway show tonight in sleepy San Francisco in celebration of San Francisco Fashion Week.

This should be interesting because I only have NYC Fashion Week for comparison purposes. Will this be on par? What should I be expecting?

Just like everyone else in this town - I will go to this with an open-mind. Should be fun though - however, I do not think there will be any mens fashion designers in the show, so I’ll be forced to watch beautiful, leggy women strutting down the catwalk instead of hunky dudes. Oh well, life could be worse.

Duncan Quinn: Extraordinaire Me

Today was my first day working with Duncan over at Duncan Quinn. My job description and what I am doing to help out with at the store are a closely guarded secret. Alas, I can tell you that I will be helping in both the front and backend of business operations.

Its been a great last two weeks getting to know the shop and figuring out how the business works properly (or at least trying to figure it all out). Soon I will be a master tailor (or at least good at measuring inseams).

Not sure which days I will be at the shop, but please come by if you happen to be in Nolita/Soho. The address is 8 Spring Street.

The clothes here rock and the DQ brand is blowing up. Many cool events, launches and ideas coming out of the joint. We will have a new sunglasses line coming out in the next month - details to follow.

There are two other stores in the US, one in Miami and one in Los Angeles. Check it.
