Now Musing | Ray Petri's Enduring Style






A couple of years ago, I wrote “Buffalo Soldier,” a story in T magazine about the stylist Ray Petri, who was a driving force in men's wear throughout the 1980s. During the spring 2007 shows, labels as varied as Junya Watanabe, Prada and Y-3 sent Petri-worthy looks down their runways; I felt that his legacy (Petri died of AIDS in 1989) had become an almost inexhaustible font of inspiration for designers.


Not to toot my own horn, but I was definitely right: Petri
