Michael Bastian has been a recent addition to my ever-growing pantheon of style icons. I first heard of Michael Bastian when his name was mentioned in connection with a new Gant collection. When I saw the collection I became very interested in the man behind it. And in one of life's serendipitous occurrences I happened to open a copy of Esquire and there was an article on the man himself.

'Bastian has never been shy about where his idea of good style comes from — the way his dad, a sixth-grade history teacher also named Michael ... in Levi's or five-pocket cords, flannel shirts with knit ties, navy blazers, down vests, and work boots.'
So there you have it Bastian style is classically prep and I very much look forward to seeing the fruits of his continued collaboration with GANT. Bastian is classic in his outlook but thoroughly modern in his approach. His collections are full of modern twists on classic styles and inspirations. Just like the man himself.
