styledotcom: "The Prada book weighs in at 708 pages. It includes ruminations on "the brand" and photos from every campaign since 1983."' We might actually replace our coffee table with the Prada coffee table book. Same size, right?

Rain, Cold, and Electrocution Couldn't Stop Our Save Fashion Campaign!

By Connie Wang

With Save Fashion merely a week away, we wanted to share our Tom Hines-shot campaign photos featuring Trump girls Georgie Wass, Jessica Perez, and Julia Wolters. In the spirit of Save Fashion, at moments it seemed like we needed someone to save us from the elements. A mixture of freezing rain and gusty conditions in Tivoli, NY made it way difficult to execute the '70s-tinged concept we were going for (even worse, our poor props guy got electrocuted from the fog machine. Sorry Jesse!). But in the end, we were absolutely thrilled with the mystical, ethereal editorial that was produced. Though we may have bled, sweated, and cried our way through this shoot, we made our latest Save Fashion campaign well worth the wait. Want to see more? Stop by our shop in SoHo from November 13-22 for some outrageous deals (steals, really) on all our favorite brands. See you there!

Save Fashion at Inven.tory, 237 Lafayette Street, at Spring. November 13-22, 12-8pm.

You Won't Look Like a Square With B-Side's Cubic, Steam-Punk Jewelry

By Connie Wang

The steampunk trend's still going hard and strong (as great trends are wont to do), and if you're looking for a little something special to wear with your metal-plated shoes, consider Ken and Dana Design's newest batch of B-Side jewelry. Sculptural exercises in cubism and gigantic crystals knuckle-dusters might look right at home on the nitty-gritty lot, but the pyrite pendants are nothing but dainty. Hang one of these striking pieces around your neck because looking like a square (or should we say, cube) has never looked better.

Starting bid, $49.99, check it out here....
