I'm with the Band of Bagpipers

CALLING CARD

With his head in the ancient mills of the Scottish Highlands, and his feet in the strange forests of Los Angeles, Boy Band of Outsider's Scott Sternberg showed New York a menswear-inspired women's fall collection that moved away from the '70s suburban childhood buttondowns he's known for and into the nostalgic beauty of pre-war romance.

DC: Tell the story of your fall collecgtion in six words.
SS: Scotland breeds fine tartans, bad food.

DC: Where do you take in the nature of Los Angeles?
SS: My favorite hikes will remain a secret, but I've been enjoying Franklin Canyon and Malibu State Park lately.

DC: If the collection had a theme song, what would it be?
SS: The Gulag Orkestar, by Beirut.

DC: What should we watch right now?
SS: Godard's Masculin Feminin, Lord of the Rings, and 9 to 5, which has shown up on my TiVo somehow and I've been watching it on an obsessive loop.
