Thursday night, GQ editor in chief Jim Nelson hosted a cocktail party at Ago to celebrate this year’s CFDA menswear nominees. Nelson donned a Michael Bastian suit for the occasion but admitted feeling pangs of guilt for not incorporating all the night’s honorees into his wardrobe. “But you know what?” he reasoned. “You can’t think too much about what you’re wearing. That’s Fashion Rule #17.” Intrigued, we pumped the dapper editor for more pearls of menswear wisdom. “I’m not a fan of murses [that's man purses, in case you're not up on your fashion lingo]. But then again you’re talking to a guy who can’t give up his backpack. It’s Bottega Veneta, so I guess it’s actually a luxury pack.” Across the bar, Michael Bastian waxed philosophical over the fact that he and Thom Browne have the same “weird eighties angular haircut.” “I thought I was really rocking something new until I saw Thom. Stuff’s in the air, you know? If you’re in this business it’s your job to be tuned in.” And what were the tuned-in folk planning for after Monday night’s CFDA? “I’m going to celebrate whether I win or lose,” said Browne. “I’m probably going to do some crystal meth and stay up all night,” deadpanned Nelson.
