Nice Collective Fall 2010 Men's collection...... through the eyes of one of Blue Bee's Owners;

" This is the best season for Nice Collective in a while. For this fall season, the designers have gone back to their military roots and brought back some of the styles that made them popular at the inception of their brand along with some of the greatest hits that have occurred along the way. Of course, they always add their uber-cool touches and updates to all of the garments. With the military look at a high, this is a great time to see this look come back. No one can compete with the really rad way that these guys “modernize” the military styles with their viewpoint of city style. - Marty Bebout "

are you picking up our signal??

John Varvatos is one of the most popular collections sold at Blue Bee Men in Santa Barbara. If you are one of his devoted followers then you should take the time to come by and meet John Varvatos Rep Rob Sanderson at Blue Bee's 10 Year Anniversary party this Saturday October 23rd. He will be handing a free tie to all of those who buy a John Varvatos item during the event.

Reps play a huge part in bringing you the most current styles that us as customers want. Every city and the people in it have their own unique sense of style. John Varvatos has a huge collection to choose from. But what do Santa Barbarian's want to wear from that collection? From the careful choices of the buyers at Blue Bee you see what is the best of the best and what emulates what a Blue Bee man is all about.

Natalie, who is tying one of those tie giveaways I was talking about, has been working at Blue Bee Men for about a year. As a local long time Santa Barbarian she knows what Santa Barbara Style is all about. She has a gift when it comes to styling a man and fitting him in a collection piece that will fit him and his own personal sense of style perfectly. I hope you take the time to come in and meet Natalie and Rob and "tie one on" at Blue Bee's Birthday Bash!

: of or related to tailor or tailored clothes.
Last week David Bruno, the rep for Simon Spurr's collection SPURR, came to Santa Barbara and visited us at Blue Bee Men to talk about theis amazing line. This is just a touch of what I found out.
Simon Spurr may be a young designer but he delivers timeless clothing that Men... and women can not get enough of.
Started in 2005 Simon branched out to create SPURR, for the young man who does not wear a three piece suit everyday. It is said to be a "Englishman in New York" look by GQ. His Jackets are made in NY, outerwear made in Italy and Selvage denim is made at the Cone Mill in Greensboro, North Carolina. He goes where the specialists are....so you can say in a way that this line is international, unified, and absolutely Divine.
You will find Spurr in movies such as Charlie St Cloud, on actors such as Zac Effron, Matt Bomer and Ed Westwick.
Sartorial is the word..... Spurr is the definition.

Rogan Men's Fall 2010 Collection at Blue Bee Men

Rogan Fall 2010 at Blue Bee Men 6


Rogan Fall 2010 at Blue Bee Men 4

Rogan Fall 2010 at Blue Bee Men 1
Owen is wearing all Rogan Dent Headwarmer, Spangler Scarf, Wilkinson Navigate shirt, Vondal Cardigan Black, and Puck Ataria Jeans



A blue collar baby Rogan Gregory began the early "sprouts" of his work-wear feel from his simple home town of Kent, Ohio. Rogan Gregory has his influence and involvement in so many different and amazing ventures now from art to clothing and were the lines cross you will find him.

You will find him in an inspirational shift in
Rogan VS BBlessing. Saturated by rhythm at a Earth Day with Subterranean Drum Circle, Or an object or two. From an interview with Time Out Chicago Rogan says this "I like modern that has a little grit and a little soul to it. So, if you look at a table that’s mid-century, over the years it’s gotten scarred and worn. It’s still that great modern shape, but it’s also got a lot of character." He spoke these words in 2008.... they still hold true today. Character? Vision? Focus? probably all.


In
Wallpaper's Eco Edit Rogan states: "I am definitely aesthetic-oriented. If I don’t like the way the way something looks but it’s super-eco, I don’t give a shit. It’s got to look nice," he says. "I’m just not so extreme and I don’t expect people to be so extreme. I expect people to buy things for the way they look. I don’t count on people to do it out of the goodness of their heart, I don’t think you can." Bringing it back to the earth many of Rogan's ventures have been and are to this day as organic and sustainable as possible. His partnership with other lines such as Loomstate and Edun all clothing is 100% organic. With Rogan(while partially organic) it screams design first.

