Hamilton Nolan · 11/30/12 01:15PMEarlier this month we told you about Unionmade, the upscale San Francisco menswear store that sells expensive clothes that are not, in fact, union made. The cherry on top of that particular style-over-substance outrage was the fact that Unionmade's logo bears a suspicious resemblance to the logo of the AFL-CIO. And now, the AFL-CIO's lawyers have sent them an angry letter demanding they change their name and logo.

Adrian Chen · 10/24/12 02:35PMWilliamsburg, Brooklyn, is increasingly coming to resemble an all-year, urban Gathering of the Juggalos. It's hard to walk down Bedford Ave., Williamsburg's bustling main drag, without seeing someone dressed like an exploded taxidermist workshop or a steampunk pirate scientist. Now the entire internet can gawk at the real-time sartorial displays on Williamsburg thanks to Styleblaster, a new, slightly-creepy project that's part-street style blog, part-surveillance state.
Take Off Your God Damn Livestrong Bracelets
Hamilton Nolan · 10/17/12 08:45AMIn 1996, cycling champion Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. By 1999, he had recovered and made a miraculous return to win the Tour de France. Five years later, the LIVESTRONG charity, which battles cancer, started distributing yellow rubber bracelets emblazoned with "LIVESTRONG" in honor of Armstrong's courage and tenacity. And now, eight long years later, it's time to cut that dirty motherfucking bracelet off your wrist and throw it into the trash.

Caity Weaver · 10/08/12 12:07PMThe Brooklyn Nets' Cheerleader Uniforms: Confronting the Nightmare
Caity Weaver · 09/27/12 05:20PMThe new Brooklyn Nets' Brooklynettes cheerleader uniforms were revealed this week, and they are bad. They are bad in ways you would expect, like a cropped warm up jacket. They are bad in surprising new ways, like "painted sequin leggings." Because they are complicated, multi-piece ensembles, they are bad in many ways. Because they mostly consist of pieces of fabric bearing the word BROOKLYN in capital letters, they are bad in ways that seem Brooklyn-specific, but are, in fact, universal.

Louis Peitzman · 09/24/12 07:19PMNew York Fashion Weavz: Ain't No Party Like a Pussy Party
Caity Weaver · 09/13/12 10:30AMMy friend Chaia and I are sitting on a low brick wall on the patio of a club in the West Village. An inebriated young man, late twenties, early thirties, introduced himself to me a few seconds ago as a representative from "the office of Chris Christie." I have just asked the inebriated young man why a representative from the office of New Jersey's Republican governor is attending a Fashion Week party being thrown by OK! Magazine in the West Village on a Monday night.
Fashion Week: French Magazine Editor Slaps PR Woman, Who Then Sues for $1 Million
Taylor Berman · 09/12/12 07:40PMFor some of us, Fashion Week is one of the more confusing/ignorable times of the year. For others, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF YEAR, by a long shot. For obvious reasons, Jennifer Eymere, an editor of the French fashion magazine Jalouse, falls into the latter category. In fact, it's so important to Eymere that she's willing to commit battery just to prove a point.
