Cool Hunting
New York's West Village has just gotten a sartorial upgrade, English style, with the recent opening of the first Oliver Spencer boutique in the US. The boutique is a joint venture between Spencer and the team behind New York's hip Odin boutiques.
For over a decade, English gents and international superstars have had the privilege of donning Spencer's sleek, modern look. Now his latest line of menswear is finally available on this side of the pond. The store's design is a direct extension of the collection's unique aesthetic combining traditional English craftsmanship with minimal 21st century silhouettes and trends. Spencer himself hopes to teach American men to be more adventurous and embrace their dormant dandyism by embracing an eclectic theme for their wardrobes rather than choosing pieces that all come from the same label. To that end, the store also carries some vintage mail bags, several English brands found exclusively in the U.S. like Linda Farrow sunglasses, Bill Amberg leather bags and Folk Shoes, as well as clothing from Nice Collective, Rogues Gallery, Rag and Bone and Engineered Garments. More pictures after the jump.

by Laura Neilson The much-anticipated Green Depot finally opened its doors three weeks ago on Manhattan's Bowery. Given the current economic climate (and the grim predictions concerning consumer spending freezes), it seems pretty risky for any new retail venture start up, but environmentally-focused stores/products seem to be one of the few exceptions. Reuters recently reported that despite the despite the recession, four out of five...
Joining the design elite on Soho's Greene Street, droog opened their multi-story NYC showroom, shop and exhibition space yesterday. Dutch designers Studio Makkink & Bey lent a hand with the interior, a space that blurs the lines between objects, store fittings and architecture with its House of Blue concept, which allows customers the opportunity to purchase parts or fixtures, like a working chimney, and even...
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...
by Kelsey Keith Tucked between a check cashing service and a vacant lot on First Avenue in New York's East Village is a tiny storefront with funny hours. Sometimes closed at noon and occasionally rocking out past midnight, it's a sure sign that Linhardt isn't your typical jewelry store. Owner Lisa Linhardt is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to design, with a resume listing photography,...
by Rachel Felder Just when it seemed that NYC's Bleecker Street couldn't squeeze in another stylish boutique, it has. Diptyque, the French brand best known for blissfully scented candles, recently opened its first Big Apple store, just down the block from Marc Jacobs' ever-expanding cluster of stores and Bleecker's other landmark, Magnolia Bakery. Originally intended as a pop-up store, Diptyque will now be a permanent...
by Tamara Warren McNally Jackson is your average neighborhood bookstore—with a neighborhood that extends well past its Prince Street hub in New York City. The independently-owned store opened its doors in December 2004 and has become well-trodden browsing grounds for book lovers of a particular variety: independent, worldly and curious. Part of its irrefutable charm is the adjoining teashop, where literary events are held on...
