B Store Autumn/Winter 2010 Preview

Here's a grand preview of B Store's Aw10 footwear collection. From the small peek it looks like they have stayed with their iconic shapes, and the crepe sole is here to stay! Also reminding us that London fashion week is only weeks away. Last Season, B Store was inspired by the movie "the Graduate" and managed classic Americana sportswear of the runway.

Always exciting to see what's in store for this season, but one thing is for sure you can count on it to be classical with a twist.

Hidden Gargyle

Billykirk Olive Heather English Walker -$100 -Sizes M-XL

Tuck all the way downtown in the Lower East Side resides Gargyle. A perfect spot to resemble the boutique’s origin concept of the early American country clubs, which were located in rural sanctuaries.

Entering Gargyle you immediately get a change in scenery, yet still feeling the culture of the L.E.S. Carrying brands such as April77, Bstore, Fred Perry, Mjolk, and YMC all which support the store’s philosophy of “Believing in whatever ones amusement may be, dressing smart and for the part will make good times great!!”

b Store "The Graduate"

7th MAN asked the designer duo Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie the story behind the new collection.

"It started with Benjamin Braddock, who is the main character of the movie The Graduate. Then we moved it slightly to Americana sportswear, rich kids playing in the Hamptons with million pound pads.”

With checkered and striped button downs, blazers and pants, mostly rolled up a bit, relaxed shorts, and sweaters wrapped around the shoulders. Classical comes to mind with an American feeling, but never losing its British charm.

"Menswear today is going back to the traditional ways, their is no fuss, good pair of pants and jacket." said designer Kirk Beattie.
