Rag & Bone
Designers: Marcus Wainwright and David Neville

• “Outside, there was sleet, snow and slush. But inside at the Rag & Bone show, one could find at least a temporary solution to the winter storm: Hot mulled wine to ease the chill, and some fun, colorful clothes.” [AP]
• “Full of mottled textures, like colorful ponyhair, rubberized tweed, quilted suede and ribbed leather, all harmoniously mixed and paneled together, the British-born designers produced a collection that every New York City girl will want to be seen in next winter–no small feat, either.” [The Daily Mail]
• “Wainwright and co-designer David Neville mined the romance of flight, turn-of-the-century menswear, and August Sander’s taxonomic photography to come out with a mod, surprisingly sexy autumn winter 2013 collection.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “It’s no surprise that Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have–yet again–delivered a lineup that is all at once new (even when it’s mod inspired), cool, and exactly what we want.” [fashionologie]
• “It’s hard to imagine how Marcus Wainwright and David Neville will ever surpass the ur-Rag & Bone-ness of today’s collection: All the brand’s key themes were fused here, cogently and with a ton of polish.” [Style.com]
• “Perhaps, in between designing collections for women and men, kick-starting an ever-growing accessories division, and pursuing a global expansion that’s going at a rapid clip, Rag & Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright could write a quick how-to guide on successful brand building. But since they probably don’t have the time for that, let me do it for them here instead. Their message would likely boil down to this: Know Who You Are, Know What You Can Do, Then Just Do It. Neville and Wainwright clearly already know all of this, because they did just do it, if their incredibly strong, persuasively focused, and brilliantly direct-in-its-appeal fall collection is anything to go by.” [Vogue.com]
• “This is a collection that’s bound to take off.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “It was a fantastic collection–sleek, modern and sexy.” [WWD]
