As GQ‘s Justin Doss points out, “This is not your Ivy League professor’s wardrobe.” An exclusive first look into the upcoming partnership between American preppy institution J. Press and rising menswear label Ovadia & Sons, this J. Press York Street By Ariel and Shimon Ovadia preview reveals a refreshing blend of updated collegiate staples from the savvy perspective of one of the Best New Menswear Designers in America. The prep cornerstones of the historic men’s clothier are all present — madras, sack suits, tennis sweaters, white bucks and schoolboy scarves. Meanwhile, the fingerprints of the Ovadia brothers are also there — cargo pants in orange blaze, Tretorn Nylites standing in for Jack Purcells, linen tuxedo shirts, and slimmer fits throughout. The results are uncannily harmonious — the notion of traditional yet modern is thrown around loosely, but in this case holds true. Named after the Yale campus street upon which J. Press was originally founded, the label’s offerings will be available at J. Press retailers sometime next season.

Despite being categorized under the umbrella of “fast fashion,” H&M has always maintained a decidedly high-end approach to its seasonal lookbooks, imagery and visuals. Presenting its Winter 2012 range, the Swedish retail and fashion giant debuts a minimalist and cleaned up pictorial highlighting its range of menswear. For the impending season, the brand initially displays an affinity for all things formalwear via tailored blazers, skinny ties and knitwear. While overtones of formal garb are heavily promoted, H&M also displays a certain proclivity for infusing each of its pieces with a flair for the edgy and unconventional as leather detailing, waxed textiles, paneled fabrics, letterman jacket silhouettes, hoodies, and even double-rider-influenced jackets are thrown into the mix. Pairing beanies and gloves as well as a plethora of other accessories, H&M strikes an all-encompassing balance that affords wardrobe options for any setting or situation. Look for the range to begin hitting H&M locations soon.
