This Old Thing Pleated Ties by Ami Kealoha
Adding a bit of irreverence to the necktie, these ties by This Old Thing look like something Edward Scissorhands might wear. We found the goth accessory at the new Brooklyn boutique Alter, which was founded by the same fashion duo behind This Old Thing. Made from vintage ties, the asymmetrical staggered look comes from little more than a series of simple sewn pleats but the effect is dramatic. Each tie costs $28. To order, call (+1 718 784 8818 ) or email alter [at] thisoldthing [dot] net.

John Varvatos Footwear: Spring/Summer 2008
John Varvatos' latest footwear collection takes classic archetypes and squeezes new life out of them.

Since then, he's expanded from clothes to include fragrance, skincare and (obviously) footwear. Regarding the latter, he's best...

Pencil Scarf
With nostalgic grade-school appeal, this cheeky Pencil Scarf from U.K.-based label Lazy Oaf is both in step with persistent surrealist trends in more haute fashion circles (like Marc Jacob's infamous deconstructed shoes last season) and with decidedly more lowbrow circles, like the Bacon Scarf. Sure to elicit smiles on the subway or on the street, the pencil's smirk and splash of pink eraser make...

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...

An Interview with Ryan Sovereign
We've been taken with the Sovereign Beck range of ties for some time. The Brooklyn-based company create snappy, stylish ties that mix wickedly vibrant lines with quirky, illustrated shapes. We interviewed Ryan Sovereign—one half (with William Beck) of the duo behind the label. (See CH's egg-frying, kite-flying, jam session video to get to know them both a little better visually.) What makes a good...
