Bartlett ’85, each of the models might well have been the paradigm of a Harvard male, stepping out the door of his final club.“It’s very much about the Ivy League,” Bartlett said of his Fall 2007 collection. “It’s about classic East Coast heritage, the button down and the cable-knit sweater, things that I remember from my fantasies about Harvard...