Rogan's influence is not also from the blue collar, middle American environmentalist, he also has a skill that most Californians can relate to. Surfing. How does a man from Ohio, resides in NY, works relentlessly know how to surf? I have no idea. I will have to ask him at some point.

Men's Fall 2010 collection is a artistic toss of what seems to be knitted static, hand picked button details, legends, specific placement of points, and fabric that almost illuminates their color. This fall has more hidden messages than a Beatles album. Seriously ...what does it all MEAN? I ask my-self. And what answer do I get? "Call you MOM"

But I am naturally sucked in to the allure of WTF and can not but help love every piece of Rogan's Men's and Women's collection. They are so exquisitely made, sturdy fabric and style that just wont go away. No wonder Rogan Gregory has won so many awards for his simple yet revoutionary expressionism, design, and vision.

Which brings me to a big thanks to my husband's dear friend Owen for allowing me to photograph him. Owen is also a surfer, AMAZING artist(check out his blog "
this world is parallel") and lover of rad fashion. We talked about Rogan's clothing longer than we did taking pictures of him in them. Owen was quickly captured by the allure of WTF and totally related to the fit, feel and look of the collection.

And this is just the beginning for Fall.... I can not wait to show you our second shipment of
Rogans Fall 2010 collection at Blue Bee and Blue Bee Men. This Ohoian gone rogue will always build the character of my closet. What about yours?

John Varvatos Fall 2010 at Blue Bee Men - Preppy Boys are Bad Ass

John Varvatos at Blue Bee Men 079-2



John Varvatos at Blue Bee Men 085-2

John Varvatos at Blue Bee Men 144-2



John Varvatos at Blue Bee Men 295-2



John Varvatos at Blue Bee Men 411-2




Grey, Beige, Dark Brown, Eggplant, Hemp Tee's, Stripes and zippers. Star USA by John Varvatos is a little more light hearted that the monotone John Varvatos collection but still all Rock and Roll. His American style has lightened up and gone a little preppy, think Alice Cooper sitting in the den with the Dead Poet's society. Richus!


If you want to kick up your JV Star Style a notch then just roll your those Cork Khaki's up just a little and leave your socks in the drawer. Throw on a long scarf and let it all hang out the bottom of John Varvatos' AMAZING Asymmetrical Soft Jacket with buttons, zippers and stripes. You won't blend in the crowd.


Oh and yet another designer that shares Blue Bee's 10 year anniversary, in celebration John Varvatos has created an ad campaign to top them all...actually it includes them all.

The John Varvatos 10 th Anniversary Ad Campaign will be featured nationwide in all John Varvatos store windows, August 20-October 1, 2010. Print ads will run in Vanity Fair , Esquire, GQ, Details, Vogue Homme , L'Uomo Vogue, Fantastic Man and Wonderland, to name a few.
Outdoor Advertising will feature NY bus shelters, LA Billboards, Las Vegas Taxi Tops, and San Francisco Bus shelters.

In 2005 John Varvatos chased a collaboration with Photographer Danny Clinch and creative director Stephen Niedzweicki that resulted in a revolutionary add campaign that is as famous as the clothes these bloaks are wearing. They feature ZZ Top, Franz Ferdinand, Perry Farrell, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Velvet Revolver, Iggy Pop, Chris Cornell, Joe Perry and Ryan Adams.


“I wanted to work with musicians that were iconic in their own right. Alice Cooper is the godfather of Shock Rock and Iggy Pop is the godfather of Punk. The younger guys like Franz Ferdinand are breaking new ground. I wanted to say that style is not about being pretty; you have to have some kind of an edge. It’s also not about trends, but about being timeless. Just like these artists’ music, this imagery will live on and be discovered and embraced by future generations.” - John Varvatos


Preppy Boys ARE Bad Asses
