• OAK vs. BBlessing vs. Seven New York () [View | Hide]

  How do you orchestrate an EPIC sample sale? You bring together 3 of New York City's quintessential, forward-thinking shopping destinations (OAK, BBlessing, and Seven NY) and discount everything from 70-90% for 3 days. Convinced yet? The Warehouse/Sample sale begins this Friday, November 20. However, the first day will be a private Friends and Family sale (Anyone know the password?). The public has a full 2 days to pillage the remaining goods. We're sure you can already imagine the plethora of labels that you may expect, so don't miss this one! Our advice, come early (space is limited) and be sure hit up that ATM (cash only). Black Friday could not have come any earlier.

• First Look: Zero + Maria Cornejo Menswear Preview () [View | Hide]

  The men who picked up on the subtle infusion of unisex looks from the Zero + Maria Cornejo S/S 2010 show, can now be assured and thoroughly excited that the label has decided branch out into menswear. According to the press release, the NY-based designer will debut a capsule menswear collection that will be available in both Maria Cornejo boutiques and Project No. 8 on January 15, 2010. Cornejo effortlessly translates her design aesthetics from one gender to another, recreating the same beauty from simplicity and irregularity so inherent in her women's ready-to-wear collection. We at HOMMEBOY.net love the soft blazers, navy coat, and the not-so drop crotch pants. Often the boldest statements are the the most understated. Expect a more substantial menswear collection for F/W 2010.

• Eau De Odin () [View | Hide]

  Last night, Paul Berardi and Eddy Chai of Odin debuted their latest in-house series of fragrances—Odin EDT—at an intimate gathering at the Hotel Griffou. The series, developed alongside perfumers Kevin Verspoor and Pierre-Constantin Guéros, is composed of 3 distinct scents: Nomad, Owari, and Legacy. Although each scent strikes a different chord with the olfactory system, they all seem to converge upon a common thread that describes the wearer: a man who is thought-provoking, serene, and esoteric. Scent 02, Owari, was one of the 3 scents given out that evening. We really enjoyed the vibrant, refreshing character of the Mandarin and Bergamot, which wears away quite nicely into warm middle and bottom notes of Cubeb Pepper, Neroli, and Cedarwood. The packaging and design is also very handsome. Each square bottle is topped with a weighted soft-touch cap and housed within a sturdy box with sliding drawer with a grosgrain pull tab. When back lit, the inherent transparency of the bottles reveal the beautiful amber hue of the scent itself. Each fragrance retails for $110 and is available at Odin boutiques. For more info, check out the Odin EDT site here.

• Bess Looks West () [View | Hide]

  New York cult label, Bess, has achieved this season what some designers have not been able to do. The aim was not to makes clothes that only appear to be well-worn on the surface, but to create clothes that are familiar, like things you've kept around in your closet and have worn all your life. For Spring/Summer 2010,  texture and color derived from the seasonal rebirth of the Western American landscape create the foundation for this emotional collection. "It's about the color of sand and earth, the feeling of cloth that emphasizes its origin in the skin of the animal and the deep color of raw dyed silk by hand," says designer Doug Abraham. "Copper metals and shapes that move in the wind and are luminous in the heat of the sun." There's a sense of old-Western nostalgia (In The Badlands, the title of the collection) the was exemplified with poncho and the leather pants, but juxtaposed with the modernity of a "well-traveled", off-white suit. The studs remain a staple in the collection but has become less and less the key element as with prior collections. Rather this time, it's the raw and unprocessed nature of the materials that give the clothes life. For Bess, it's never about the new or cutting-edge. It's about making the old, new again. "Clothes are meant to be work hard and exhibit the decay of something that has been loved."

• Today A Gilt Man is Born () [View | Hide]

  Avid male clothes whores who regularly enjoy Gilt Groupe's deeply discounted designer threads now have a newly revamped and shopper-friendly site for their own. The doors to Gilt Man open today, and the new site is quite impressive. Not only does it boast additional sales and a wider scope of labels, Gilt Man offers an expanded Home section and is now offering slew of drool-worthy gadgets. First in the lineup, fold up bikes by Strida. And if you must have that Thom Browne suit you've been lusting over for ages, but are stuck in midtown traffic, download the new 'Gilt On The Go' app for your iPhone. You'll never miss out on the opportunities!
