Runway Bestsellers
“American Fashion Menswear,” by Robert E. Bryan ($50, Assouline).
From the urban prep of Tommy Hilfiger to the shrunken, mod suits of Thom Browne,
Bryan, an acclaimed New York style journalist, covers a gamut of guy’s styles in a photoladen
anthology featuring the country’s best-dressed men. Six distinct types — from The
Dandy, starring eclectic Outkast front man André 3000 and Vogue’s Andre Leon Talley,
to The American Suit, which honors the snappy Kennedy clan and Gene Meyer’s trendsetting
tailoring (above)— help structure a colorful, coffee table-worthy compilation.
