F. Scott Fitzgereld loved Brooks Brothers and expressed so in his writing. Just as you guessed, “The Great Gatsby” has the brands name scattered around a bit and made top priority on Catherine Martin’s costume design list for the books film adaption. This collaboration eventually lead to an evening and day wear collection which is available in stores and online here.
“Top sellers so far include a black bowtie with white tipping — a Brooks Brothers archival piece that Martin discovered and brought to the retailer; it’s also the tie worn by DiCaprio in the poster of the film; a bottle green cotton cardigan with burgundy and white trim, and a white linen herringbone peak-lapel suit with a contrasting brown vest.”
“In addition to the commercial collection, Brooks Brothers has installed Gatsby-themed windows around the world and is showcasing some of the 1,700 items it produced for the film inside its flagships in New York, Beverly Hills, Milan, Tokyo, London and Hong Kong.” (via WWD)
So what are your thoughts on this collection? My personal favorites include the Navy with white tipped trimming and super trendy white buck wingtip oxfords. Although I don’t know many people my age that will be cashing in on this particular collection, the lookbook is pretty inspirational if your searching for a few sleek new statement pieces.
