Designer Spotlight: Michael Bastian



Designer: Michael Bastian
Founded: 2006, New York
History: Michael Bastian was the men's fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman before launching his own label in 2006. "We were always talking about things we couldn't find," Bastian once told GQ Magazine. "Chinos, the perfect skinny button-down, the perfect V-neck. All those classic American things that you feel are out there but really aren't." Thanks to Bastian, many of them now are.
The Look: Clean, cut, and weathered man.








Striped polo shirts that fit just right; blazers that are cut narrow; and slim button-down shirts that have concealed shoulder vents so you can actually move your arms. The collection has a 1960's Business Man feel to it but with a modern twist. Perfect for the many hot summer days we have. Michael Bastian has caught my attention with his Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It's very versatile and has throwbacks to the 60's/70's and 90's. Look a little closer, you'll see what I mean.
