From knit wit to urban grit, Hint pays attention to retail
Revisiting the grunge that made him infamous, Marc Jacobs has added a pinch of glamour, a dash of military and a sprinkle of the 70s to cook up one of the most talked-about collections of fall. Some call it glunge. We call it grrrr-amour! Marc Jacobs, 163 Mercer St., 212-343-1490 -Aric Chen
Want a little S&M from Santa this year? Wish for Pleasure Principle, a brand-spanking new shirt line for naughty boys and girls by the always irreverent People Used to Dream About the Future. Already a hit in Japan, the range ($60-$150) features tees, sweatshirts, and button-ups with embroidered scenes of bondage and masturbation taken from vintage porn mags. Pleasure yourself at Seven, 180 Orchard St., 646-654-0156 or Isa, 88 N. Sixth St., Brooklyn, 718-387-3363.

Sophia Kokosalaki
Sophia Kokosalaki, the most exciting Greek export since feta, is one of fashion's hottest dishes. This season, Kokosalaki ties up a few loose strings to weave intricate webbed tops that ooze decadent deconstruction. Having designed collections for Ruffo Research and British retailer Topshop, Kokosalaki will become a classic before you can say souvlaki. From $682 at www.netaporter.com
