the insider's guide to your city
DailyCandy is a handpicked selection of all that's fun, fashionable, food related, and culturally stimulating in the city you’re fixated on (and all over the Web).
Halloween’s over. Why are you still dressing like a whack-job?
Try something less scary on for size.
Like a piece from Re Collection, a line that neatly melds old (vintage tees, men’s trousers) and new (beading, studs, fringe) for a streamlined, moody-rocker look. Designer PJ Faulstick (Twelfth Street) sources a vintage supply company to score smart patterns, shapes, and textures. Then he treats, dyes, recuts, and embellishes.
An old Hanes becomes a soft, cropped, studded tee. An ’80s dress and suiting trousers are born again as a corset. Grandpa’s comfy flannel plus old zippers equals an airy, super-soft tunic. Old Jockey tees morph into harem pants with beading and an imperfect tulle edge.
Up for spring: recycled leather, washed denim, neons, prints.
Bewitchin’.
