Carroll’s Men’s Shop dressing the public since 1947

By Keisha P. Crabtree 2 weeks ago
  • Carroll’s Men’s Shop opened in 1947 and was bought by Steve and Nancy Murray in 1984. Steve started working there in 1967.
  • Spring is a busy time with tuxedo rentals for weddings and proms. They also do varsity jackets.
  • Murray is encouraged by the revitalization he’s seen of Main Street over the past few years, including remodeling to the building he’s in.
  • Over the years, Murray has seen the focus of the store and fashion change from formal wear to causal clothes.

These shops could not compete with the low overheads and big data of e-commerce, and their in-person shopping experiences were nothing compared to the convenience, breadth of choice and ease of use that online shopping provided.

Shop The Second Wales Bonner Adidas Collection That Arrives Today

By Keisha P. Crabtree 3 weeks ago

The much-anticipated return of the Wales Bonner and Adidas Originals partnership is here.

After the first collaboration, released last fall, all but sold out, many have their sights set on scooping something up from this next collection. Entitled “Essence,” the second collaboration was first teased at Paris men’s fashion week in September 2020—when Adidas pieces were seamlessly interwoven into the Wales Bonner’s spring 2021 collection.

On joining forces with Adidas, designer Grace Wales Bonner explains that the uncertainty brought on by the global health crisis allowed her time for “reflection and working on what feels most essential for the business,” she says. “Designing this collection has been about refining, to the purest elements, the Wales Bonner world and wardrobe.”

Known for her thoughtful approach and craftsmanship, Bonner has consistently illustrated how fashion can communicate complex ideas. “An essential point to my practice is research. I see that as the foundation
