It isn’t rare for fashion bloggers to influence product made by the designers they cover. Bryanboy spawned a Marc Jacobs bag, after all. But I’m more interested in what Michael Williams, blogger behind A Continuous Lean, is doing in terms of collaborations. He recently produced a small run of oxford-cloth Indian madras shirts in conjunction with Gant.
Alas, they’ve already sold out, but I hope this portends a second run, as well as other collaborative pieces. Beyond that, his online store is a treasure trove of nostalgia merch, featuring collabs with Billykirk, Cole, Rood & Haan Co. and Mark McNairy. Here’s the link. —Paul Dexter
