Cold Case

Up in the shop

Threadflip.com

Manik Singh never claimed to know much about fashion. What the Silicon Valley-based engineer did know was that his wife, Theresa, had a little closet problem — that is, a collection of unworn items clogging up the racks. But when he asked her (and other female friends) why they held on to these garments, the answer he kept hearing was: “It’s too hard to do anything else with them.” From this sprang Threadflip.com. 

It works like so: Your items are showcased via high-resolution photos, which can come from Facebook albums or Instagram streams. For those who prefer it, Threadflip offers a “white glove” service that does the photography, uploads, pricing and shipping for you. All that’s required is a request, and a box with a shipping label is delivered to your door ready to fill with those unwanted items. (source)

The fashion world has a brand new art-and-style combo. Lisa Perry has teamed with the contemporary art giant Jeff Koons to create several pieces based on the American painter and sculptor's works, including a sequined Pink Panther dress, a jacket printed with Koons' famous robot bunny, and an ice cream cone sculpted mostly from silk and chiffon. Priced from $150 to $4,500, the collection is now available at Perry’s Madison Avenue store.

Del Toro

Fashionista and Fashionistos the world over long for custom designer wears. For the vast majority (we are the 99%) we have to satisfy these "needs" on a budget. Well, we're here to tick one box for you!

From the desire to wear custom velvet monogramed loafers to their graduation, and being blown away by the $900 price tag, 3 friends founded Del Toro shoes. Offerings include men's and women's loafers, a variety of sneakers, wingtips, and espadrilles for men, and custom loafers starting at $425. All shoes are hand made in Italy and the styles are anything but boring. Take a peek.

Sinners!

The men over at Individualism  have a serious list of style sins. A few that we think are kinda important.

What are some things you think are sins of style?

You seem taller...

The wedge sneaker, its real, it's back, and we're kinda loving it. Take a look?
