Cool Hunting
Our friends at thehappycorp want you to know just how good you look. To prove it, they created You Look Great Today, an assemblage of orchestrated thumbs-up photos that anyone can contribute to. To get involved, you first need to purchase their signature reversible hand-cards (one side is for pale skin, the other for darker skin). You can order a pack of 25 for $6 from their store. Once you pop it out, go find great-looking people and stage the most dramatic shot (if you lack the creative gene, they offer tips). Then just upload your photo to the site—no need to create a profile or anything.
What we like most is the user contributed aspect of the site. We enjoy the Sartorialist, Street Peeper and the Face Hunter, but everyone has a voice at You Look Great Today, making for a diverse compilation of styles and oftentimes some great humor. Have a look for yourself.

The brainchild of Shawn Liu and Danny Wen, two New York-based...
Spring Court, the iconic French tennis shoes, have been available stateside through select stores and boutiques for some time now, but the recent launch of their U.S. website makes it easier to find retailers and to determine if it's worth the trip. For the SS08 collection, which debuted along with the site, Spring Court stays true to its history of simple but functional design,...
Polaroid nerds of the world unite! Well it's no secret that I'm crazy in love with Polaroids. So as you might imagine, I was thrilled to bits to come across Polanoid—which it seems was created especially for Polaroid geeks like me.

A perfect example of the strange and creative works that can come out of a collaboration between very different artists is the recent project by the filmmaker David Lynch and the shoe designer Christian Louboutin, both absolute masters of their medium. We discovered "Fetish" at Design Art London where these extraordinary shoes by Louboutin and their erotic photographic counterparts by Lynch were on show...
