Have we ever told you about our problem with authority? Oh, it's a big one. Bosses barking orders, shophands pushing pastels—we don't think so. So until we plan that underground resistance (oh yes, there's a lot of us, and we're pissed), we're just going to let these Obesity and Speed spring tees—and a tie-back tank, their signature—do the resisting for us. Slogans like Ignore Orders and Nothing Sacred should suffice, and what says "back off or I'll kohl-rim your eyes" like a lacy Misfits skull print? That's right, we're doing it old school! Next on our wish list from the New York label is the bat-wing stage cape they designed for British goth band The Horrors. It's the ultimate pièce de résistance.
Details: cut and sewn from vintage bodies, hand-printed and dyed. Send us a question about this product.

First came dirty dancing, then dirty sanchezing. Now comes dirty washing with this two-layer Pleasure Principle T-shirt—reissued by popular demand, exclusively for Hint—treated with a dark greenish enzyme. The result, because sometimes black is too black, is a more realistic shade. And it works a lot better with the unapologetic skull motif, which designers Adrian Cowen and Diva Pittala have laser-cut on the back of the outer tee, and which contrasts with the brightness of the inner tee. Each extra-soft cotton layer has a U-neck in front (the label's signature) and can also be worn separately. In fact, we've seen girls wear the skull layer by itself to super sexy effect, if skulls can be sexy. And of course they can; just ask goth-goddess Siouxsie Sioux.
Details: When laid flat, the length from armpit to armpit is 17" (s), 18" (m), 19" (l) and 20" (xl). Send us a question about this product.

What do you get when you mix a post-punk aesthetic, national love of precision and fascination with geometry? Raf Simons, sure, but go east a few degrees of longitude and you get the equally progressive German label Postweiler Hauber. From their workshop in the industrial backlands of Mannheim, Postweiler Hauber sent us this limited-edition T-shirt (with false shirt pockets in gold and silver) and matching steel chain (also in the shape of a pocket). Together, they echo the clean lines, metallic glints and clever trompe l'oeuil that have made the Teutonic label a favorite of the international conceptual set. Plus, you won't find these pieces—made entirely in Germany—anywhere except the Hint Shop. Join the cult.
Details: The shirt is unfitted, meaning it's intended to fit slightly loose. The width at chest and bottom is 20" (s) and 21" (m). Order both the shirt and chain to receive a $15 discount. Send us a question about this product.

The girls behind the Berlin/Paris cult label Bless are notoriously shy—camera-shy, press-shy and every other kind of shy—so this may be your only chance to have some face time with Ines Kaag and Desiree Heiss. In a limited edition exclusively for Hint, the duo has reissued their Stitched Starcut unisex T-shirts, a Bless classic from the acclaimed No. 9 collection. Made of premium cotton, the salmon tees are artfully top-stitched on the front and back with the likenesses of Ines and Desiree (short and long hair, respectively). With collars hand-cut by the designers themselves, the shirts are the same blend of quality and quirk that you've come to expect from the fashion-world darlings for ten years and counting.
Details: Each shirt has a small stud engraved with "Bless" at the bottom and comes in a clear plastic Bless box. Send us a question about this product.

No one would judge you too harshly for thinking, upon entering Alexander McQueen's new store in Los Angeles, that you'd stumbled onto the set of the next Terminator film. But no, the boutique's centerpiece is not a cyborg levitating through the skylight. Also this month: Stella McCartney, Aloharag....

If you've watched a Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, John Galliano or Comme des Garcons show in recent years, you've no doubt seen one of Stephen Jones' outre hats bobbing down the runway. We caught up with the English milliner and discussed everything from Anna (Piaggi) to Xanadu.

"Madonna starves herself on a raw macrobiotic kosher vegan kaballah diet and works out three hours a day to maintain the physique of a 12-year-old gymnast boy, and then has the cheeks of a 300-pound woman implanted into her face. And her forehead is like a plastic baby's bottom. It's like Nicole Kidman's forehead at the height of her botox addiction, and we all remember how unfortunate that era was." |
