Cool Hunting
Absolutely wonderful. Like Josh, I too have a thing for skulls, but I also have a soft spot for cupcakes as well. I think of late night runs to Magnolia Bakery and staring at Marc Jacob shoes like some pathetic lost puppy while I chomp down on a mouthful of sugary frosting... Ahem, excuse my bit of East Coast nostalgia. Johnny Cupcakes features cupcake themed clothing and accessories. Not into the cupcake crossbones t-shirt? Well, there are still plenty of other witty cupcake themed items with more to come in October for Halloween. Johnny's items are available online as well as at select boutiques (a list should be added to the website soon). And if you happen to live in or aound Hull, Massachusetts, you can go check out the new Johnny Cupcakes retail boutique.

While often accredited to '80s punk nostalgia, the lingering obsession with skulls in fashion also owes a debt to Mexico's Dia de los Muertos traditions. It's that Mexican heritage that fuels Santa Muerte's latest line of tees and jackets. Their summer 2007 collection is called Renegados, and features motifs like snakes, Frida Kahlo, religious icons, Aztec headdresses and Zapatistas. The designs stay coherent with...

For some it may be a bit early to start thinking about T-Shirts, but for me these prints are more about artistry than seasonal fashion.

Though we've loved Salvor T-shirts and pillows for a long time, it was only last week that we had the chance to meet Ross, the creative mastermind behind the brand. A man of many interesting projects, he ties them all together through his attention to graphic detail. This Fall he's introducing a few new animals to his repertoire of t-shirts. Dog Skull is printed...
LA based, The Hundreds, came up with this funky little juxtaposition. Pink and skulls... almost as luscious as pink and camouflage! Check out all the great designs in their Fall collection....
PirateMod! has all sorts of Pirate T-Shirts. I'm not sure if the pirate thing is coming back, or if it's just my mood at the moment. Anyway, here's how PirateMod thinks of themselves: We?re pirtate-a-holics. As long as it has a patch-eye, peg-leg, hook-hand, cutlass & flintlock, has a parrot that squaks "pieces of eight!" or strikes the colors of the skull & crossbones?WE...
Launching exclusively at vogue Parisian shop Colette next week, the BR 01 Airborne by aviation watch experts Bell & Ross is a chic tribute to U.S. Airborne paratroopers in memory of D-Day. The first to reach a danger zone and the first to go down, the Airborne division of WWII developed the motto "Death from Above," which they conjoined with a skull talisman to...
