Terence Koh hosted our Flaunt Magazine / UNITE Hair for Everyone Event at MI6 in Hollywood. Needless to say, things got weird. We also hosted Kristin Cavallari at the event, and contrary to published media reports, she looked amazing and completely composed.
The Invisible Shoe
To footwear designer Andreia Chaves , each shoe is an individual work of art. Raised in the busy metropolis of Sao Paulo , Brazil – Chaves understands that beauty can be found in chaos, a concept that reveals itself in her footwear designs. She explains this in her own words, "The fact that I grew up in a chaotic city like Sao Paulo, full of contrasts, being in contact with such diversity and constant exposure to different visual inputs, has inspired me in how I think and conceptualize my shoes. Looking at my work, I can clearly see influence coming from my South American sense of versatility. Also in the mix - what I have been experiencing in Europe . "
“The Invisible Shoe ” has a mirrored surface, creating a deceptively obscured optical effect with every step taken. The chameleon-like façade blends in perfectly with any environment.

As “DIY” and “Green” seem to be the two loudest buzz words in marketing and apparel today, it makes sense that eventually someone would come along to merge the two. Stepping up to the challenge is Dutch design duo Fioen Van Balgooi and Berber Soepboer, whose line of “click/fold” dresses called Refinity are literally redefining making a dress “ones own”. Each outfit consists of interlocking parts (much like LEGO) which can be added or taken away from a garment- allowing you to alter it’s design on demand. In addition to providing endless tailoring opportunities, the garments are also earth friendly- making use of “cradle-to-cradle” technology and zero waste design. And if this hasn’t already sold you on Refinity, apparently the clothes are also able to hold up to the wear-and-toss mentality of the average consumer. -Laura Feinstein

Marilyn Minter: Art Meets the Handbag
Sure you might not be able to own a piece of her installation for Creative Time, and most will probably never be able to afford a work from her Day For Night photography series, but that doesn’t mean you can’t own a piece of Marilyn Minter. The recently ubiquitous and long under appreciated NYC artist has just unveiled a new collaboration with Intermix, which will benefit Bright Pink-a national non-profit organization that focuses on “empowering high risk women to take care of their breast and ovarian health”. For the project Minter will be unveiling an exclusive tote bag with a select still from Minter’s Green Pink Caviar art film. -PSFK

Derek Lam NY Store
Lam's clothing designs emphasize a feminine, sensuous cut, appeal to a client who prefers a constructed but not overly agressive look. The architect team came up with a delicate, diaphanous ambience where clothes stand out like sculptural objects.
