admin wrote a new blog post: 21 Jump Street; The show that fashion forgot There are times we look back upon with a certain nostalgia. We feel a certain wistfulness for "what was", a sense of "those were the days". Something tells me the days of 21 Jump Street (1987-1991) won't soon be one of those eras. As I sat down to collect photos for this piece, I was struck [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: How to wear a t-shirt One would not immediately think that this is a topic on which you'd need instruction. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Arm through arm-holes, head through neck-hole, proceed accordingly. As it turns out, some of us could use a little advice on the topic. Do I go form fitting? Do I wear it cropped? Is neon yellow a [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Mens spring 2012 cardigan; a research project As we continue to produce new designs and source as many super-soft tees and hoodies as we can, quietly behind the scenes we have been working on our first ever custom product piece. With no timeline in mind and an attitude of education, we are aggressively pursuing "operation cardigan". A shawl-neck lightweight piece, this is one [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Is Willy Wonka a fashion maven? I'm sure this is not the only blog written on the inspirational qualities of Willy Wonka. I'm sure creativity, youthfulness, innocence and heavy drug use have all been considered (don't tell me there were not heavy doses of various hallucinogenics passed around during set + costume design). Safely, we can probably assume that not many an [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Superbowl 2012; an inside fashion look You either love football or hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. I'm convinced there is no halfway liking what takes place on the gridiron (no, it's not a place where waffles are made, silly). I happen to be one of those crazed fans who can't get enough of the hoopla. There's pretty much [...]

It's the moment when you realize that no matter how ahead of the curve you think you might be, someone else is right on your tail. In fact, 1000 someone elses are right on your tail. Lack of Originality This goes back as far as 5th grade. I remember it vividly. Painfully. I [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: graphic apparel; it makes you cooler Don't believe me? Fine. I can be reasoned with. I'll admit that this is difficult to back up without any substantial evidence. HOWEVER, where you have to acknowledge defeat is in the fact that limited edition graphic apparel without question, makes you a better person. I mean, let's explore the facts: You own something really cool (in [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Getting sweatshirts off the hook (and into your outfit) Hoodies & sweatshirts ; they get no respect. There was once a time when I would create an entire outfit surrounding a specific sweatshirt that I wanted everyone to see. More recently I've used my sweatshirts as layers that I can throw on last minute if I feel like it’s chilly outside. In some cases I’ve even [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Kanye West; music + style master People can and will debate artists levels of creative genius and the methods by which they perpetrate their message. Kanye's antics have certainly been scrutinized through the years, and rightly so. What is not up for debate, however, is the large impact he has had on both the music and fashion scene. Releasing hit after hit [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Socially Conscious Apparel; what's in a name. The authoritative Wikipedia defines Social Consciousness as " consciousness shared within a society. It can also be defined as social awareness; to be aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis; to be conscious of the difficulties and hardships of society ". Through the years it would appear that by and large [...]

An encapsulation of an entire years worth of events and happenings summarized in a matter of paragraphs. Where to begin? What do we cover? In the moment we'd say each days effort is a very important piece of the whole. No one greater, no one insignificant. Less [...]

Stylist to the stars, you probably know her from her hit Bravo show The Rachel Zoe Project or The Zoe Report. While Zoe isn't one to be tied down, F&F most appreciates her day-to-day casual style that can best be described as rocker-turned-bohemian-turned-independent woman. In fact, Rachel even [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: Ryan Gosling in "Drive"; a style icon I'm going to be up front from the get-go; you need to possess a serious amount of bad-assery to pull off some of what Ryan Gosling wears in this years hit flick Drive. He plays a stunt-driver who moonlights as a wheelman for some less than savory characters, and does so wearing a collection of clothing that [...]

While we've certainly had more moving parts and potentially hazardous issues in past shoots, for whatever reason this one seemed to take forever to get here. Maybe it was the 5 reschedules we put our photographer through. Perhaps it was the last-minute apparel adjustments. Maybe, just maybe, it was [...]
