appel & frank

Sure it was a few weeks ago now, but the appel and frank shows are a great place to find new designers and unique products.

My favorite, possibly because of the whole lifestyle vibe and "leisure with dignity" tagline was Hozell. I really wanted to buy the polo tee that I featured, but at $50 at Appel and Frank, it seemed a little expensive. Well, gosh darn it, now I have to buy it online and pay the shipping. By the way, the tees are not your standard american apparel or alternative apparel stock tee, but made to their own specs in the O.C. The fabric has a slouchy washed feel, without being too casual.
