Your First Look: Boy
Looking every bit the trophy wife, Oscar winner Marisa Tomei is the face of Boy (sister label of Band of Outsiders) for fall, following in the funny footsteps of Sarah Silverman...
Fresh off his CFDA nom last night, Scott Sternberg released his spring imagery for Band of Outsiders—or rather Boy, the women's line. Always a polaroid, it features Sarah Silverman, who's not just our all-time favorite comic, but might just be our all-time favorite person. Just a few days ago we stumbled upon an episode of her show on Comedy Central we hadn't seen before, unbelievably, and nearly died. But wait, why is she doing the sad clown thing?...
Paul Jasmin—photographer, Factory worker, friend of Dorothy (and Judy, really!), voice of Mrs. Bates in Psycho and bedmate of Bruce Weber (way back in the day)—is himself the subject of Band of Outsiders' holiday collection...
Can you guess the theme of Band of Outsiders' new shop-in-shop at Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles? We'll give you a hint: colorful construction toys...
For the uninitiated, Band of Outsiders is a relatively new men's line and, despite the name, Boy is its newer sister line. Both are designed by Scott Sternberg, both are based out of Los Angeles and both are about as preppy as anything you'll ever see, never more than their joint fall presentation, where prep oozed from every corner of the tableau vivant set up in a midtown showroom, from flannel-clad hunting prep to slick-haired collegiate prep. Standout pieces: navy vests with leather buttons, pleated corduroy skirts, shrunken oxfords, tartan cuffed pants and wool coat-dresses. Accessories have always been the core of both lines; for fall, they included cashmere knit ties, varsity gloves, trapper hats with raccoon trim and Band of Outsiders shoes for Sperry and Manolo Blahnik.
