Cool Hunting
Along with the recent opening of Tretorn's first NYC store, their recently announced Autumn/Winter 2008 collection, called Gullwing, is full of shoes riffing on the preppy classic in ways we can get behind. The Skymra, for example, swaps out laces for asymmetrical elastic bands, transforming the classic silhouette of the tennis shoe into an avant-slip-on. The canvas version ($70) in bright yellow with a gray band is one of those perfectly harmonious colorways and will likely become a summer wardrobe staple.
The 1300 square-foot new Soho shop, only the second flagship worldwide (the first opened in D.C. last year), is something to get excited about too, featuring Tretorn's apparel and footwear lines, as well as bikes, boats and other "lifestyle" products. See more images (store photos by Dustin Ross) after the jump.

A new hybrid retail concept mixing fashion and art, walking into FAVA (FAshion/Vintage/Art) feels more like walking into somebody's warmly-lit living room. At a recent opening, a live acoustic blues guitarist set the tone while strangers wandered shoulder-to-shoulder, inspecting eccentric dresses and looking at art for sale. In spite of my doubts, I was quickly reassured when Meda, the owner and founder of the...
One of my new favorite stores in Vancouver (well one of my new favorites anywhere, actually) is Roden Gray, a recent addition to Vancouver's trendy Gastown neighborhood. Roden Gray maintains a carefully-selected range of clothing, shoes, bags and accessories from labels that bring sophistication to casual menswear such as Wings + Horns, Filson, Nice Collective and Obedient Sons. My particular favorites on a recent...

By Christina PanasJust five years after opening their flagship Williamsburg boutique, and on the heels of a Park Slope outpost, Oak co-owners Louis Terline and Jeff Madalena are making that first East River crossing with sleek new digs in NoLita, a shop that opens officially on Monday. "It happened quickly," says Terline, when asked how long the latest store had been in the works. "This...
Tretorn opened its first stand alone boutique yesterday in Georgetown, D.C, its location a coincidental nod to its preppy history. Using a custom modular display system shaped like the Swedish flag, in addition to their minimalist footwear, the Swedish label will also offer their rubber boots, their new line of men's apparel and accessories.

With the recent drop in temperature I've been looking for some Fall gear. We already told you about dREALM and 38 Regular, a small shop in the East Village section of New York that hand-stitches all their pieces in the city, often right in the back of their small shop. It's a destination for finding truly original and high quality items that are sure...
