Today in New York: Lina Hung

Lina Hung is a veritable culture volture who’s passionate about not-mainstream – and definitely not boring- things. Among those, between b-horror movies and rockabilly, there’s punk and pin-ups. Two things she was able to mix’n’match in her funky accessories line:Punk Up Bettie. Bright and bold colors, polka dots and rock’n’roll vibes transformed into uber cool [...]


Today in New York: Cat Ivins

Cat Ivins is someone who not only creates cool and unique jewels, but she also does so by repurposing already used materials and items, thus giving them a whole new and  incredible life. With her two lines of jewels, Polarity and Uncorked, Cat has thus found a way to bring recycling into the realm of [...]


Today in London: Anna Johnson

Anna Johnson lives in East London with her husband, and works from her home studio. She moved to London 5 years ago, and she thinks that’s the only place she ever felt like home: even if people keep telling her she’ll soon get sick of it, she loves it all the same. Anna is also [...]


Today in New York: Corey Dergazarian

Corey Dergazarian is a designer whose bags are hand crafted using a unique selection of both new and vintage fabrics, reclaimed remnants and re-purposed vintage clothing. And that’s exactly why you can’t find two items in her Sans Map line that are exactly the same. Corey is a self-taught Brooklyn based sewer and designer with [...]


Today in New York: Bill Pendergast

Bill has been living in NY his entire life. He is a PT (personal trainer) a special education teacher, a husband, a dad (of two little kids, a boy and a girl) and a graphic designer, thus mastering the threat of “flexibility” typical of our post modern times in  a very inspiring and -may I say- [...]

She has had her works shown in almost in every cool spot in the US (and in Italy, Spain and Japan too) and she is the creator of some of the cutest little animals and [...]


Today in New York: Amy Snider

Amy Snider‘s line of tees is so cool you will want to buy every item in her Every Little Counts‘ collection. Among the reasons while I love Every Little Counts so much are  that this label is eco-friendly, Brooklyn-based and inspired by love, romance, and nostalgia -how can anyone resist this super powerful mix? Plus [...]


Today in New York: Layla Delridge

One of New York’s many stereotypes is to be the uber cool city prototype, a place in where shopping is a heaven-like experience and where cool hunters face with some sort of El Dorado- made of clothes. Everyone who has been there knows this is true. And it’s also thanks to designers as Layla Delridge [...]

Today in New York: Erica Levine

Having lived in New York for a while, one of the many things that I have learned is that most of the Italian-Americans who live there have really been able to “make it happen”. Italian-Americans can be found in almost every field, from business to coaching to cinema, and they are all doing a great [...]
