Cool Hunting
Kicking-off its fifth year, Yoko Devereaux, the Brooklyn-based downtown-slash-uptown men's fashion line, just opened its very own outpost, the first in the world to carry the complete YD collection. Located in Williamsburg's burgeoning South Side, the boutique will also offer H. Frederickson for women, jewelry by In God We Trust (another Williamsburg-based designer), and Cumming, actor Alan Cumming's line of bath and body products. An eclectic interior featuring an illuminated wall of past designs, vintage wallpaper, metal, wood, and exposed brick, along with planned photography exhibits and book signings, sets the stage for a new South Williamsburg destination.

Despite the wide array of subject matter, her collections share a refined ruggedness and a rough-hewn beauty. Our favorite collection is her Alaska Series, with its antlers, rifles, bear heads and horns. Selections from the Alaska Series have recently...

With a little moxy and lots of talent, they built ironclad legacies, but established as they may be, they can't keep a stranglehold on the industry forever. Each year there are more and more lines—some good, but most…not—jumping into the ring....
Neon plastic lanyard evokes a summer camp nostalgia when counselors schooled us in the art of kitsch key-chains and friendship bracelets. But in the hands of Philip O'Sullivan, the designer of an innovative new jewelry line, these notions of yesteryear are all but a memory. Made from hiking rope, which is crafted into beautifully intricate knots and finished with gunmetal hardware, each piece is...
