>> Never lacking a sense of humor, Scott Sternberg listed among "the people that put the show together" like his stylist Tina Chai and Philip Crangi, who contributed Giles & Brother jewelry, "Snuffaluffagus" and "Cookie Monster" in his Spring 2010 Boy/Band of Outsiders show notes. But jokes aside, the beachy presentation — which included hammocks, sand dunes, beach grass, and miniature boats floating in a pool of water — set off a new round of his blazers, button-downs, trenches, and bandage suspender skirts, with a little floral print thrown in for good measure.
Giles & Brother
Scott Sternberg Takes Boy by Band of Outsiders Lightly, To the Beach for Spring 2010
>> INSIDER WIRE —Philip Crangi, winner of last year's CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory Design and collaborator with Jason Wu for Fall 2009, launched an e-commerce site today for his costume jewelry line Giles & Brother, due to all the phone calls his studio receives inquiring about his jewelry availability. A quick flip through the site features safety pin earrings, leather lashed bracelets, his trademark railroad spike cuffs — which, as a grand opening treat, Crangi is offering free stamping on — and a noticeable amount of brass. As Crangi explained in The Cut's recent studio visit: "We're obsessed with brass. Brass is the new gold. It's recessionary material." [Style File, The Cut]
