Dries Van Noten Spring 2011
We consider Dries Van Noten to be one of today's best designers when it comes to pragmatic sportswear and his opening look for Spring 2011 happens to have an uncanny resemblance to our 80's-era Yohji Yamamoto double-breasted jacket. Both share a confident ease and relaxed fit, and both are destined to give you a whole lot of coverage for season's to come. Lucky for you, ours is Yohji, a season early, from the private collection of New Wave icon Aimee Mann and is only $326.

Aimee Mann's New-Wave Fav's at Vagabondnyc

Vagabondnyc.com is happy to announce the launch of a very special range of early 80's avant-garde pioneers from the personal collection of singer/songwriter & New Wave icon Aimee Mann. Looking through her collection, the bulk of which come from Comme Des Garcons, Jean Paul Gaultier, Katherine Hamnett & Yohji Yamamoto, we were floored by these groundbreaking early designs and how relevant they were for today. While they channel the era's strong hyper-androgynous sensibilities, we like that they also exude a calm sense of assured sexuality and are reduced to simple shapes and clean unfussy lines. These aren't clothes for the sake of being avant-garde, instead they are clothes for the wearing.

They also happen to hit upon the inspiring personal style notes of Mrs. Mann herself, who was once known for championing the 80's hyper-androgynous, relaxed yet strong feeling.
