Proving grunge has at least (n)ine lives, designer Takahiro Miyashita says Kurt Cobain and the songwriter's love for Johnny Cash were the inspiration for his spring Number (N)ine men's collection, describing it as "romantic cowboy." This scarf, enblazoned with musical notes, captures the not-so-teen spirit.
Lowdown: The notes form the label's logo, a heart and tear.
Price: $435
At: Number (N)ine in New York (431 Washington Street, 212-431-8699) and Maria Luisa in Paris (38 rue du Mont Thabor, +33 1 42 96 47 81)

Why go ballet when you stomp around in these thigh-high platforms from Bruno Frisoni? The Paris-based shoe pimp, who also creates the flirtier footwear of Roger Vivier, says he channeled the bi-gender vibe of Marlene Dietrich; you'll see why when you slip into these strap-ons.
Lowdown: Frisoni also debuts a limited range of ribbon-tied clutches for spring.
Price: $755
