Trade Review"McNairy prefers to focus his creative efforts on the intersection of new-wave streetwear and traditional menswear-a street crossing where, if it were a real place, McNairy would be mayor." (Review of McNairy's spring 2015 menswear show). -- Style.com "Mark is a rare gem that was found in the sediments of southern soil. He has incredible taste and tone-and he's a friend." -- Pharrell Williams "What makes Mark's vision work is that he is, at his core, classic. He understands the rules, protocol, and tradition. Then he turns it all on its ear. That, for me, is the hallmark of a genius." -- Nick Wooster "I've long admired Mark for his subversive take on preppy. He's one of the few designers who is able to mash up tradition with street references and conceptual ideas successfully." -- Andy Spade "...a quick, fun read for anyone wanting a no-B.S. look at men's style." -- John Zientek, Gear Patrol "one of the most authoritative, educational, and gut-splittingly funny books about the do's and don'ts of men's style...McNairy is pretty f-king brilliant!" -- Jeffrey Feiner, New York Journal of Books "Mark McNairy doesn't care what anyone thinks, and the menswear designer's devil-may-care attitude is encapsulated masterfully in his newest tome ... " -- -Zachary Weiss, New York Observer "F**k Ivy and Everything Else" is a cheeky guide to men's style filtered through a hip, crazy-quilt lens." -- Jacob Gallagher, Wall Street Journal "... a richly illustrated, easy-to-understand, straightforward style guide for the multi-tasking, attention-deficit-disorder crowd that doesn't take anything (including itself) too seriously and dispenses wardrobe wisdom the way an older brother...might." -- Adam Tschorn, Los Angeles Times "A masterclass in style...how to dress and act like a modern gentleman, illustrated... There's a lot to learn, which isn't surprising given McNairy's status as one of America's foremost menswear tastemakers." -- --Cillian O'Connor, Fashionbeans.com
