Gathered in a small conference room were Kenric McDowell, an artificial-intelligence expert from Google, and several Philharmonic officials, chief among them Chad Smith, the orchestra's chief operating officer and de facto head of programming, a man whose preppy demeanor belies a reputation as one of the most innovative figures in classical music.
The offerings he cited ran the proverbial gamut from Thom Browne's intellectualized homage to that humble preppy staple, seersucker (which the designer rendered in the form of little boy shorts sets, skirts worn with codpieces and voluminous trousers with panniers at the hip), to Emily Bode's poetic handmade garments patched from vintage quilts.
" In the fullest account of the event—oddly, written to his new tailor, the owner of the preppy Andover Shop, in Cambridge, whom he'd only just met—Ellison relates, "It's a drag and Lord knows when we'll be able to have the junk hauled away, the chimney collapsed and the hole filled in.

Stanley's vision for the home's picturesque screened porch, which is featured in the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens, totally diverged from her usual aesthetic: "I think because I'm so muted in L.A., and the Hamptons, I feel, is so colorful and preppy, I wanted to kind of go in that direction," she said.

But people also need to recognize that the "profile" we're being given of Kavanaugh — a creature of privilege who drank a lot in college and sometimes struck other people as a jerk — isn't the narrow profile of a rapist, and isn't even the somewhat more expansive profile of a particular kind of arrogant preppy.

In her book The Color Revolution, design historian Regina Lee Blaszczyk finds one of the earliest moments of pink's emergence in, of all places, the preppy men's retailer Brooks Brothers, which in 1949 opened a department store just for women on 5th Avenue and introduced a popular line of pink blouses that got major publicity in the fashion press.
The broad range of her artistic and cultural interests is on display with a program that includes deconstructed square dancing in "Country Dances" (1976); the busy, complicated and colorful "Brahms Paganini" from 1980, with six dancers elegantly freaking out in preppy pastels and a long, riveting solo; and a new work made to sections from Beethoven's Opus 130.

I wrote a lot about how the preppy with the striped watchband transformed his blue-blooded Yale background to seem more red-blooded Texas, putting Tabasco sauce on his tuna fish sandwiches, wearing cowboy boots emblazoned with "GB," listening to the Oak Ridge Boys and Reba McEntire, and pretending that pork rinds were his favorite snack rather than popcorn.
As Elena, she draws on some of her previous characters—the preppy pep of Elle Woods; the competitive, neurotic ambitiousness of Tracy Flick; the ritzy obliviousness of Evelyn Williams; the wealthy alpha vibe of Madeline Mackenzie—the way Dr. Frankenstein drew on dead bodies: She has created a new and startling monster, a composite with familiar parts.
There was a pageant queen from North Carolina, a Jersey girl who taught me at least three new terms for "vagina," a preppy tenor who could put on a superb lockjaw, and there was James-Allen Ford, a Louisiana native who split his free time, the first month at college, between Bible study and rehearsal with us, Mixed Company.
We wanted a stuffy quality to her, and I turned to the preppy trends of the time, so that she's got that boucle jacket on, a bit more closed off, very little skin exposed and much more about the clothing wearing her than her wearing the clothing — which is something I tried to achieve with our other girls.
In an unabashedly preppy ensemble, the blue face of his watch picking up the stripes in his tailored shirt and navy sweater draped over his shoulders, Espert was riding the Liemba because he was interested in how things work in other countries—experiencing transport, he told me, is one of the best ways to learn a place.
Lounging on a blanket in Central Park, they're two visual opposites: Sweet, ditzy Cecile wears a preppy uniform of green and pink, complete with a plaid knee-length skirt and a sweater wrapped around her shoulders; Kathryn's in all-black vintage (skirt suit, round sunglasses, giant floppy hat), as if to spite the bright, beautiful New York summer unfolding around them.
You're the One That I Want There have been countless think pieces on how sad and disappointing it is that Sandy changed herself for a man, but what many Grease critics glaze over is the fact that Danny showed up at the senior carnival in a preppy sweater ready to do the same for Sandy, and either way, that's love, folks.
Over Mr. Morgenthau's nine terms, his office conducted 3.5 million criminal prosecutions and oversaw a huge reduction in crime, and Ms. Van Lindt enjoyed a behind-the-scenes view that prompted stories about the "Preppy Killer" case, the John Lennon assassination, the Central Park jogger case, Bernhard Goetz — "I thought he acted in self-defense, but then what do I know," she said.
But now hit pause for a moment, because if you read this and then go look me up on Wikipedia (actually, please don't) you'll see that I also attended something that could be reasonably described as a prep school — so who am I, exactly, to declare that there was some huge distance between myself and the Kavanaugh types, or any other preppy clique?
Keen-eyed visitors to the restaurant will notice, in an array of school lockers, replicas of such props as the brick-sized cellphone favored by the preppy bad boy Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and bottles of caffeine pills like those abused in the series' most infamous episode by the leggy egghead Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley, years before she abused herself in "Showgirls").
I'm enchanted by odd structures, so some shelves hold my collection of unusual books — like Michael Lesy's "Wisconsin Death Trip"; Edward Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" (terrible title, great book); Lisa Birnbach's "The Official Preppy Handbook"; Leanne Shapton's "Important Artifacts and Personal Property"; Edward Luttwak's "Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook"; and one of my favorites, "A Pattern Language," by Christopher Alexander and others.
But a great many of the people who populate those schools, a great many of the people who complain about preppy creeps and rich jocks even as they try to imitate them, a great many of the people whose essays on What Kavanaugh Represents are populating elite-media websites these days, are much more like the "elites and legacies" than their self-image permits them to admit.
The alt-lite Proud Boys, the brainchild of Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, is for instance a sort of white-male-supremacist fraternity for overgrown nutjobs who like to doll up in fascist preppy drag and get their kicks infiltrating Black Lives Matter and other social-justice protests, taunting people and starting fights (it's reputedly an initiation rite to "kick the crap out of an antifa," or anti-fascist).
Otherwise, in the absence of cameras, how are we to remember trips to the bar of justice by the likes of the boss of bosses John Gotti; David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam"; John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman; the "preppy killer" Robert E. Chambers; the accused drug lord El Chapo; or, for that matter, Donald J. Trump on the witness stand for his New Jersey Generals in a 1986 civil suit against the National Football League?
The desire for looks back at crimes of the past has never been stronger, so it was only a matter of time before the case of Robert Chambers, also known as the "preppy murderer," who was convicted in 1986 of murdering Jennifer Levin in Central Park, made it to TV. The case drew extensive media attention, and now, a new docuseries on AMC sheds light on media coverage of the trial (it was involved extensive victim shaming), the trial itself, and where Chambers is now, after his first jail sentence.
Like some kind of Richard Scarry-on-acid thing, the frame suddenly contains: three striped party hats (one placed upon Yang's head, rubber string snapped into place), a cake (presented by a woman on bended knee), a stream of people carrying silver balloons reading "HAPPY," another stream of people in party hats carrying "BIRTHDAY" balloons, two people in "MATH" ballcaps, a glove shaped like a unicorn, a man in a black T-shirt reading "$1K" in gold letters, at least one American flag scarf, and the tall aide who follows Yang in preppy quarter-zips wielding a cake cutter.
