“I have a vision. I’m going to change the face of American fashion… I’ve been an outsider my entire life until one day I stopped giving a flying fuck…” Ewan McGregor as Halston. It’s clear to see why the Halston family has issues over the Ryan Murphy produced Netflix series which premieres on May 14. The HALSTON Archives and Family released a statement, see below.

The HALSTON Archives and Family were not consulted on the upcoming Netflix series involving an inaccurate, fictionalized account of famed fashion designer, "Halston." The HALSTON Archives remains the only definitive and comprehensive source on the man and his legacy as the personally appointed custodian of his private papers and effects. 

The HALSTON Archives travels the world to bring the meticulous history and original design work of Halston to reputable venues with comprehensive exhibits and seminars. Following in the steps of Halston's generosity while living, his family will be adding an initiative to the HALSTON Archives that will partner with select non-profit organizations and institutions to establish fashion scholarships in Halston's name as a way to inspire and empower the next generation of American Fashion Designers.

In addition to this exciting resource, The HALSTON Archives will be launching a non-profit limited, self-sustaining and iconic product line based on original artwork that will fund the scholarship program and continuity of the Archives with the goal of ensuring the HALSTON legacy lives on in future generations of Fashion students.

HALSTON, starring Ewan McGregor, is the untold story of the meteoric rise and fall of the first American celebrity fashion designer.

4 Things Guys Can Do to Improve Their Fashion Style

If you want to improve your look and sense of style and dress better for work or casual occasions, there are several things that you can do to improve the pieces that you put together for outfits and seriously change up your look.

If you are struggling with deciding what to wear and often feel like something might be missing from the outfits that you choose, or the combinations you go for often don’t feel quite right, keep these tips in mind to boost your style and get the look that you want.

Opt for Quality

Sadly, cheap clothing just doesn’t cut it like high-quality does. And one of the best things about investing in good quality fashion pieces is that they are often versatile and last a long time, so you can continue wearing great outfits for even longer. Your wardrobe might be full of clothes, but if they are all cheap and ill-fitting, you’re not going to get the look that you want. Have a clear-out and consider getting some staple pieces from brands like Versace. These pieces of designer men’s clothing can be suitable for every occasion if paired correctly.

Donate Old Clothes

If you’re not feeling your style right now, your wardrobe probably needs a refresh. Maybe you are still walking around in clothing that was in fashion a decade ago but not that hot today. No matter how much you might like a certain piece of clothing, if it’s old, worn, and completely out of style today then you’re never going to feel as good in it as you’d like to. And, clearing out your wardrobe to donate anything you’re not going to wear to charity can be a great feeling.

Choose Versatile Items

When shopping for your new wardrobe, don’t just think about items that you like the look of on their own – consider your other items and outfits, and how they are all going to look together. When buying a new coat, for example, don’t just consider how it’ll look with the outfit that you are wearing right now to try it on, but how it’s going to look when paired with your other favorite outfit combinations.

Improve Your Confidence

Last but not least, a lack of confidence is one of the main things that holds a lot of guys back from dressing the way that they would like to and feeling good about themselves in the clothes that they choose. Taking steps to improve your self-confidence will enable you to choose stylish pieces without second-guessing it and will give you the boldness to just go for the outfits that you want to wear the most. When you are confident in yourself and your sense of style, you’ll find it easier to choose items of clothing that are going to be a perfect fit for you and you know that you are going to enjoy wearing.

If you want to upgrade your style and feel better in the outfits that you choose, keep these fashion tips in mind when upgrading your wardrobe and making new fashion choices.

J.Crew Launches the "Re-Imagined By J.Crew" Initiative

 J.Crew today announced the launch of "Re-imagined by J.Crew," an initiative to realize specific corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability goals focused on products, supply chain, the planet and third-party partnerships.

Developed in support of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, a universal language for corporate responsibility and framework for businesses to take action against the biggest challenges facing our world today, J.Crew's new sustainability initiatives are intended to be a force for change in the retail landscape through enhanced responsible business practices, product innovation and industry partnerships.

