All of These Kids Are Just Like The Others…

I know I’ve been super pro-black this week and I swear I’ll get back to your regularly scheduled non-racially tinged programming, but I must say can we get a brown (or yellow) face in the mix? And that is a challenge not just to GQ but to designers of color to make dope shit. Seriously. I would love to be able to point to more than just cats like Oswald Boateng, the Peart brothers, Waris Ahluwahlia and Adrian Savauge when talking about designers of color that are making amazing menswear. I’m not calling for some sort of Rooney Rule when it comes to the menswear media’s coverage of designers (though it’d be nice if they’d do some of the leg work and not just in February either). I know there are young guys such as myself with aspirations to do just this, and in the next 5-10 years I think we will all enjoy the fruits of their labor. It would, however, be nice to see some of that now. Outlets like Ebony and Black Enterprise have featured some folks… but honestly I wouldn’t wear 99% of the stuff they make. If you guys know more people, certainly drop me a note.

**Also, Eunice Lee is killing the game right now… but I was thinking of men of color when I was writing this.

J.C. Penney wants to change the way you shop
My grandma is going to be so disappointed.
In a presentation to investors this week, J.C. Penney announced  they’d be doing away with the sales, coupons, and deep discounts my  grandmother so proudly details after her latest shopping trip to the  stalwart department store.
Starting February 1st, the store’s merchandise will be permanently  marked down by at least 40% to a new “everyday low price.” There will  still be sales – but they’ll only be held twice a month, and only on  select items. (MORE)

JC Penney has spent the better part of 2 years (publicly at least) trying to change their image. As much as I respect the attempt, sometimes you just have to accept what you are. Honestly, I think this new move isn&#8217;t going to have the desired effect of moving them up to the level of a brand like Bloomingdales. If anything, it&#8217;s going to make them more like Wal Mart with some better clothing brands, higher prices on a smaller selection of electronics, and no food.

Alexander McQueen Varsity

To call this a varsity jacket is a joke. This is a track jacket. A very handsome, baller ass track jacket, but a track jacket nonetheless.

Breaking News: Teenage girls on Tumblr do not buy magazine advertising space.
Editor’s note: The Sept. issue of any fashion mag is the largest, I know. My joke obviously wasn’t that funny.
Editor’s note II: So here is what’s intriguing about the above image and the article itself (if you click through) - with publishers knowing the Sept. issue is a huge draw, picking the right cover star becomes an interesting conundrum.

Someone on Based Gos&#8217; team did him a solid and snagged him the Esquire September 2011 issue doe

Canadian import Joe Fresh recently landed in NYC and offers an impressive lineup of pieces we want at even more impressive prices, like this crew neck sweater that comes in at a cool $29. Here’s what else to get.

From going through the slideshow, it would appear that Joe Fresh is Canada&#8217;s Uniqlo
