Faculty: Scott Sternberg

-I've mentioned a number of times that Band of Outsiders is one of my favorite labels. With this little bit of insight into the man behind the line, I'm beginning to see why brand's clothes are so spot-on. Sternberg took part in Details' regular feature "Rules of Style," and had some humorous advice to offer, most of which I found myself agreeing with.

-From the feature, "Talking about what brand you're wearing is gay in the bad way."

-I loved this line because I once tried to write a post dissecting how Details magazine itself was indeed, gay in a the bad way. I never posted the piece because I figured it would offend a lot of people who can't discern between the connotations of gay. Sternberg is apparently over that fear.

-More great advice, "Rabid atheism does not lead to attractive or acceptable cocktail-party conversation. You know who you are and you need to chill. We get it, okay? God is for dummies. Now shut your hole."

Faculty: Vito Schnabel

-When we started this site, one of our top priorities was to highlight the work of people who are our own age. Either we aren't trying hard enough or you guys need to step up the creativity, because, besides our recent piece on Asher Roth, the college set hasn't been getting much love.
-This month's Details has an excellent piece on Vito Schnabel, the 22-year old NYC art dealer who has been all over the place lately. Schnabel is the son of Julian: modern art giant, director of Basquiat and last year's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and pink real estate enthusiast. Nepotism aside, Vito has been holding his own as an art dealer and gallery curator, and has been romantically linked to Elle Macpherson. And that beer he's holding? He's barely old enough to drink it. Fortunately, Schnabel shares our optimism regarding today's young creative types. He tells Details, "I think that we are living in an interesting time, in which people really do care about what younger people think." Let's hope so. more
