On the heels of a Fall runway show that garnered the brand its most orders to date, not to mention last night s CFDA Menswear Award win and a pair of New York boutique openings planned for this summer, all eyes are on Rag Bone s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright. Their Resort collection showed that they can handle the scrutiny.
"This isn t about dressing for St. Bart s," Neville said. "It s more of a cool, urban look." The duo emphasized its signature brand of wearable separates and sleek layering. Highlights included a gray-blue silk trench dress, striped mohair sweaters, and a Harris tweed bomber jacket, all of which can be mixed and matched with Rag Bone s expanding core-basics line of attractively priced shirts and jeans. Coolness can t be bought, of course. But Neville and Wainwright certainly make it easier to look the part.
