Color Me Bad: Red
- story Alex Frank
Our wardrobe has always been a mood ring of sorts, and colors come in and out of importance for us depending on any number of things, including weather, relationship status and location. Red Autumn color therapy was the order of the day for fall, which seems more than appropriate, but even now that winter has started and the fall leaves are gone, red has remained a comfort to us. Not sharp reds, but muddier and dustier ones like maroon and cardinal shades. Maybe we’re just trying to remind ourselves of autumn, but a head-to-toe red outfit can be like a shot of B12 in this cold weather, especially in New York City, where everyone else’ll be in all black. You’ll be needing that come January. We’ve gone ahead and compiled a red ensemble for you, and if you can pull it off, you might just make someone’s cold, depressing day a bit brighter.

Jean Touitou’s Fashion Essentials
- story THE FADER
Our desolate simplicity is white T-shirts in packets of three and Woolrich socks. Sometimes it’s not that deep. But then our hero Jean Touitou of APC shows us the nobility in the regular. Amongst his ten essential items: soap, water, tea and white sheets to “cover shitty art in a hotel.” It’s an affliction to not be French.
