Cool Hunting
In a neighborhood jammed with antique stores DARR stands out for its unusual inventory on Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue. Among eclectic furniture, busts and many offbeat cabinet-of-curiousity-like items (turtle shells, whale bones, etc.), we found this doctor's bag (click on images for detail). Made of walrus skin, the bag is fairly large, durable, and perfectly worn—very au courant for the enduring neo-19th century look of late. Popular with film sets and photo shoots, the bag is only available to rent.
Curated and owned by Hicham Benmira and Brian Cousins, a series of imposing mounted taxidermy heads, including a huge bison, buck and moose, welcome you into DARR. The rest of the shop has similarly inspired items If you're looking for men's clothing with the same aesthetic and feel visit their men's clothing shop across the street, Hollander & Lexer.

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,...
