Designers make modern changes to classic looks

Man vs. Machine, a current fa­vorite of my own, is a style that is not for the weak-hearted or con­servative.

Jordan White and Charlie Browne strive to create a line that “caters to the creative intellectual” and with this line, that goal is sur­passed.

Their innovative ideas and odd view of fashion make their line ta­boo to the typical fashionista but are the things that fash­ion dreams are made of.

White, a former designer for Ralph Lauren, fuses that same All-American preppy style with a modern, edgy twist to make Man vs. Machine a truly unique brand.

Through the use of cable knit sweat­ers, col­ored chinos and ankle cuffs there is an obvious reference to the clas­sic Ralph Lauren style.

However, White and Browne take a classic style and add some avant-garde pieces to make their line much more modern.

Their juxtaposition of ret­ro pieces is a combo some may say is weird but others find to be groundbreaking. Who would ever think to make a short sleeve jacket and pair it with knee length shorts with a cuff?

A retro flight jacket with navy cuffed chinos and penny loafers?

The bold combinations of yes­teryears’ fashions and contem­porary style make this up-and-coming line a force to reckoned with.
