Advanced Style














"Preppy is such a broad word these days. I would say try to dress more like your grandparents and less like your older siblings. Does that make sense? ... I think Ralph Lauren deserves credit for being the original Wes Anderson AND Kanye."


Wise words spoken by Ezra Koenig. Two of my life's greatest loves finally meet: Teen Vogue interviewed Vampire Weekend! It was only a matter of time, being that two of the TV web staffers graduated from Columbia, as did the fine musicians of VW.

Don't miss the rest of the interview, where Ezra says he wrote his college admission essay about Nick Drake and "young love" and likes to listen to 808s and Heartbreak while on the road. So cool.

P.S. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to touch on my recent addiction to Advanced Style, a Sartorialist for the elderly set. Both snapshots of the above adorable grandfathers were spotted there.
