Cool Hunting
Salvor Kiosk is the new destination in New York to find Salvor's unique screenprinted tees and pillows. An online store launches today on the heels of the Soho store at 95 Spring Street that opened its doors yesterday. Located within Salvor designer and kiosk co-founder, Ross Menuez's studio, the retail space on one hand is what Menuez envisions as "a lab" to test out his more experimental work, and on the other, the retail space offers a selection of country-specific, often exclusive objects hand-picked by Menuez and the other two owners, a photographer and set designer. Featuring a new country every two to three months, the current inaugural collection features hard-to-find Japanese imports, like a dead stock cast iron tape dispenser ($48) and the elegant, multi-use bamboo steamer ($31) - both pictured, with more, after the jump.

Leading the way in grown-up street wear, Public School recently released Fall/Winter 2008, their second collection. We've been into their clean cut but somewhat edgy designs since the label launched last year; the quality materials and subtle details set them apart from the rest of the rack at Barneys or Fred Segal. Their new NY Hearts Me t-shirt (not available until next Fall 2008),...
Fresh off a smoke, Renzo Rosso sat down with us to answer a few questions about Diesel's newest and largest Planet store on swanky Fifth Avenue in NYC. Looking more Mick Jagger than his revered neighbor Armani, it's clear this store is more rock'n'roll than Rockefeller. Located at the corner of 54th Street, the doors open today, just four hours before Renzo bares his Fall...
Of streetwear pioneer Alife's many 2008 accomplishments—which include fresh collaborations (see their Lacoste Polos and the Parra x Patta sneaker for a couple of our favorites) and stores opening in Tokyo and Los Angeles—what might be the most significant for the seven-year-old brand is the introduction of their new NYC retail location, the A.R.C. Sports Store. Opened Monday directly across the street from their...
Good things come in small packages, so great things must come from what has to be the smallest store in NYC, Laura Lobdell's jewelry store in the West Village, which opened last week. I'm a longtime fan of her found object-based designs and with the store's large assortment of playful and quotidian jewelry makes it easy to find the right gift for anyone. Perfect for...
by Christene BarberichOwners of Odin and Den boutiques, Eddy Chai and Paul Birardi, are building out further, breaking ground today on their first shop just for the ladies. Called Pas de Deux, the petite boutique is right next door to Odin and offers the femme yin to its brother shop's yang. Designers like Alexander Wang and Rag & Bone are on the menu here,...
Along with the recent opening of Tretorn's first NYC store, their recently announced Autumn/Winter 2008 collection, called Gullwing, is full of shoes riffing on the preppy classic in ways we can get behind. The Skymra, for example, swaps out laces for asymmetrical elastic bands, transforming the classic silhouette of the tennis shoe into an avant-slip-on. The canvas version ($70) in bright yellow with a...