"We know there are many areas of sustainability that are in our power to impact positively, including tackling issues deeper in our supply chain and supporting the industry's transition to circularity," said J.Crew Group CEO, Libby Wadle. "By activating our employees, partnering with our stakeholders and listening to our customers, we are developing strategies to address the issues that will have the biggest impact on our products, supply chain and the apparel industry."

As the J.Crew brand continues to evolve, its commitment to CSR, including supporting factory workers, reducing the brand's environmental footprint and providing opportunities for associates to give back, remains a key priority. J.Crew's Re-imagined goals to achieve sustainability include:

  • Fabrics, Re-imagined: By 2025, 100 percent of key fibers will be sustainably sourced, including 100 percent of cotton.

  • Factories, Re-imagined: By 2025, over 90 percent of J.Crew cashmere and chino collections will be produced in Fair Trade Certified™ facilities.

  • Operations, Re-imagined: By 2025, 100 percent of plastic and paper used for packaging will be sustainably sourced, which includes a commitment to eliminate virgin plastic from all packaging, and by 2030, J.Crew operations will be 100 percent carbon neutral.

To further its CSR efforts in line with its "Re-imagined by J.Crew" initiative, J.Crew is partnering with various groups to integrate sustainability plans to reduce its environmental impact. The brand is collaborating with supply chain partners to decrease its greenhouse gas impact throughout its global supply chain and has committed to setting a science-based target with the SBTi by the end of 2021, as well as participating in the CanopyStyle initiative, a collaboration of the fashion industry to help conserve the world's remaining Ancient and Endangered Forests and forward innovative next generation solutions.

Earlier this year, J.Crew advanced its sustainability goals when it announced that 100 percent of all cashmere sweaters and non-apparel pieces from the Spring 2021 collection and onward would be produced using The Good Cashmere Standard® (GCS) certified cashmere. The GCS was developed by the Aid by Trade Foundation, a nonprofit organization aiming to improve the welfare of cashmere goats, the lives of farmers and farming communities, and the environment in which they live. Through its partnership with The GCS, J.Crew is not only able to guarantee a sustainable cashmere supply chain, but also provide full traceability for certified cashmere pieces. J.Crew also announced its partnership with the Sustainable Fibre Alliance to empower women herders in Mongolia to improve their economic and social standing.

adidas Originals Launch the Next Chapter of "Stan Smith, Forever" With Disney

Maison Margiela Men's Pop-up at Neiman Marcus Atlanta

Everyone loves a good Pop-up and this one is a great one right here in Atlanta. A selection of Maison Margiela Men’s RTW and accessories, along with the newest sneaker collaboration from Margiela x Reebok, will be available for purchase at the brand’s pop-up at Neiman Marcus Atlanta from February 26 – March 18. You don’t want to miss this and what’s even sweeter is that you can step into the weekend with these kicks… read on!

On February 26, 2021 Maison Margiela and Reebok release the Classic Leather Tabi in white and black as part of their ongoing collaboration. Drawing on codes evolved by creative director John Galliano, the sneaker expresses the characteristics of the French fashion house through one of the sportswear brand’s most recognizable designs.

The new style of the collaboration – which debuted in early 2020 ¬– represents the most distilled take on the codes of Maison Margiela and Reebok to date. Unifying innovation with heritage, fashion meets functionality in a contemporary design with a timeless appeal.

The Classic Leather Tabi splices two icons into one. Maison Margiela created the Tabi in 1988. With its recognizable split-toe construction – and the signature footprint it creates – it represents the deconstructive design philosophy key to the house.

A formidable running shoe, the Classic Leather from 1983 has become a staple in the casual wardrobe and remains one of Reebok’s most respected and recognizable shoes. For the collaboration, the Classic Leather was entirely rebuilt to accommodate the Tabi split-toe. The style is created in nappa leather with an EVA sole. It is made available in white & black.

A tabi toe sock is offered to complement both shoes. Maison Margiela x Reebok Classic Leather Tabi sneakers will be available from February 26th in select Maison Margiela stores and on maisonmargiela.com and reebok.com.
