Fashion Fall ‘07 From John Blasioli’s a broken spoke
Posted by on Fri, Aug 24 at 2:06 PM
As I’ve mentioned previously, Liza Rietz and John Blasioli have opened a store together, and the grand opening is coming up: Friday, August 31st, 5-8 pm, at 2305 NW Savier. John just sent me some photos of his latest work on his menswear line, a broken spoke—I love them! I had to post them all up here to show everyone. This is exactly what I think menswear should be, interesting design with looking ridiculous or effeminate (although I also love effeminate menswear looks on certain types, it’s clear why so many men feel like men’s fashion is emasculating). But here’s my dilemma: I need to pick one of these to print in the paper and I can’t decide. What do you think?
More images after the break!

i think you should use either the first one or the 3rd.. the 3rd, however, completely shows what what john's line is about.. great construction, with smart clean, and unexpected lines.
Did you mean, "without" instead of "with looking ridiculous or effeminate"?
As for the pics...I think pic #3 is the best!
#3 will probably look the best in B&W, too.
#1 is the one I'm certainly buying, though! Okay, maybe #3, too. Thank god I'll be back visiting PDX this weekend, yay!
The plaid one with those sweet asymmetrical flaps!
don't post #3 cause i want to buy it. and i want people to think that i discovered the jacket myself.
THANKS.
No.3 is my personal fav as well.
#3!!!
such amazing design and construction...
