This Week at Refinery29 by Josh Rubin

This week at Refinery29 , get an offbeat tour of the Lower East Side, courtesy of Some Odd Rubies' Odessa Whitmire. Then head over to Brooklyn where the designers known as Octopi put their art school pedigree to good use, sculpting dynamic clothing for the young Williamsburg set. Swedish import H.Frederiksson's clothing has travelled all over the world on the backs of famous collaborators such as the Scissor Sisters. And finally we end in Paris, where 50 years ago the famous Chanel 2.55 bag revolutionized the way we look at purses, becoming the fashion icon it is today.

Carter, and Shara Porter—designers with a homespun aesthetic much like the In God We Trust label. And as for the much–loved In God We...
