Footwear: Club Monaco x Mark McNairy Fall 13 Makers & Muses
I am very excited for this collaboration. The product looks great and I am a huge fan of CM & MM respectively. You can read more about the collection below. I just wanted to highlight some of my favorite pieces.

With a cult following of fashion-forward men, Mark McNairy has become a favorite in contemporary American footwear by mixing American and English tradition with a dedication to craftsmanship. Though he got his start in fashion designing for traditional American brands like J.Press, McNairy’s solo foray into the menswear scene came in 2008 with the debut of his irreverent footwear line, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam. The collection is comprised of classic men’s shoes spiked with a decidedly modern edge.
