RICHARD BERNSTEIN
STARMAKER

Richard Bernstein, a fixture with fashion and art insiders as well as the Studio 54 set, captured the allure of the disco era through his iconic hyper-colored graphic portraits of superstars for the covers of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. Bernstein’s bold and graphic artwork was so complimentary to Warhol’s that it was often thought that Warhol created the covers himself.

DAVID HART
SPRING/SUMMER 2019

It's no secret that we eagerly await whatever New York City menswear designer David Hart throws at us on his runway each season. And we're never disappointed. This season saw an obvious nod to the early 70s, and we were enamored with the entire collection.

Willy! Willy! Willy! The past few seasons from designer Willy Chavarria have made us big fans of all things Willy. And this season was no different. The New York City designer took inspiration from immigration rights issues in the United States. Way to go!
Pictures & Words. Scott Ewalt. STH Editions.

PICTURES & WORDS
SCOTT EWALT

Pictures & Words is the seventh in a series of artist books published by STH editions. When they contacted me and showed me the previous books, I decided to take a slightly less serious approach to mine. I was inspired by burlesque pitch books, mid-century flip books, Andy Warhol's Index and Chris Makos' White Trash.

CALVIN LUO
FALL 2018

Calvin Luo's most recent collection, for Fall 2018, took a walk on the wild side with 50s subculture rebel inspiration - think photographer Karlheinz Weinberger, a Ponyboy favorite. Young and eclectic, we just love it!

Libertine for Fall 2018. Photography by Alexander Thompson.

LIBERTINE
FALL 2018

We've probably said this before, but here we go again...Libertine is hands down our favorite collection to feature every season during New York Fashion Week. Brilliant designer Johnson Hartig is consistently dead on with his LA based hi-end fashion label, catering to fun girls and boys with a bit of extra cash in their wallets.

FADE TO GREY
MILES MONTIERTH

"Fade To Grey" is the name of our latest Ponyboy menswear editorial, a song title from the new romantic band Visage, fronted by style icon Steve Strange. A favorite time period of ours, the late 70s to early 80s proved to be so creative and expressive, from the punk movement to the birth of new wave.
N. Hoolywood Fall 2018. Ponyboy magazine.

N. HOOLYWOOD
FALL 2018

We've long been admirers of Japanese designer Daisuke Obana's high-end menswear collections for the label N. Hoolywood, with his modern twists on vintage inspired designs. This season's looks were heavily workwear driven, oversized and full, with lots and lots of layers -

FENG CHEN WANG
FALL 2018

WILLY CHAVARRIA
FALL 2018

Menswear designer Willy Chavarria is making bold statements with his dark and masculine collections.

This season's show dubbed "Believers" was no less powerful.
The David Hart Fall/Winter menswear collection. Photography Alexander Thompson for Ponyboy magazine.

DAVID HART
F/W 2018

It's no secret that Ponyboy worships all things from menswear designer David Hart, with his twist on 50s midcentury aesthetic presented in past collections. However, this season Hart made this statement: “This collection is really inspired by the mass exodus of American brands leaving New York to show in Paris.
