From chic boutiques to scene jeans, Hint pays attention to retail
Gigolo records celebrates its 100th release by helping you to get undressed. DJ Hell, the label's founder, has teamed with Agent Provocateur to add streetwalker style to your privates with these racy, embossed underpants. Only 500 pairs have been produced, so be sure to snatch yours up at Seven New York, 180 Orchard St., 646-654-0156, or the newly-opened Agent Provocateur store, 133 Mercer St., 212-965-0229.
Coco Chanel's probably rolling in her grave as Alexander McQueen remakes her Little Black Dress, packing the timeless staple with punked-up sex appeal (seen here with necklace by Young & Devine). Fashion's baddest boy subverts the classic style to suit both the Lady and the Tramp; his ruffled low-cut bodice threads the line between haute and ho. Reinvent yourself at Alexander McQueen, 417 W. 14th St., 212-645-1797.

With his first collection for Lanvin, Alber Elbaz—the Moroccan-born designer who has done time at Guy Laroche and Yves Saint Laurent—cleans house, rebranding the label as edgy-but-elegant with his stark silhouettes. It's a modern look for a woman who's confident enough to wear a headdress, and efficient enough to dust furniture with it. -Aric Chen
