We can’t believe how much we like Unruly Heir, the clothing line started by Kristian Laliberte. It’s sharp, it understands that it’s sort of a joke, and if a guy showed up for a date wearing a piece of it, we wouldn’t mind at all. But we still think its creator is a little funny.
Meanwhile, Doug Marshall took time out of his busy schedule wearing blazers and shorts to make these tees in honor of the now-fallen Socialite Rank.
With Genevieve Jones launching a jewelry line and Tinsley’s second batch of Samantha Thavasa handbags hitting shelves soon, we had a brief moment of panic until we realized:
Tory Burch was a certified lady who lunched, until she became something of a style genius.
Of course, we don’t expect many to follow her success… do you?

I question designating tory burch any kind of fashion genius. shilling, maybe, networking, sure, but fashion?
Not fashion genius – style genius. Slight difference. I certainly wouldn’t let her cut a pattern.
burch is not a style genius.
mortimer is droll and uninteresting and jones is too. ewwwww. over socialites right now.
Gawker noted that the kid who writes PAP was pictured in NYmag wearing a blazer from Unruly Heir. Think he might be getting some notes from Kristian?
This line is a joke. It’s a play on prepster meets hip hop and it looks so forced.
I don’t have respect for Laliberte, but I like his line – he (or whoever’s designing) really hit the trend pulse with those hoodies. Also, the pieces look less forced than Trovata (nearest comparison I can think of) and god knows they did good things for a short time.
i agree with ridiculous! i saw this line and thought, “now where have i seen this stuff before? oh, that’s right at Phat Farm!”
it’s prep trying to be street, which Russell Simmons did ages ago!
Thanks AMM and Ridiculous – I’m not as familiar with Phat Farm as I could be, so I’ll run by their store tomorrow and check out their collections.
I still think there’s something really charming (and snotty, in a funny way) about a seersucker hoodie, but I can’t wait to see what Russell Simmons’ line has that compares.
xo F.
Um. I don’t get the obsession with Tory Burch and her stupid flat shoes with the stupid gold thing on them. They’re everywhere. Ugh.
ps checked out the unruly heir site- LOVE it!
I don’t know much about phat farm either but I love the LOLA boys and their t’s/clothes. The line isn’t as developed as Unruly Heir but their look seems legit and they are a walking representation of their line. Laliberte pops his collar and used to wear fur..how does he fit in with this line??
