I recently wrote a piece for The Paris Review on the (somewhat awkward, possibly short lived) marriage between literature and menswear. As I was researching it, I visited over fifteen stores that used books as props in their showrooms. I took pictures of all of them. The one above is from outside Jack Spade.

I’ve got mixed feeling about this whole Frank Muytjens J. Crew jacket. It’s a Dr. Zhivagoesque experiment that works out nicely. A little Barbour (the collar) and a little Jack Kennedy tying his boat to the dock. Kinda like it, but undecided. (Picture via New York Mag)

Fresh kicks: New Balance called on their retro roots (which are quite extensive, we imagine, since the company was founded in 1906) to design this vintage, toe-capped sneaker. Hoops, anyone? Canvas upper. Cotton terry lining. Sneaker inserts. Rubber sole with herringbone tread pattern. A Collector’s Item. USA. Catalog/jcrew.com only. (Via J Crew)
