At least this 8 year old has a lot of it. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner’s son, Arlo, is perhaps one of the most fashion conscious kids out there. He’s got a pretty advanced eye for fabrics, mixing patterns, and old styles, creating a sense of style that retains the whimsy imagination of a child and a sophistication well beyond his years. Definitely not the typical shirts and sneakers adolescent we got here because he’s even got a GQ profile with sartorial commentary and all.
Haruyama Trading Co. of Okayama, Japan has created a fashionable businessman’s suit to double as a shield from swine flu. The way it works is that the garment is coated with titanium dioxide, the same chemical in toothpastes to kill viruses. However, the coating is gone after a couple washes so it just becomes a regular swine flu-susceptible suit. $580 and the choice of navy or 3 different styles of gray. go go go.

Caroline Polachek, vocalist of Brooklyn psych synth band Chairlift is this week’s choice because she directed their new video (“Ceiling Wax”, see previous mv update post below). She also gets to model Marc Jacobs with her boys as part of a Saks Fifth campaign where they also played in one of the company’s new NY stores. Theres a string of videos of these chic kids doing random things in MJ wear. It’s not entertaining, but we all gots to pay the mortgage…

30 Rock character, Topher, would be shittin’ himself if he wasn’t fictional. Ivy League school Harvard is announcing that they are licensing their collegiate name to a new fashion line. It’ll be 60′s prep inspired, based off what actual students wore on the campus then. It would be interesting if this is some sort of relief on the school’s budget. The line and the general idea is somewhat exciting since it’s anything but the ‘sweatshirt/license plate/beanie/i hate any other school’ bullshit merch.
