Behind the Seams: Warby Parker for Alex Mill

Here's what happened when our two teams got together to take the sunglasses out for a test drive.

My Uniform: Vintage Dealer Sean Crowley

My Uniform: Vintage Dealer Sean Crowley

Among menswear insiders, Crowley Vintage is known as an Aladdin’s Cave of vintage finds. The contents of the shop—classic Anglo-American clothing from the last century—are a bit at odds with the store’s surroundings in Gowanus, an industrial section of Brooklyn better known for body shops than boutiques. Its proprietor, Sean Crowley, is a bit of a curiosity himself—a former menswear designer at Ralph Lauren, who now scours the globe in search of the perfect flannel chore jacket or awning-striped shirt from once-great (and now-forgotten) haberdashers.

LA-based Mary Matson claims to have always “been attracted to iconic things with a personal touch.” So, in other words, she speaks our language.

This ex-Vanity Fair photo editor and author (her first book My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress is out right now) doesn’t have a typical career trajectory. In fact, the events that led her to publish a book are events she wished never happened at all: She befriended a “wealthy German heiress,” Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin) in 2016 who proceeded to con her out of $62,000+...

My Uniform: Katie + Hanna of Amber Waves Farm

Katie Baldwin, co-founder of Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett, New York and Hanna Rose Haar, chef at the farm’s insanely delicious restaurant both have jobs that demand them to dress, well, more for function than for style. However, neither really allows a day in the field or behind a stove to overly dictate what they wear, comfortably “farmifying” their clothes. We’ll let them explain what exactly that means…

I had this phase where I dressed like Annie Hall: Baggy khakis rolled into ankle boots, an oxford button-down tucked in and my wavy, wild hair.

Alex Mill Editions: Natural Dyed Shirts & Tees

It’s a super time-consuming process. I find it very meditative and cathartic but it is very, very physical.

My Uniform: Somsack Sikhounmuong
Co-founder and design director, Alex Mill

My family and I immigrated to Canada from Thailand in 1980—it was a culture shock on so many levels. For starters, no one in my family owned a winter coat or socks [laughs]. Living in Canada, that was an issue. Our town, Oshawa...

My Uniform: Li Ming Geh, Founder of Li Organics

Li Ming Geh isn’t a tomboy in the traditional sense, though based on her affinity for sweatshirts and sneakers you might be fooled (her earliest memories of getting dressed involve stealing her brothers’ clothes). It may be her background as a neuroscientist...
