An American Jacket in Paris

No two species of iconic American outerwear mate quite so well as the bomber and the varsity letter. One particularly fine specimen can be found in the window of Blackrainbow scarpe nike, a boutique at 68 rue des Archive, in Paris. It has existed online and within the department store Citadium for four years, and this past January opened its first stand-alone shop. In addition to a well-edited selection of street-wear brands like Stüssy scarpe nike, Wood Wood, Woolrich, Barbour and Supra, Blackrainbow produces a small in-house label that includes a yearly limited-edition leather jacket manufactured by hand in France. (See related video.)

Blackrainbow, 68 rue des Archives, Paris; 011-33-1-44-549-754. Open Monday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This year’s iteration features leather arms, white side panels reminiscent of motocross styling and a suede body. It’s a unique piece in a world of leather jackets plagued by sameness.

Backstage Grooming Report - Band of Outsiders

Sternberg’s directive to the makeup artist Dick Page was to create a natural look, which Page did by using one key product — Shiseido Men’s Anti-Shine Refresher Gel — to even out tone and create skin that appears as if it’s been exposed to heat and sun. “I’m focused on mostly matting them out, to keep faces looking dry and real,” Page said. Thin and unruly brows were combed with a dab of Shiseido’s Shimmering Creme Eye Color in Caviar for understated shine and polish. Just minutes before they were sent down the runway, the male models were scanned by Page and “hit with a little bit of bronzer, if necessary. The goal is to make them look believable NHL Jerseys, not made up.”

It took traveling to Mexico City and rewatching the director Sergio Leone’s “Dollar Trilogy” for this season’s inspiration to click together for the designer Scott Sternberg. “I just felt it was time for me to do a little take on western, with a bit of Mexican influence,” Sternberg said. “There’s a hint of cowboy in my guys. Picture them coming off a mesa or range. They should look like themselves, honest and straightforward.”

Using Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Spray and Surf Spray, the hairstylist Duffy coaxed an extra-matte, almost rough feel out of hair for an overworked, dried-out effect — “a dusty finish to reflect the desert landscape NHL Jerseys,” as he put it. “I’m using 90 Percent Thickening Spray as the styling agent NHL Jerseys, and 10 Percent Surf Spray to finish the look. I’m creating the dust by simply overloading product.”

Christian Louboutin
Nude “Sex” shoes (and yes Coach handbags, the word is spelled out in Swarovski crystals) make us want to click our heels three times, get into bed and … put on our slippers.

H&M
Tries on a new business strategy for the chic and not so cheap. Look out for a new store chain coming in 2013.

Guinness World Book of Records
Has found its longest wedding-dress train at a stunning 1.85 miles long. If for some mad reason you’re looking for a 1.85 mile train, go to the Andree Salon in Bucharest.

Guess
The brand retaps the model Claudia Schiffer for its new campaign: 30 Sexy Years. Meanwhile, Guess is still fighting with Gucci over the rights to the letter “G.”

Robb Coach handbags, AnnaSophia
See pics of the actress as the young Carrie Bradshaw in the forthcoming “Sex and the City” prequel, “The Carrie Diaries.” Sorry, AnnaSophia, you just can’t fake those ca-ca-ca-curls.

Joe Fresh
To celebrate the opening of its New York flagship store on Thursday night the brand launched a series of fashion films by notable female filmmakers: Ellen Von Unwerth, Sue de Beers and Deborah Turbeville.

Kwong Coach handbags, Lily
The Vogue contributor went to the Joe Fresh store to shop like a “commoner,” or buy a spring look for under $150. Word on the street is she never came out.


All the fashion news of the week that’s fit to reprint.

Louis Vuitton
A skateboard tagged in the Stephen Sprouse LV logo for $8,250? We wish.
