Cool Hunting
The second season of The Countdown, Refinery29's video series featuring profiles on important names in fashion, premiered yesterday 22 January 2008 in collaboration with MySpace Fashion. The series visits five influential independent designers in their studios as they prepare for New York Fashion Week 2008.
The first episode's subject is none other than Thom Browne and includes an interview with the designer as he prepares for his circus-inspired show. "There's some things in the show that will take some very, um, multi-talented models," explains Browne while trying not to give away too much.
Future episodes will feature Shipley & Halmos discussing their upcoming collaborations over burritos, Erin Fetherston casting for her show, Band of Outsiders creating looks with their stylist and Preen at their hair and make up trials. Check Refinery29 for dates and details.

by Valery JosephThe designers behind Los Angeles-based Solid Gold Rags are sparing us the search for the perfectly worn-in t-shirt with a new line of beautifully tattered tees. Screen-prints of pop-culture icons—French singers and muses Françoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg front two of the collection's pieces—the almost criminally soft shirts. Co-founders Perry Shimon, and Oliver Kupperhe seek to create quietly personal, everyday pieces that...
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...
