Thrillist New York

Brian Wood

Available at Memes, World NYC, Vinnie's Styles, and Probus

Preppy boarding school tennis dudes may front a clean cut
lifestyle, but they're really just masking a petulantly
rebellious dark side fueled by remote fathers, expensive
drugs and, in the case of 1930s great Don Budge, the
privileged thrill of kicking babies. Get both sides of the
personality, with Brian Wood.

A Jersey-born, Pratt-schooled designer's eponymous line,
Wood's spring duds come in two separate but complementary
collections: a set of luxuriantly preppy, Wimbledon-inspired
jackets, shirts, and shorts, and a selection of lewdly
snarky tees, all united under the louchebaggy title "Flash
the Queen". Starting with the lux, Wood's peddling sweet
white leather jackets with red, white, & blue striped storm
cuffs, cable-knit tennis sweaters and cardigans, navy
half-length overcoats, and an oxford cotton button-down
bearing the line's logo: three tennis balls, two crossed
rackets, and a middle finger (f*ck tennis, anyone?). As for
the graphic tees, Wood ribs Her Majesty (a magenta shirt w/
the queen's head morphed into a pig & surrounded by
bananas), goofs on tennis (a black tee with heavily
pixelated naked peeps frolicking amongst tennis balls), and
invokes Sesame Street's The Count on a lime green tee w/ the
mathematical Muppet's dripping head stuck on an ice cream
stick, with tennis balls for eyes, and a Rolling Stones
tongue -- surely the product of one, two, three acid trips,
ah ah ah.
