Hug A Hipster, Today

— Thu, 4th September 2008 —

If you’re a fan of Stephan Schneider and Kostas Murkudis, then we recommend getting over to the Project No. 8 sample sale in China Town.

But, BEWARE, there’s only two racks of the stuff, there’s no Martin Margiela stock, and the summer seems to have left the old Chinese ladies and local hipsters particularly on edge.

Project No. 8 sample sale at Various Projects Studio – 215 Centre St between Howard & Grand – 2nd fl – Thurs 5pm-9pm; Fri & Sat 12pm-7pm – 212-925-5599 – Map

Along with button-down shirts and sweaters for about $100, we liked:
– This Kostas Murkudis wool bomber for about $500 –

– This Stephan Schneider heavy canvas peacoat for about $300 –

Cyclist Chic

— Thu, 4th September 2008 —

Today and Friday only, the highly unorthodox shoe makers at Shane & Shawn are hosting a sample sale featuring discounts of up to 85%, and prices as low as $30. [The Cut]

(Warning: These guys are big fans of the square-toe shoe, which many consider to be an unforgivable style misstep.)
