“This print is our Spring-Summer 2011 landscape print, which will always have a special place in my heart. It still feels so true to who we are as a brand. Ongoing, I want to continue to express the Timo Weiland personality through artistic custom prints that are constantly evolving along with us.
For Spring-Summer 2012, we just started doing digital prints on fabrics (EXCITING STUFF) so the level of detail that can be achieved is exponentially higher, which means that we can do a lot more with and elaborate on each idea…”

Sourcing photos from an overseas subject for a magazine feature could be impervious and tough. Last week, I found nothing from Googling photos of John Kochis, a famous tie-maker of the bespoke kind in New York. (He’s that grey-haired guy above.) Yes, his number and address come out but not even an email or a photo diary surfaced. It was like he didn’t even exist.
So i finally dialed his number one day…
JOHN (with the impression of a grumpy old guy): YOU NEED PHOTOS?
ME: Yeah.
JOHN: I CAN’T HEAR YOU.
ME: Can I just get your email so we could communicate from there?
JOHN: SURE, WHAT’S YOUR EMAIL?
ME: (I recite scrupulously two of my email addresses in case he misses the other one).
JOHN: OKAY. BYE.
Hours later…
ME: You haven’t emailed me yet, John.
JOHN: I don’t have a computer around here.

The 25 Most Stylish Men On TV
Join our countdown already in progress at GQ.com, which will wrap up tomorrow with the top five. But in honor of tonight’s Parks and Recreation season finale, we share #8: Mr. Adam Scott. (See also our June 2011 magazine piece about Rashida Jones.) GQ’s Sean Fennessey makes the case for P&R’s hot-for-Knope Ben Wyatt…
Pawnee, Indiana is a podunk town. And yet, there are some impressively well-dressed men roaming the halls of the local government building. Ben Wyatt, the out-of-town fixer and budding paramour of Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope, is a simple man with deceptively hip taste. You can find him rocking check shirts and solid skinny ties (and vice versa) topped off with a modernized Member’s Only spring jacket or khaki blazer. Also, his hair has got some epic swoop going on. Sure, he’s a budget-slashing bureaucrat muckety-muck, but at least the man knows how to dress.
His stupid plaid doesn’t begin to contend with his stupid face though.
