50 Shades of Prep<\/strong>
\nPostponed due to Sandy, the program was held on December 1. The morning interview and discussion featuring G. Bruce Boyer, acclaimed menswear journalist and Celebrity Stylist, Cliff Hoppus was a treasure trove of information and having Bruce take the group through the Ivy Style exhibition really added insight into the show, \u00a0as well as this style of dress that has been America\u2019s gift to the world \u00a0of dressing starting in the 1920\u2019s , particularly in menswear.<\/p>\n

The winner from the Preppy Pinterest contest was announced during the lunch break. It was hard to choose a winner, but in the end, Gerardo Giannetti won! See his Preppy Lifestyle board below. \"Gerardo<\/a><\/p>\n

The afternoon trips included the new Brooks Bros. concept store \u201cFlatiron\u201d where the manager \u00a0Anne Alcocer \u00a0gave a welcome and talked about the Brooks strategy to attract a younger customer in addition to their loyal following in their traditional stores. \u00a0The store at 19th and Broadway is a treat to visit. The next stop was the iconic flagship Brooks Bros. Store at 44th and Madison for an insightful comparison. \u00a0Ronald Ferguson, concierge gave an escorted tour of several floors and made sure that we also got a look at both the women\u2019s and children\u2019s \u00a0clothing \u2013 all just beautiful.<\/p>\n

The next stop was Paul Stuart where Mona Reilly \u00a0greeted our group and gave the background info on this still privately owned \u00a0civilized \u00a0and warm luxury store. \u00a0One of the highlights of the day was provided by Ralph Auriemma, designer for Paul Stuart and specifically for their upscale Phineas Cole line. Ralph was on hand to talk to us about the designer aspects of the business and how he got started and works today. \u00a0After a quick run through J. Press up the street, \u00a0the program wrapped up with a personal tour by \u00a0Douglas Geller at Gant on 5th Ave with a great assortment of men\u2019s women\u2019s and kid\u2019s, once again underscoring the morning message that prep is really a lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Our attendees thought the program was amazing \u00a0and were thrilled that we spent so much time on men\u2019s and we promised to cover the men\u2019s business more fully in the future. \u00a0We thank all the retailers who welcomed us, in spite of the fact that Christmas business was going on.<\/p>\n
