Fall 2009 Needs

Alexander McQueen, Fall 2009 A black-tie-friendly flak jacket? Call it a must-have for the man who loves the smell of napalm in the evening.

Raf Simons, Opening Ceremony, Robert Geller, Camper Together The protective plate over the heart in Raf's immaculately tailored car coat is for decoration only. Same goes for the bullet-proof-looking quilting on this OC shirt. That said, we suspect these Camper boots could inflict some serious damage if necessary.

Tim Hamilton Redux, DKNY, John Varvatos, Junya Watanabe Tim Hamilton's leather jacket—revived from his earlier collections for the best-of-basics new Redux line—fits like a second skin. Need a bit more protection? Try this well-priced puffer vest from DKNY.


Bess, Prada You might go so far as to say these are both on trend and practical. For instance, you could use the Prada shoes to turn an old pair of cap-toes into brogues. Prada shoes, $990, select Prada Boutiques, prada.com; Bess boots, $320, American Rag, 160 South La Brea Ave., L.A., (323) 935-5134 amrag.com

Duckie Brown, Fall 2009 The Duckies claimed they were going for something sporty with this collection. We're going to assume this guy plays goalie.

R.I.P. Derrion Albert

"It should've never happened, but it's never too late," said Rose Braxton, great-aunt of 16-year-old Derrion Albert. "It's time for healing to start getting our communities together so this won't happen to anyone else's child ever again."

Four suspects have been charged with first-degree murder in the September 24 killing of Albert, and police say they are looking for three more people in connection with the beating captured on videotape.

Prosecutors said that Albert, an honors student, was an innocent bystander who ended up in the middle of a street fight between two factions of students from Fenger High School.
The incident caught the attention of the White House, too.

The footage of the incident, which shows Albert being hit by a railroad tie, "is "chilling" and one of the most shocking things "you can ever see," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday.

President Obama's concern over the killing didn't provide additional comfort to the family, "but I'm glad that it's out there so everyone can see it and they know that, yes, this is happening," Braxton said.

"This was vicious. How do you just come out and decide that you're going to attack someone with a two-by-four?" Braxton said.
