Sovereign Beck Ties by Jacob Resneck
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 parts style, one part rebellion, one part fashion - what's that add up to? Ah, who's counting...
You won't find 'em in stores, although they do show up at Pool Trade Shows from time to time. (The next one's in Vegas). So unless you're planning on eloping soon, best check 'em out online.
$90 from Sovereign Beck.

Rock N' Clothing Tees
The collectable desirability of vintage Rock and Roll t-shirts nears that of sneakers. In the case of the Rock shirts however, the thinner and closer the garment is to the end of its life the better. 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...

Needled: SkinBag
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....

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....

A.P.C. Surplus, Brooklyn
We were among the excited first today to check out A.P.C.'s latest store (and the second of their outlets worldwide) today in Brooklyn. Called A.P.C. Surplus for its flat 60% discounted prices, the Williamsburg storefront is housed in a beautiful former bank with plenty of rustic charm (i.e. it looks as if it recently caught fire). At only 600 square feet, the space feels...

Kiosk: Finland
Our friends at Kiosk have just introduced their fifth and latest collection, this time sourced from the far reaches of Finland. Like always, the Kiosk team traveled abroad to find the best everyday classics. The collection features a lot of bold retro designs and items worth it just for packaging that references both '60s graphics and Finnish folk patterns, like a simple carton of...

5 in 1 Boutique
Williamsburg's newest addition to the North 6th shopping row, studio 5 in 1, merges process and product seamlessly. The deep-set space housed in a 19th-century warehouse underwent a slew of renovations beginning last September, when graphic designer and founder, Norman Rabinovich, set out to redefine the space and his life. "I got lonely working alone and sought to create a community where people can...
