Michael Bastian x Uniqlo Collection To Launch In May
From GQ:
The $20 Polo That Looks Like It Costs $200 …
By this point, collaborations between high-end fashion designers and low-cost megabrands are as expected as overzealous high-fives in beer commercials. But the polo shirts created for Uniqlo by Michael Bastian, god of Americana luxe, will still have us lined up outside the store when the collection drops on May 20.
The sixteen polos check all the right boxes — rugby and Western detailing, slim-fit, bold colors, throwback Japanese patterns — but each will cost you less than a date night at Chipotle. If you’re looking to freshen up your springtime shirt supply (and you really should be), this is your wallet-friendly jackpot.

Michael Bastian Sweater Cited As Valentine’s Day Pick
This cashmere crew-neck sweater from Michael Bastian (seen below) has been selected by Style.com as one of their so-called pink picks for Valentine’s Day.
Indeed, ‘My Affair’ notes that the garment is consistent with MB’s oft-cited desire to have men step outside of their comfort zone (the sweater is pink).
