SartoriaLUST Pop-Up Shop

September 22nd, 2009

To celebrate the launch of his new book, fashion blogger and street-style photographer Scott Schuman (a.k.a. The Sartorialist) is setting up shop in New York and London, with a new pop-up appropriately titled “SartoriaLUST.” The retail space — at Barneys New York and Liberty of London — has been specially curated by Schuman to showcase all the “sartorial” things that he appreciates, uses and lusts after.

Clothing brands represented include cozy tees and heavy shirts from Schuman-approved favorites like Ralph Lauren, Jil Sander and Marc Jacobs, along with special menswear pieces from newer labels like Duckie Brown. The only leather goods line showcased at the deftly-compiled shop is WANT: Les Essentiels de la Vie — a line of covet-worthy leather bags, luxurious totes and classic accessories based out of Montreal. For the pop-up shop, WANT created a limited-edition, custom-made SartoriaLUST line, with the color, shape and size of each piece in the collection hand-chosen by Schuman himself. The pieces range from a sleek leather portfolio case to a classic black leather camera bag, perfect for Schuman and aspiring photographers and bloggers alike. All the pieces are stamped with the gold SartoriaLUST logo to ensure their collectors-worthy status. Want to check out the full line? Stop by the pop-up shop at Barneys or visit www.wantessentiels.com. The event runs until September 29th.

Designer Drinks Downtown

June 19th, 2009

You may not be able to afford their pricey duds, but there’s a new way for New Yorkers to get a taste of their favorite designers. Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch are adding “mixologist” to their lengthy resumes, creating drinks for Lower East Side bar Local 138’s summer cocktail menu. Lauren’s “Ralph Raspberry Rum Punch,” is made with crushed raspberries, rum, lemon and lime juice, while Burch’s “Tory Tikki Tini,” is made with grapefruit, mango, strawberry and pineapple. Jacobs’ drink is a take on the classic mint julep. He’s calling it the “Marc Mint Martini.”

Local 138 has always been a favorite of ours, with a casual, neighborhood vibe that’s refreshing to find among the host of pretentious bars in the area. Now there’s another reason to check it out. Local 138 is located at 138 Ludlow Street, between Rivington and Stanton.
