On Marriage
Ok bra, she has you in a corner, no amount of sidestepping or delay tactics are helping. Admit it, she's a total fox, her investment banker Dad has a cushy job for you that involves something called a desk, and her family's place in Turks has some bro-tential for a guy trip like none other. You're cooked.
Spring Moves
A.K. is getting geared up for Spring in more ways than one. The annual debates of how soon is to soon for white jeans, when should the staff's closet change over from Winter grays to Spring colors, and the ever important vacation wardrobes are being discussed. Just to show you why the guys are all talking is our new Eton, J Brand and L.B.M. 1911 lifestyle. These three brands are receiving so much press this last month in Details and Esquire as well as countless blogs, so we thought we would highlight some of the new arrivals!
Well...it's over
....but is it ever really? We are getting our Spring deliveries NOW!!
Breaking: Luxury Brand Advertising Now Banned in China
In a bid to reduce awareness of the growing income gap between the country's prospering upper middle class and lower working class, Beijing has now banned all advertising for luxury brands that dominate local ad-space. Companies disobeying the ban face a 30,000 yuan penalty should they turn face to the new law. Along with branding, words like "luxury," "royal," and "exclusive" are also included in the ban.
Hickey Freeman Trunk Show
This weekend is our Spring Hickey Freeman event! Jeff Lang will be here all day Friday and Saturday to demonstrate fresh fabrics, tricked out tailoring, and a general air of American made patriotism. Can't wait to get fitted for my Spring grey herringbone jacket!
A.K. Rikk's Guide to the Upgrade
Congrats brah, after four long years, your mommy baked a graduation cake and you have a real job. Student loans are paid off, the old man lets you "borrow" his 5 series, and the designer wardrobe is starting to look up to par. What? You thought you were in the clear? Think again my friend; it's time for the king to get his castle in order. "Why?" You say, "interior design is for chicks!" No sir! It all comes down to the essential motivation that is at the core of manhood. You may have been able to fool the sorority girls and a couple interns with your tailored Banana three-piece and passable Tag, but now you are on the hunt for real professional women. Even though they are totally focused on their careers and say they don't want to conform to Western society's expectations for their gender, they still might want to settle down and have a baby at some point in a home that doesn't have any Lebron posters or furniture that vibrates when you play video games. "What do I do?" you say. Well, A.K. Rikk's can handle this, brosef. Next week Monday we are starting our Knoll Classics sale! Fifteen percent off on all pieces of the puzzle. See you soon!
