TGIF Shopping: Schnayderman’s Shirtmakers Draw Inspiration From Jonah Hill And Donuts For SS15

The Swedish shirtmakers at Schnayderman’s have got food on the mind for SS15–and who can blame them? They’ve not only included a limited-edition “Donut Sprinkle” shirt on a light crisp poplin, but shot the entire look book at one of Stockholm’s most famous boutique bakeries, Le Violion Dingue. In addition, they’ve created a second limited edition shirt, this one a crowded beach print on a crisp poplin.

“Past collections drew inspiration from florists and from butchers, so for SS15 we turned our sights on the bakers,” says Joel Urwitz, co-founder and lead designer. “We are a bunch for shirt nerds looking at other people’s passions and skills and drawing inspiration from those.”

They also drew inspiration from the feisty, cocaine-snorting Donnie Azoff–portrayed by Jonah Hill in the film The Wolf Of Wall Street–creating a special shirt in tribute to the character. “I just fell in love in love with the way Costume Designer Sandy Powell dressed Jonah for this film. It reminded me of old shirts I used to wear in the ’90s and it made me curious to visit the attic and see what else I could find up there.”

Beyond the limited-editions, the remainder of the collection features suave pastels, unique all-over prints, and a heavy focus on primary colors.

What do they say to those afraid of a little color? “we were afraid of color too at first, but as we grew braver we realized that a splash of color can be really sophisticated when used with purpose and in moderation.”

For those looking to keep things a bit more old school, there’s a range of sharply-tailored classic pinpoint button downs.

There’s also classic checkered fabrics with subdued hues using Japanese bleached wash denim and soft Italian overshirts made of corduroy with real horn buttons. And of course, a whole line of semi-thick Oxford shirts in an array of seventeen color combinations.

Accutron DNA series: A modern twist on a legendary watch brand
A closer look at Accutron DNA's sleek designs and innovative features
Accutron DNA series

If you’re familiar with the Accutron watch brand, you already know about their rich history — not just in innovation, but in style. They introduced the first fully electronic watch in 1960. Throughout the 1960s, their mechanisms were used to keep time in U.S. satellites and on various NASA space missions, paving the way for the modern era of electronic and quartz timekeeping. And the brand has continued to release modern watches inspired by their rich heritage.
Design and aesthetics

Accutron continues that tradition with the Accutron DNA series, having introduced four new colors in July 2024: green, blue, orange, and red. We had the opportunity to experience the red model firsthand. Each version of the DNA line offers distinct accent combinations, adding to their individuality. While the case is stainless steel on all models, the finish and tone differ based on the chosen strap.

Vacheron Constantin marks 270 years with the steel Historiques 222
A stylish steel watch pays tribute to Vacheron
Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

To celebrate its 270th anniversary and usher in the new year, Vacheron unveiled a steel variant of the Historiques 222, a watch that dates back to 1977.

The original Historiques 222, the brainchild of Jorg Hysek, was rolled out with a pioneering design. Most watches had a sports-like look in the '70s, but the Historiques 222 changed all that, bridging two worlds with a formal and casual design. It featured an integrated bracelet and a case topped by a fluted bezel and stamped with a Maltese cross at 5 o'clock. It also featured an ultra-thin Calibre 1120 and measured 3.05 mm, making it the world’s thinnest full-rotor automatic movement at the time.
