Antipodium Tote
(19 November 2007) - Poking fun at the ribs of size zero celebs, Brit/Oz fashion label, Antipodium launched their size 0 "Size Matters" skippy tote during the recent London Fashion Week. Maybe it's the drought plaguing Australia or just an eagerness to follow the non-eating trends of late, but somehow the skeletal bush kangaroo has wowed audiences from London to Leichardt with over 800 of the totes snapped...

Cavern Tees
(16 November 2007) - by Gabriel Bell Ironically named for a line so bold and bright, Los Angeles's Cavern is the creation of fashion-school friends Adam Tullie and Angeline Rivas. "When we first conjured Cavern," says Rivas, "our focus was to make solid, hand-drawn T-shirts." While the market is glutted with such wears, particularly on the West Coast, the duo was determined to distinguish themselves. "Everybody is making...

MB&F Horological Machine No.2
(14 November 2007) - Maximilian Büsser, the mastermind behind the rule-breaking HM1, recently offered me the rare privilege to have first look in person at his new child, the Horological Machine No.2, before it went public. Since going public, it's been far and wide in the blogosphere, but I think it's too amazing to not put on CH. With four dials—Jumping Hours, Concentric Retrograde Minutes, Retrograde Date and...

Azumi and David
(12 November 2007) - Surrealist, practical, funny or not, Azumi and David (A'N'D) are the types to take a theme and run with it. The pair have made both high-heeled a brogue versions of their shoe bags (what girl hasn't wished for a surface suitable for resting on dirty floors?) and have configured eyeglass frames into endless necklace arrangements, both riffing on design and fashion in one blow....

Brain Bag
(31 October 2007) - Known for stretching the fashion limits with his avant garde design for the label Undercover, Jun Takashi recently came out with this Brain Bag. An intricate knit of wool resembling the three-pound jelly structure encapsulated by the skull, it's playful but also looks mature and sophisticated and holds its own among other designer handbags. I will spare you most of the puns, but for...

Jon Pumper
(30 October 2007) - We recently checked out the launch of Sydney-based men's fashion label Jon Pumper, a fresh athletic range drawing inspiration from a fictitious character with "legendary status as a ladies man" who has been 'linked with nearly every high profile woman." Rather fittingly, the launch took place at Sydney's Deus Ex Machina, a motorbike shrine packed full of fast metal and retro moto-style threads, providing...

Daytrip Society
(26 October 2007) - by Pamela Liou When homeward-bound couple and former record executives Jessica Jenkins and Andy West set up shop in their native Kennebunkport, Maine, they brought back NYC’s high-end design sensibility and blended it with their love of nature and travel.

Portland Fashion Week
(24 October 2007) - by Valery Joseph That Portland, Oregon, is a poster-child of green values and sustainable living is hardly news. Consistently name-checked in the media and the recipient of countless awards—most recently, the honor of "Greenest U.S. City"—the Pacific Northwest town has become the urban darling of the eco-set. So, who better to celebrate the ever-increasing union between fashion and the environment? With its 4th annual...

Fetish by David Lynch and Christian Louboutin
(23 October 2007) - 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...

Paul Smith x Burton Mark XIII
(22 October 2007) - Yes, this really is snowboard gear. I know it looks incredibly traditional, but it's the second limited-edition collaboration between Paul Smith (always one of my favorites) and Burton Snowboards, and has just hit the shops. Last time they got together, in 2005, they came up with navy pinstripe-suit inspired gear straight out of the city. This time, the countryside looks like the starting point...

Threadless Select: The Future Is Feeling
(22 October 2007) - The latest from Threadless Select, today's release features The Future Is Feeling, a t-shirt and matching headband from Montreal-based artist Neil Doshi.

(22 October 2007) - Brooklyn's CompleteTechnique recently unveiled a line of jewelry pieces that take the aesthetic of urban audio to a new level. New to the collection, the range of iPod shaped pendants, or for a more classic look, Sony Walkman cassette players, elevate devices to objects of adulation.

Speckled Quail Egg Necklace
(19 October 2007) - I think I might like Stephanie Simek's latest creation even more than her Tammy Faye Eyelash necklace previously featured on Cool Hunting. Yet another eerily unusual necklace, this time she makes the pendant using an actual quail egg, which she purchases from a woman who raises quails in her backyard in Texas. Varying slightly in size but approximately 1", the entire shell is reinforced...

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Watch MBW-150
(18 October 2007) - by Jason Alan Snyder A much needed update on the MBW 100 model, Sony Ericsson recently released a better looking Bluetooth-enabled wristwatch. Vibrating call alerts, a remote control connected to your phone's music player, track identification and phone controls on the watch (mute or reject) make the MBW 150 much like the MBW 100 model, but it's designed to work with and coordinate aesthetically...

the-affair
(16 October 2007) - Out of East London, the-affair is not just another t-shirt label interested in fashion. They do a good job blending social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than the typical tee. Exploring themes like the futility of religious intolerance, Muslim Jesus (above left) just looks like another image of Jesus, but take a closer look and you'll notice that Islamic...

Ballistic Nylon Clarks
(16 October 2007) - From the trusted cobblers at Clarks comes a new and somewhat unnecessary version of their Desert Boots. Made of Ballistic Nylon, this limited edition variety can withstand shrapnel or anything else you do to it. Maintaining the flexibility and comfort Clarks are known for, the Ballistic Nylon material adds a bit more weight than the original, but at least your feet will be protected....

Ubiq Fall/Winter 2007
(16 October 2007) - Japanese brand Ubiq always comes up with head-turning, sometimes offbeat designs when it comes to their footwear. The latest 2007 Fall/Winter collection is no different. My favorites from the group have to be the Braska and Bernadette models. A mid-cut boot, the Braska (right) is not as clunky as most urban hiking alternatives. The most innovative feature is the gator-like fleece sock appended to...

dREALM Fall
(15 October 2007) - 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...

Kristen Lee/The Reform Party Shoes
(15 October 2007) - by Loryn Hatch Constructing shoes is no easy feat. As designer Kristen Lee explains, "They're the only piece of fashion that you actually walk in—they have to perform." Lee launched her women's modern-by-way-of-slightly vintage line as an answer to all the "shoes out there being designed by men for this idea of a sexy woman," she says. "I wanted to make feminine shoes with...
