For those who consider every last detail when it comes to dressing, the elegantly stylish Gallo socks' quality and aesthetic work equally well paired with a sophisticated Jil Sander suit as with denim from Self Edge.
The Italian-made socks project a sense of personality with their bold patterns and mixing of complimentary colors. Gallo's long history of producing high-end accessories—especially durable socks with strengthened toes and heels—goes back as far back as the early 1900s, continuing today with a regimen that includes each pair passing nine quality control tests.

Using silk, cashmere, wool, cotton and linen, the pure yarns comprising the Gallo Fall/Winter 2009 collection offer superior foot dressage for everyone, with styles available for men, women and children.

Available from retailers such as Barneys New York, Gallo socks and knitwear can also be found in their brick-and-mortar shops in Europe. Check their website for a full list of locations.

by Laura NeilsonEastpak's most recent spring/summer '09 collection, a collaboration with Eley Kishimoto, may just put the middle school backpack wars of LL Bean vs. Eastpack to rest. When I was growing up, while LL Bean loyalists had the option of monogrammed initials, Eastpak carriers occasionally gained the upper hand when the company turned out splashy, limited-edition prints. If any such rivalry still exists, Eley...
