Her smile got my attention but his collection got me to stop. Adam Spagnolo is son to a architecture dad and a Pucci fashion model mom. His parents are the influence and inspiration for his collection.

His designs are modern. Rigid horizontal and vertical lines and strong grids apply to each of his pieces. His pieces are made from the highest quality material. As I held a jacket over my left hand the thin light weight material elegantly draped over my open palm, reminiscent of the finest Italian suits. This is the theme for his whole collection. Even the leather jackets and vests are lightweight. But he adds his signature to make it practical and stylish even as you move around, for example he adds a small silver chain to the the bottom of the vest to weight it down so it doesn’t flap in the air. I would imagine wearing his pieces to be very comfortable as I can go about my busy day.

“My goal is to mix architectural overtones with a rock-and-roll aesthetic.” says Spagnolo.

You can absolutely pair up his refined pieces with your favour five year old nicely worn in jeans. But you’ll look more like a modern clean rocker than the classic Mick Jagger.

I really like this shirt. Modern yet pays respect to the classic elements. Tuck this baby into a nice pair of raw slim denim, put on a pair of high cut leather boots, strap a guitar on my back, and I’m ready to tour America in my ol’ Chevy.

The boy who grew up in Boston and now lives in Manhattan sure got a good thing going on. Make sure you check out his collection and one of his favourite accent pieces, the backless vest.
