Senior prom was the last time we wore a boutonniere, but a new take on the classic if oft neglected accessory might have us reconsidering. Today, Jack Spade is introducing a limited line of 24, all made by hand from fly-fishing lures—a significant improvement on that wilted carnation we bought at the grocery store. The feathered collection is the brainchild of Mordechai Rubinstein—a.k.a. Mister Mort—and it was inspired by a recent fishing excursion to the Great Lakes. So did he have any luck with the fish? "No, not so much," he says. Well, at least the trip wasn't a total waste.
