Unhappy with the state of blue jeans in the world, London prep school chums Marcus Wainwright and Nathan Bogle launched Rag & Bone in 2001. Turning their backs on scuba-diving and modeling, respectively, Wainwright and Bogle were motivated to make “well-tailored, dark-washed denims”. Their quest brought them to Tompkinsville, Kentucky, where they found a small army of unemployed Levi’s factory workers. And the rest, as they say, was history. Their unusual name, Wainwright explained, comes from “the rag and bone man, and old English guy who came ’round the neighborhood when we were kids to collect all the junky iron and rags in exchange for candy…” Mmmmkay.

When plans fell through to have their Spring 2006 collection sewn in New York, Carmen Hawk and Milla Jovovich hopped on a flight to the Ukraine with eight fabric-stuffed suitcases in tow. Two days later Carmen woke up in the hospital with food poisoning. But both former models were quick to point out the importance of “going the extra mile” in their success. The two have been friends for 13 years and launched their label in 2003.

Here’s a great explanation (for guys) why women and sex go together like hand and glove:

“It is important that men understand something about women when it comes to their clothes. Women have favorites—that is, garments that they treasure because they feel beautiful whenever they wear them. You should make the effort to notice which garments those are, and remember to compliment her when she wears them. But a woman is also perpetually hunting for the next garment that will allow her to discover something new about herself. By way of her attire, a woman is in a continuous dialogue with her environment, including the attention of both men and other women. Imagine that your wife has never been approached by a forty-something Italian man in a linen suit, who presents her with a single red rose and says “Che bella” to her. On the day that such a thing happens, much of the credit will go to the garment that is most likely in her mind to have been the cause. It may be a pair of shoes. It may be her hairdo. But credit will be assigned, and thereafter she will believe in the power of the artifact, which is of course imaginary, but nevertheless necessary to permit her to feel the way she felt just after she discovered she was, in fact, the sort of woman who might at any moment be handed a single red rose by an Italian man in a linen suit — read the rest of Clothing for Sex
