Gallery Aesthete Opens in Chicago

RetailLeave a comment

A new menswear store bowed in Chicago two weeks ago – Gallery Aesthete. A brain child of Stephen Naparstek, the owner of Bonnie and Clyde’s, the new shop offers a carefully selected designer lineup in a stark space designed by Lukas Machnik. Next to the established names like Ann Demeulemeester, Comme des Garcons, and Rick Owens hang clothes by Boris Bidjan Saberi, InAisce and Julius. Faliero Sarti scarves round up the collection. A rotating selection of fine art will be displayed alongside the garments and accessories, to highlight Naparstek’s view that the boundaries between fashion and art have been blurred.

Here is a mix by our editorial photographer Jeff P Elstone II, who has worked with us since volume one and has created unforgettable images based on Herman Hesse’s book Narcissus and Goldmund, Joseph Beuys’s infamous “I Like America and America Likes Me” performance, and the Norse goddess Freyja.

“Autumn is a melancholic and magical time of year… This mix is a collection of some of my very favorite tracks that capture the mood of this season,” is how Jeff describes this mix.

RetailLeave a comment

There is no doubt in our mind that the Iceland-based designer Sruli Recht is one of the most interesting creators out there. Finally, there is an opportunity to buy his otherworldly designs from his newly relaunched webshop. We highly recommend the wallets, bags, and of course the special edition of StyleZeitgeist magazine.

Here is the new section of our blog, where we invite people who have participated in StyleZeitgeist Magazine, whether as subject or contributor, to create their own mixtape. Fashion is often intertwined with music, so we thought why not? Our first mix is by Rick Owens. Rick contributed the flagship piece on his role models for volume one. Here is what he wrote about his mix,

THESE ARE SELECTIONS FROM MY FAVORITE PLAYLISTS ON MY IPHONE – “CRACKWHORE” FOR THE LOUD STUFF AND “FAG” FOR THE PIANO BAR STUFF.

IT ALL USED TO BE SISTERS OF MERCY AND WAGNER BUT NOW I CAN ONLY LISTEN TO MUSIC THAT’S SUPERFICIAL – EITHER BIG AND DUMB FOR THE GYM OR SUGAR SHOWTUNES FOR WORK.

Following the success of their first shop Desenzano del Garda, Italy, the founders of Tabo, Riccardo Bettoni & Nicola Tononi, now opened a second boutique in Brescia. The unisex boutique, housed on two floors of a 1940s building is an exercise in aesthetic restrain, with a white interior and minimal decor. Among the more established designers such as Boris Bidjan Saberi, Nicolas Andreas Taralis, A1923, and Julius, the shop will carry brands like InAisce, Masnada, Y.Project. The owners plan on monthly installations and collaborations with designers, artists, and musicians.

A CLOSER LOOK | AMERICA STILL LIKES ME

EditorialLeave a comment

At StyleZeitgeist magazine we count the menswear editorial, “America Still Likes Me,” one of our proudest moments. Based on the Joseph Beuys’s 1974 infamous performance piece, “I like America and America Likes Me,” it was published in volume 2. We have tried to recreate everything as it was, down to the hay, the felt, and the newspapers. The gorgeous creature playing the part of the coyote is actually half-wolf, half-husky.
