Sweet Apple’s Tim Parnin Remembers: Paul Smith Clothes

sweetapplelogoSweet Apple is more than just a question of Cobra Verde’s John Petkovic and Tim Parnin having some teenage kicks with Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis and Witch’s Dave Sweetapple. It’s the answer to the heartache, grief and depression that led Petkovic to drive from Cleveland to Vermont, where he rediscovered the healing powers of rock ‘n’ roll with some help from his friends. Love & Desperation (Tee Pee) isn’t a fountain of youth, but it’ll do in a pinch: a combination of stomping ’70s arena-rock riffs, Petkovic’s well-honed T Rex swagger and Mascis’ hard-wired guitar leads servicing lurid tales of sex, drugs and vampires. The members of Sweet Apple will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with Petkovic.

Parnin: Do you wanna dress like a million bucks for half a million bucks? I love the clothes from this British designer—he has rockin’ cuts, prints and fabrics, dressed up—but with a wink-wink and humorous sensibility. Wearing Paul Smith is like putting on a superhero outfit: You look great and are ready to kick some ass. I own a few pairs of his checkered and argyle socks and a watch that is gold and pink. If you want to ditch the cat-hair-covered sweater for one night and step out looking like George Harrison, try some Paul Smith duds.

You really shouldn’t be paying any clothes designer any money to help you achieve the poindexter look pictured here. That’s just foolish. All you need to do is throw in that old tape of Revenge of the Nerds, study intently, and you’re good to go.
