Mark McNairy x Garrett Leight F/W 2014

Fashion designer Mark McNairy has collaborated with Californian eyewear designer Garrett Leight before (as seen here), and their partnership continues with his new Fall collection shown at New York Fashion Week. McNairy's signature American preppy/street style is complimented by Garrett Leight's similar aesthetic. These new styles aren't available yet, but we hope to get our mitts on them when they are!

The Many Faces of Mr. Wooster

Nick Wooster may not be a name you recognise (yet) but his perfectly groomed moustache and tattoos are a permanent fixture on the fashion scene in New York. Until recently Wooster was men's fashion director at Neiman Marcus and at Bergdorf Goodman, he appears at all the fashion shows and on all the resulting street fashion blogs.

Rarely is Wooster seen without a pair of sunglasses on, and always seemingly a different pair - he must own dozens. He is so passionate in fact that he recently walked the runway for Mark McNairy's new eyewear collection in NY Fashion Week (as pictured in our feature here).

Wooster is interested in "non-traditional" menswear and he practices what he preaches, often being photographed in shorts & tie, shoes with a lift or matching jacket & pants. He's clearly having fun with fashion!

This is a man who loves eyewear

Mark McNairy

Longtime Garrett Leight collaborator Mark McNairy recently showcased his latest eyewear collection at New York Fashion Week. We're looking forward to getting our hands on some in time for summer!

We currently stock the Garrett Leight X Mark McNairy optical frame "McNairy" in dark tortoiseshell.
