David & Victoria for A.K. Rikk's

David and Victoria Beckham are admired by men and women alike. We at the store admire them for being stylish trail blazers in their everyday life. David and Victoria are one of the most photographed celebrity power couples. It goes hand in hand that anyone should attempt to look good while attending events and work related appearances, but the rest of the world also gets to see them via the lenses of paparazzi.

In a most recent outing, the couple was photographed at their best. Here is a Posh & David Beckham how-to for all you fans out there. Knowing this is all just one shopping stop away, even Posh & Becks wouldn't pass this up!

David's Ensemble:

Hugo Boss Tie in Multi

Extra Incentive

If picking up some new pasta eating gear from Ermenegildo Zegna isn't enough, tomorrow night we will have Peter from Martha's Vineyard here to do a fine wine tasting along with the trunk show! Definitely a night not to be missed!

Being a Leader

We all talk about it, we look for it in other people, in business, in the everyday: leadership. It is a quality that the partnership between A.K.RIKK'S and Ermenegildo Zegna exemplifies. The best working with the best. This weekend we are proud to have Andrea Stringhini from EZ with us for our Made to Measure event. Come in Friday to view this year's Autumn/Winter collection and receive a fitting from one of the best. 

Ermenegildo Zegna....the book is here!

With the opening of our new store we want to make sure that all of our established Zegna clients as well as you newbies know that we are one of a very select group of stores that are allowed to carry the Antiprima book of fabrics from Zegna. This book includes fabrics only designated for Italy, but is available to only the best stores for their clients who appreciate being able to pick out something a little different from the next guy. We invite you to come check it out in our new Made to Measure room!

A little light reading...

Just in case you picked up this month's Robb Report, Ermenegildo Zegna was picked as the most luxurious sportswear line out there! I know there are a couple fellas, namely B. Cucinelli and Mr. Brioni, who might disagree...

I'm just glad we have all three at our fingertips here at the store!

What do you wear to a press conference?

The whole staff was running around yesterday trying to figure out what to wear tomorrow morning? (BTW....the store will be opening at noon tomorrow to accommodate) In order to get some inspiration and distract my mind for the insurmountable task at hand, I checked out some of the photos of yesterday's opening of the annual Cannes film festival. Much to my delight, Alec Baldwin absolutely blew me away with his navy blue tuxedo, clean white shirt and black bow tie, all courtesy of Ermenegildo Zegna. Superb sir!

Who do YOU think should win?

Eli: Ermenegildo Zegna


Tom: Tom Ford

My take: In picking Zegna, Eli exemplifies the understated cool attitude of a calculated winner. Brady has swagger, and shows it by rocking Ford. My heart is in it for the underdog, but I'll take the Patriots on this one.

Favorite looks...

Passion for Life

Our Ermenegildo Zegna Fall presentation has now arrived in it's entirety! 

That shirt is how much!?!?

-thumb -thumb -thumb -thumb

Just had a gentlemen stop in the store who was admiring the pattern choices of our Isaia and Ermenegildo Zegna shirting fabrics. He was quite excited to see all that we had to offer and began to hoard them into a small pile; that is until he pulled out a price tag. The dialogue that followed is something that happens from time to time at our business. 


"Is this shirt really X amount?"
"Yes, sir."
"What makes it that price?"

(Insert deep breath) "Well..."

I could talk about fabric, and how the cotton is woven so tightly that it is resistant to wrinkles. Or, I could talk about how there are no chemicals used in making the cotton that can irritate your skin. Or I could talk about the minuscule pleating that is found around each seam that shows hand craftsmanship and is there to give the seams of the shirt a little bit of give (translate: stretch). I could also talk about the four to six man hours it takes to complete one shirt. 

However, I am not going to talk about any of those things. I am just going to talk about buttons. The buttons on each of these shirts are hand cut from coral shells distinctive to the Mediterranean. They are known for their resilience and their resistance to heat/cracking, and each one is polished and sewn on by hand. To put things in perspective, one should compare these coral buttons to plastic buttons. When a shirting company purchases plastic buttons they buy them in bulk; meaning on average 1,000 buttons go for about $1.00. Each coral button, that's right, one coral button costs $1.00. SOOOO....after doing the math on one shirt, in just buttons, it cost the company around $14.00. That is the kind of attention to detail you will find in every special piece you find at A.K.RIKK'S.
