From Rags To Riches
They may have earned their New York cred—and become, in the process, Yanks fans to boot—but Rag & Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are English boys at heart. “There is a kind of anonymity being here that I really relish,” says Neville, who described his childhood as “classic English boarding school” at a dinner [...]
At Rag & Bone’s Soho Opening: Sienna Miller And…Walkable Shoes?
There was plenty to take in at last night’s opening party for Rag & Bone’s new store on Mercer Street. For starters, the petite blond in tiny gray flannel shorts chatting with designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville proved to be Sienna Miller. And no, readers of The New York Times, she’s not dating either. [...]
Yea, Nay, Or Eh: The Two-In-One Shoe
The hybrid shoe is here to stay. A brief recap: open-toe, high-heeled hiking boots at Rag & Bone, where Marcus Wainwright and David Neville are busily expanding their accessories business, including footwear. Alexander Wang: clog brogues, open-toe, high-heeled motorcycle boots; peep-toe dual animal-print wedge booties. Preen showed a pair of platform sandals with a bootlike [...]
Friday Night Lights
On any given Friday night, the corner of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue is going to be a traffic morass. But if the gridlock seemed a little heavier than usual last night, it probably had something to do with all the cabs stopping in front of Abe & Arthur’s, the joint that’s taken over the [...]
Blasblog: From Theory To Terry On Fashion’s Night Out
To put it mildly, my Thursday night plans were ambitious. For Fashion’s Night Out (or F-NO! as some of us were calling it), my pit stops would be the following: Theory, Rag & Bone, Intermix, Burberry, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Prada, Miu Miu, Armani, Oscar de la Renta, Missoni, the Vogue Alumni House, Opening Ceremony, and [...]
Rag & Bone Expands Into Eyewear
The universe only offers up so many opportunities for an Al Yankovich-style retrofit of a novelty hit from the eighties. So, apologies in advance, but here goes: The future’s so bright for Rag & Bone, they gotta make shades. In other words, R & B design duo Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have crossed the [...]
Fashion’s Night Out Ramps Up
There are plenty of New York fashion week fêtes next month to look forward to—including a Coco Avant Chanel premiere and the relaunch party for Pop magazine—but, trust us, none of them will compare to the party that the CFDA, NYC & Company, the city of New York, and Vogue have planned for Fashion’s Night [...]
Stam Is (Sort Of) The New Nathan Bogle
The apocalyptic storm that hit just as Rag & Bone’s party to celebrate its Intermix launch began was no impediment for the crowd that packed the Ace Hotel’s sofa-strewn lobby. “I’m so surprised,” said the label’s taller designing half, Marcus Wainwright. “I thought it would be just me and David [Neville] with the people who [...]
Raven Kauffman, Rara Avis
“I was always told to set fashion rather than follow it,” Raven Kauffman told us at a trunk show at Des Kohan in L.A. a couple of weeks ago. “Growing up I was never in style, but now I think people are catching on.” She’s right about that. Lake Bell accessorized her Rag & Bone [...]
Rag & Bone Partners With Penfield
Really, by this late date in March, the prospect of donning a down-insulated, wind-proof, and water-resistant anything should not hold much appeal. But—alas—the weather has obliged to make the new Rag & Bone for Penfield jacket rather instantly covetable. “It’s as warm as a duvet,” notes Rag & Bone designer Marcus Wainwright of the jacket, [...]
