John Malkovich's Technobohemian
Malkovich started his menswear label,toms outlet, Technobohemian, only four years ago. His first, Uncle Kimono, ended after a legal dispute with his Italian partners (a deeply authentic fashion experience). So Malkovich has been in the game long enough to forget precisely how many collections he's designed - "this is my eighteenth, or maybe nineteenth" - and he knows his stuff. He reels off the name of his fabric suppliers and says he is just off to Prato, near Florence, and then Lake Como to select materials for spring/summer 2014.
He even talks about the economic decline of the Italian artisan fabric industry and - accurately - about the skulduggery of some designers's work posturing as "Made in Italy" when it isn't at all. When he's designing,isabel marant sneakers, he says: "I just start with a pencil and paper. I don't want something too trendy, too fashion-forward. I don't want to make something I consider a regular person couldn't wear with blue jeans. But I don't want to make something that other people make, either - like a skinny black suit in a shiny material that you can buy anywhere."
The result,isabel marant sneakers, looking back at the past few seasons,toms outlet, is a collection of menswear that has only the odd unconventional aside - there a lot of collarless shirts and the occasional extraneous button on high-revered jackets. The oomph is delivered by those Malkovich-commissioned Italian fabrics: kaleidsocope prints on ties and scarves, and richly intricate detailing in the jackets,toms outlet, trousers,isabel marant sneakers, and coats. "I want to make the yarn,isabel marant sneakers, or the structure,isabel marant sneakers, or the texture something that's different, and presents a different choice."
Malkovich says he's been interested in clothes all his life. "I know fashion can be intensely goofy, but it is something I've always taken pretty seriously."

As well as collecting fabrics and fashion, he used to model - for Prada, Armani,Bill Robinson and others - and says that when he first started, his fellow thesps thought he was nuts. "It was kind of like 'Are you out of your mind? You're supposed to be a serious actor.' But I don't know,isabel marant sneakers, if you were really serious, why would you be an actor anyway?"
Technobohemian, named after a phrase he liked in a novel, is so niche it lists no British stockists on its website - although you'll soon be able to purchase it online.
The clothes, concedes Malkovich,toms outlet, are expensive - "but that's because the people who makethese materials need to bepaid a living wage". How deeply refreshing it is to encounter a celebrity who isn'tcynically trading on his status to make a few quid in the rag trade.
