The show is #2 globally right now on MX. A few of you have written in that the audio is low on Richard in some spots. I think I can fix that further for Part 2 (I sent the show to an engineer). Some of you have asked why the show is on MX. …
Here’s the show. Here’s the ranking:
J. Press presented the inaugural broadcast. Can you even imagine? It was amazing to be in the J. Press store in Manhattan, watching and recording Richard Press hold court and none other in our genre can. You can listen to the show here. I broke the show up into two parts, next part to launch …
It was a remarkable night. Unlike Richard’s first show with me, this one was ALL Ivy. It’ll be posted on Monday. I will say this though. My daughter is a giant Richard Press fan, and asked to come down to see him again. She and her boyfriend were once again the only teens …
So a few things. First, a giant thank you. This podcast was supposed to get going earlier but family medical stuff made that impossible. But the advertisers and sponsors have been just amazing and understanding. I will be at J. Press in Manhattan at around 5, we get going around 6, wrap it up around …
Everybody is watching the meltdown – and having bounced back from my own meltdown, I have empathy. My wife never slept with Pete Davidson after we split up, and until you walk a mile in those designer sneakers, you can’t judge. But you CAN protest the people around him. Does no one love this man …
The first Ivy-Style Podcast. I am so jazzed (see what I did there?) to be the host of the very first Ivy-Style podcast, at J. Press Manhattan, with no less than Richard Press as my first guest. And you can be there. First, if you are not on their email list, do yourself a favor …
First, before we go any further, here’s the link. Click it, it is going to open another tab. Keep that tab open and if you don’t get back here, I am fine with that. Much to my amazement, G. Bruce Boyer is a friend of mine. It started when I reached out to him just …
That tryptophan thing, according to the Sleep Foundation, is a myth. Two sales that look very good I wanted to bring to your attention: First, Jay Butler is running 20% OFF sitewide… you want to take a look. If you want to see Ivy applications of these great shoes, go here. I have had them …
Editor’s Note: Very grateful this Thanksgiving for all of you, and for Mitchell, the author of this post. Very recently, the internet was buzzing over a photo of supermodel “it girl” Gigi Hadid wearing what fashion editors dubbed “Grandpacore”. The overall aesthetic (I know John hates that term) is retro, yet thoroughly cutting-edge contemporary, and …
Yes, it’s a book about clothes but it is written by, as G. Bruce Boyer said on this site, “… a national treasure.” So while the clothes matter, the voices are the joy of Threading The Needle II, available here, by Richard Press. And this book is FULL of joy. If you are in …
Meet Paul Carsola. He served from 1991 to 2015. ” I was 4 years active Army, 3 years Army Reserve, and 17 years Air Force National Guard.” Mr. Carsola did me the favor of showing me Medals Of America. The company was founded in 1976, and today is led by Lee Foster, who …
Editor’s Note: “Stokes” (Heinz) is the man. The Holiday Season is almost upon us ladies and gentlemen! Given the anticipated uptick in related social occasions, and after two+ pandemic years, it’s time to revisit how we might leave a favorable impression in our wake. Here’s a hint. You call it corn, we call …
This week the Ivy-Style FB group reached a milestone – 9,000 members. All interacting, supporting, admiring, laughing, buying, learning. I got a note the other day that Ivy-Style.com is “the most civilized corner of the internet” and I would include our FB group in that corner. There are two moderators who work every day to …
(That’s Cornell in the photo.) My first interview with Richard Press is in the top 5 global podcast ranking for both #talk and #interview. (source: M-X Radio). Tell me again that Ivy is dead? You can listen to the show here if you haven’t already. The Amazing Tom sent me this collaboration …
Editor’s note: after the show I typically do a wrap up post on FB, but since this was Richard Press, I thought it would make sense to publish it here as well. If you have not heard my first interview with Richard, you can listen to it here. Again, and please read this line before …
The blurb: Episode 17 John talks to Richard Press, a friend of Frank Sinatra, who sings Jimmy Durante and Al Jolson, and who is a gifted storyteller who also happens to be the “patriarch of the most important family in men’s traditional fashion.’ The show opens with a Springsteen cover, the Richard takes us from …
We got some family secrets, Richard sang, and explained how he at 85 is still cool to teenagers. Editing now, will post link tomorrow. Some of your questions made it. Also, the Ivy-Style podcast, being organized, will have the balance of your fashion related questions for sure. Richard is an amazing guy.
Editor’s Note: Home From Here is a talk show that is NOT fashion centered, I will get your fashion questions on the Ivy-Style podcast, this show is more about Richard Press “the person.” Any questions you have in that regard are greatly appreciated. This Friday Richard Press will appear on Home From Here. This is …
