Nods to the local longshoremen are found in Rogues Gallery details. With plaids, ropes, and anchors, the designer pays tribute to the serene earthiness of the Maine coast.
A lifelong New Englander, Alex Carleton held positions at L.L. Bean, Ralph Lauren, Timberland, and Abercrombie before starting his own line, Rogues Gallery. Made of both natural and manmade materials, his men’s apparel and accessories are inspired by the outdoors. Pieces approximate the iconic tools and natural settings that surround the rogue- farmland, sails, wild animals- with designs that are weather-durable (and winter appropriate!) but meet the design sensibilities and color palette to satisfy the fashion consumer.
Rogues Gallery also includes a collection of accessories and jewelry. Recycled NASA-grade vinyl is constructed into deep tote bags using heavy twisted rope handles, also available in a leather version for a more streamlined look. Anchors, shark’s teeth, and squid tackles have been made into wearable charms and bracelets… but it’s spring’s boat boots that have got us going bananas! The hightop take on the classic leather deck shoe is as stylish and classic as it gets.
Rogues Gallery is available in New York at Barney’s, Odin, and Steven Alan.
