Needled: SkinBag by Ami Kealoha
Skin-deep fashion gets literal with these synthetic skin accessories made by French artist Olivier Goulet. Marisa wrote about them today on Needled, pointing out that the totes, purses, laptop sleeves, belts, and bracelets can be customized with tattoos and piercings. She also explains how the creepy chic aesthetic's purposefully aged-looking material is intended to reference natural "instinctive" bodies versus the artificial.

A Mötley Crüe tee, owned by a slightly chubby and sadly misunderstood teenager, only to be used later by her mother to clean toilets, simply adds to the...

Sovereign Beck Ties
The creation of longtime collaborators Ryan Sovereign and William Beck, since 2005 this fledging Brooklyn-based creator of silk ties has injected some fashion and style in the oft-staid accessory that is the neck-tie. Graduates of RISD and Industrial Design & Sculpture, these two young designers have crafted a neck tie that the wearer feels like he's getting away with something when he dons. Two...

Liberty Boots
I really had no expectation that this weekend's trip to Dallas, TX would include finding something to post to the site. I stumbled on a store in the West Village called Cowboy Cool filled with all sorts of rocker cowboy gear. These $2250 skull boots caught my attention (obviously). Handmade by Canada's Liberty Boot Company, they're apparently the brand of choice by celebrities galore....

Fabia Bercsek Mini Locks for Papaiz
Brazilian designers are learning the importance of branding outside the apparel world. The limited-edition Band-Aids that Alexandre Herchcovitch (who already has a signature linens line in his pocket) designed for Johnson & Johnson and released a few weeks ago saw people practically looking forward to getting boo-boos in order to have an excuse to wear the stylish cut protectors. Now São Paulo designer Fabia...
