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. So it’s easy to see why after wrapping up their men’s and women’s Fall 2011 collections, the duo behind Rag & Bone were ready to celebrate, and at a former strip club, no less.“You only have so much [...]
The Girls Are Doing It For Themselves
(And Rag & Bone)
For its guerrilla campaign, which hit the streets of New York—following a very brief snowstorm delay—this week, Rag & Bone put cameras into the hands of some of its favorite models and told them to have a ball. Edita Vilkeviciute and Sasha Pivovarova took to the beach, Abbey Lee Kershaw to the shower, Lily Aldridge [...]
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 [...]
After September: Cats, Docs, And Frapps
Having struck gold with The September Issue, R.J. Cutler now has a couple similar irons in the fire. For starters, there’s a very mysterious documentary: “It is fashion-related,” the director assured us last night. “I wish I could talk more about it. We will announce it soon. It’s going to be high-stakes and exciting, and [...]
Run For Cover
In our print-crazed moment, wild designs of every stripe are getting fresh looks, from printed pants to clashing patterned outfits. But around our office, we’ve been feeling the time’s right for a more classic, utilitarian print to make a comeback, too: good, old-fashioned army/navy camouflage. Looks like we’re not alone. Chris Benz, in the Times [...]

The Spring Collections Are Heating Up—Literally
It was stiff competition to draw the concert-going crowds last night—with the Dead Weather at Don Hill’s, Robyn and Kelis at Webster Hall, and Arcade Fire in Central Park—but Intermix still managed to get a crowd to its own bash at Skylight Studios. English popsters Locksley and Deluka played for a crowd stylish enough for [...]
Like These Rag & Bone Shoes?
Soon, You’ll Be Able To Get Them Online
Rag & Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright hosted a dinner for a couple dozen editors at Pulino’s last night to celebrate their new shop a block down Houston Street in the former Café Colonial space. Before everyone tucked into their burrata, pizza margherita, and roasted chicken, guests were treated to a free pair of [...]
Rag & Bone Shoes, Now In The Spotlight
After a tiny bit of neighborhood-preservation controversy, Rag & Bone’s new shop—its fourth in Manhattan—is set to open in the old Café Colonial space at 73 E. Houston Street this Friday. The new space will house the label’s lower-priced lines for women, Rag & Bone/KNIT, Rag & Bone/JEAN, and Rag & Bone/SHIRT, and, as enticingly, [...]
