There are few people in this world that you can depend on for style suggestions – everyone seems to have an opinion, a licensed clothing line, two t-shirt companies, and a personal style Tumblr. So when you find reliable friends that double as unfailing fashion informants, you pay close attention.
This week, I was introduced to MEI New York, an evocative new brand with a penchant for the past. Inspired by 19th Century menswear and Christopher Payne’s redolent aesthetic, the design duo shares a similar philosophy with the aforementioned photographer – to preserve the vanishing quality and design of yesteryear.
With close attention to detail, the MEI New York F12 collection combines utilitarian with poise for a rich, enduring debut.
