From The Desk Of Rag & Bone
Spring ‘12 sketches, binoculars, his kid’s artwork, a large and growing collection of Air Jordans and Adidas sneakers. That’s only part of the inventory of Rag & Bone designer and co-founder Marcus Wainwright. It’s also what you’ll find on the label’s new blog, relaunching tomorrow at Rag-bone.com. “While we have had our blog since the [...]
Go Westway, Young Men
Between all the prep work, production, and execution, there’s a lot that goes into a fashion show.

Edita, Abbey, Sasha, And Lily Take It To The Streets
Edita Vilkeviciute, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sasha Pivovarova, Lily Aldridge. Sounds like the makings of a flashy ad. In fact, all four top models posed for Rag & Bone’s first-ever campaign. The difference is, they took the shots themselves or posed for pals in their living rooms and showers or on vacation. Marcus Wainwright and David [...]

When rumors spread earlier today that Rag & Bone would be opening up a new shop in the Nolita space that used to house Cafe Colonial, reaction on the blogs was so hysterical, you’d think that the label’s designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville were two corrupt condo developers threatening to raze a blighted neighborhood’s [...]
Rag & Bone Are Feeling Free
Mark Borthwick has got Rag & Bone dancing to his tune. Tomorrow night, R&B designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are hosting a party at the brand’s Soho store to fête their collaboration with the photographer—shots of Rag & Bone friends and family that Wainwright describes as “the perfect blend of Mark’s irreverent take on [...]
The Kids Are All Right
As nice as it was here in New York, plenty of fashion folks with children (David Neville and Gucci Westman, Jenna Lyons, and host Mary Alice Stephenson) spent Saturday afternoon inside at Milk Gallery at a fundraiser held by Planet Awesome Kid. The Web site is one part The Sartorialist for the under-12 set and [...]
No Use Crying Over Spilt Vodka
Bottle service, deafening dance music, and an eager chorus of people clamoring to get in—just another Friday night at Avenue, except for the shared genes. Charlotte Ronson was throwing the after-party for her Bryant Park show, and, as usual, the family—less brother Mark, who’d flown back to London earlier that day for an album release—was [...]
Rag & Bone, Plus A Little Help From Their Friends
Rag & Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright have been on a roll with their menswear, mixing up American influences and their British roots to create a distinctive signature.
