Produced in New York, Sunshine & Shadow is a mix of light and dark, contrast and coherence, and understated with bold. Designer Lily Raskind bridges a modern, sensual silhouette with a menswear influence and street edge. Creative material choices, strong prints and close attention to finishing work together to build a distinctly subtle and perfectly casual luxuriousness.

The accessories are also made in-house by hand.

For a full Spring Summer 2010 collection head over to Sunshine & Shadow or check out their Past Collections.

GRN Apple Tree was created eight years ago. The collections have kept their roots in art, politics and music.

I am very proud to present the collection, ‘Style Warriors’ for Fall 2009 Delivery 1, a line of clothing designed to celebrate women who escape the mundane and predictable in every facet of their lives. Drawing upon cross-cultural sophistication, and a diverse, Aztec-inspired color story, ‘Style Warriors’ truly embodies the aspirations of iconoclast women.

Great attention to detail, use of color and emphasis on form, function and durability in addition to the powerful, independent, fashion savvy female philosophy that Hellz culminates in a refreshing take on modern fashion: ‘Style Warriors.’

It’s like a magnetism which leads them to be united as a niche, and to reject the ordinary as if it were an electric shock.

Newton Running is a running shoe created by runners and coaches for runners. While I wouldn’t use them for anything else other than running, and definitely not as part my daily style.
What makes this shoe unique though (our concern) is the packaging that seems to be made of molded 100% post consumer recycled material. Not only their packaging materials choice is eco-friendly, but the shape of it fits the shoes snugly inside eliminating the need for extra padding or extra material to create a rectangle box.
