SuperFancy Kids Mustache Tee

SuperFancy’s Mustache Tee

For all the cool kids out there: hipster offspring, weathered NYC youngsters and such, SuperFancy’s line of children’s tees are fresh, bright, and (aside from the one questionable gun tee) innocuous in content: rather important when dressing youngsters in this age of uber-violent video games (I’m against it), horror flicks (against it), and the like. Want your own SuperFancy shwag? Well, the Danish company makes tees for old farts too — although not quite as spirited as the munchkin selection… At a hefty €22 a pop (for kids tees), you’ll definitely want to hand the duds down to the next burgeoning fashionista in line…

But hunchback-chic aside, the very hipster ensembles in Priyo Oktaviano’s portion of the Fashion 1st Show at Jakarta Fashion Week represent a comfy-looking hodgepodge of loose cotton layers, subtle clashes of color (ie. salmon and red), and traditional Ikat dyeing techniques. One of three collections that Priyo featured during the week, these garments are part of his casual wear line, SPOUS (est. 2003), an acronym for his full name: Stefanus Priyo Oktaviano Umar Slamet. Loving the Ikat-print harem pants and pale pink beaded necklace…

Exactitudes - The Girls from Ipanema

So, you thought you were one-of-a-kind? Well, think again. Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have been examining the distinct dress codes of various social clusters for well over a decade now and their striking book of images, Exactitudes (that’s exact and attitude smished together), demonstrates once again to us obstinate humans how beautifully similar to one another we are…
