"Lawv nrhiav pom thaj chaw ntawm Pluto hauv lub siab," hais tias Michael Bastianduring lub sijhawm teem sijhawm ntawm nws lub chaw haujlwm West Chelsea hnub no, soj ntsuam nws lub caij nplooj zeeg sau lub siab xav. "Lub qab ntuj khwb tau qhia peb ib yam dab tsi - yog li peb nyuam qhuav mus rau txoj kev ntawm astronomy nerds . . ”
Interstellar romantic streak sib xyaw nrog kev kawm-tab sis-kev lom zem sensibility? Rau Bastian, qhov kev xav tau ua tiav, thiab, ntawm nws tus kheej, nws ua rau lub suab zoo siab tos txais hauv kev ua ntej. Ntawm no yog cov khaub ncaws npaj ua rau hnub so hauv lub tebchaws - tab sis rau kev nyob hauv tsev thiab saib lub hnub qub hauv lub tsom iav, tsis yog rau kev tua cov nquab av nplaum lossis txaus siab rau South Side - noj su hauv lub club. “Nws yog ib qho kev txwv ntawm peb lub neej. . . Peb zoo li muab tso rau hauv lub thoob ntawm, 'Auj, lawv yog cov preppy guys,' ”tus tsim hais. Li no, qhov kev hloov kho.
Sweaters tuaj nyob rau hauv qab cashmere weaves tab sis nrog galactic intarsia motifs (hazy Pluto, constellations constellations, plaub-point hnub qub nyob rau hauv Lurex). Bastian thiab nws pab neeg kuj tau tsim cov ntawv luam tawm los ntawm cosmos-etched qab nthab ntawm New York's Grand Central Terminal (ib qho khawm-down txawm tias nws tau rov ua dua hauv qhov chaw nres tsheb cov xim turquoise-thiab-kub). Lub tsho hooded nyiag ua yeeb yam; nws cov khoom siv hlau chunky thiab Casentino pre-pilled lub cev ("Ib tug Italian yos hav zoov ntaub," qhia meej Bastian) tej zaum yuav yog ib tug tshaj plaws txoj kev uas tus txiv neej tau los txog. Qhov thib ob ze yog ib lub tsho slim-haum nrog lub hnab ntim khoom ntawm lub xub pwg sab laug.
Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb kom paub, txawm li cas los xij, tias Bastian yuav tsis tau ua ntej. Prep yog ib feem ntawm hom DNA. Cov duab thiab kev txiav thiab cov silhouettes yog txhua yam muaj kev nyab xeeb - nws ua cov khaub ncaws zoo nkauj rau ib hom (arguably fashion-conservative) txiv neej, hom txiv leej tub uas yuav saib Brunello Cucinelli thiab Loro Piana nyob rau hauv rounding tawm nws wardrobe. Txawm li cas los xij, Bastian tsis tu ncua ua tiav tag nrho cov no nrog glimmers ntawm rambunctious cov hluas - uas lub hnub qub Lurex twinkling yog nws tus kheej me ntsis txoj kev mus "tawm ntawd."
