    Vivienne Westwood

    There is one Vivienne Westwood boutique here in NY in SoHo. As far as I know, it's still open, but I haven't been there in 5 or 6 years. Vivienne Westwood's designs just do not appeal to me. As everyone else has said, they're too wild and outlandish. Although because of this thread, I may stop...

    Other NYC sales

    they weren't bad. I picked up a couple of D&G shirts at Barneys and an Armani Black Label shirt at Bergdorfs. Both were marked down more than 60%.

    Richard Tyler couture.

    Out of curiousity, where can you find Richard Tyler? A long time ago, I used to see Richard Tyler at Barneys and Bergdorfs but haven't seen or heard about it in a while. I remember when a lot of actors would also wear Richard Tyler tuxes to the Academy Awards, etc. anyway, from what i know...

    Battistoni Ties & Shirts

    I love Battistoni. Here in NY, i've only seen them at Barneys. If you're a fan of The Talented Mr. Ripley, that's where Dickie and Tom Ripley go when they go clothes shopping in Rome in the movie. My favorite aspect of Battistoni shirts are the rounded edges on the collar.

    My favorite t shirts are by Tailgate, Project E, Tyler Speed, Altru and Five Crown. Then there are many quirky t shirts I find. I'm kind of a tshirt fanatic, and i'm always on the hunt. Probably my store to get t shirts is Belmont Army Surplus in Chicago. here are some cool online t shirt stores...

    The paraphenalia of modern living

    In the summer, I just carry a credit card case by Bottega with one credit card, my Metrocard, my license and my gym card. Only other things I carry are my cell phone which is small enough to fit in my pocket w/o being uncomfortable and my iPod which I clip to my belt. I'm lucky to be able to...

    Barney's private label suits? thumbs up? down?

    A lot of Barney's Private Label stuff is made in the same factories as designer Italian stuff like Armani, Cerruti, etc. The quality is good for standard, non-custom suits. A price of $450 is a good price. I wouldn't call it a bargain, but it's not a bad price.

    Ralph lauren or lacoste?

    Although I'm not a big fan of RL and prefer the history of Lacoste and Rene Lacoste, I have to admit that RL polo shirts fit me much better and have a better variety in material, color and patterns...

    Fashionable ski gear

    I agree that you really want to go for something practical when skiing. Check out the outdoors brands (my personal faves are The North Face and Arcteryx) for good stuff that will last. North Face came out with an awesome jacket called Free Thinker for this season. Salomon and Rossi also make...

    Menichetti

    Finally caught it at Barneys. I was very underwhelmed. I found the entire collection to be very boring. Seemed too similar to Armani--lots of neutral shades. I'm a bit disappointed.

    Fashionable ski gear

    In Europe, I think Bogner and Killy are most popular amongst the older set. I personally wear Killy pants and Salomon everything else. I also like Arcteryx and North Face, but I don't think they're too popular in Europe.

    Which type of brand do you most like to wear

    I voted for Lux Designer. My favorite designer/brands all have a similar look: Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, and Calvin Klein. I'm a big fan of John Varvatos too.

    I like the Allegri vest. Too bad it's not my size, otherwise I would have bid.

    Buying from barney's???

    I can't imagine it'd be a problem, but as Mike C says, be sure to be very specific about what you want and verify that you can return/exchange the item.

    Balenciaga menswear

    I posted about Balenciaga about a year ago. They sell it at Barneys and to be honest, I'm not all that enthralled with it. I just saw the spring collection for Balenciaga this past weekend and am still not won over. Maybe I'm just missing something? It seems like overpriced grunge wear to...

    Piattelli

    Piatelli is not a the Barneys house brand. Barneys just added their name to inform you that they are one of the exclusive sales outles for Piatelli in New York. I think Bergdorfs sells Piatelli too. Having the department store name is a pretty common sight on suit, dress shirt and even tie...
