No, not the Pussycat Dolls, but rather a force not to be reckoned with: the co-founders of hac. We're here with you to welcome the rest of 2008 as we look back at our first official quarter. From this point on you can count on more posts about whatever the hell we want to write you. That's all. There's no 9th anniversary special with Chloë Sevigny, no quarterly reviews for possible raises, no bullshit. Just us, "being Asian" (thx silke, thx lewis, thx sf) and all:

us three

sometimes with friends

sometimes we'll eat for you and write about it

maybe we'll share some tunes (that we'll karaoke!)

staying fashionably questionable

sometimes close, and sometimes far...
just remember,

I (collectively) ♥ U

Do you like us? Stay for awhile! Write us; leave us comments; wave at us on the streets (we'll take your photo!); tell us about your blog(s), your dog Mickey, your new vintage find... We won't write about any of it*, but at least we'll listen, effectively (and that's a lot to promise as is!).

love always, hac

*only kidding... unless your stories really suck, then why the fuck waste time by retelling them! we could reinvent your stories--add some color, shake it up a little with some Heidi's and Spencers--maybe then we'll discuss them. Let's wait it out and see.

^photos were taken over the course of three months, with photobooth.

A Travel Guide for the TenderNob?

Sydney Pfaff (freelance writer and ex-co-worker) wrote a short and concise travel guide on Refinery29.com about the Lower Nob Hill area, which has been dubbed TenderNob. It's worth mentioning not only because she includes the Silverman Gallery, The Hundreds, and Brick, but I live on the edge of this sometimes-confused neighborhood and that should be reason enough. Check it out (and maybe you can find me and my buddies loitering the streets!)

I slipped in the shower this morning

Hi kids. No harm done. Let's get started.

Here's a snippet I'd like to dub "Brand of the Week". Hopefully it will become more regular, changing it to brand of the day. Enjoy.

BRAND OF THE WEEK #1: WON HUNDRED


The deets in 30 words or less: Copenhagen based label founded by Nikolaj Nielsen who used to work at Sixty and Diesel. Started with denim, ready-to-wear since 2005 with Pernille Schwarz.

Collection: Spring/Summer 2008


You can view the complete collection/look book at their website. I have the Autumn/Winter 2008 look book but I haven't captured it yet. More on that later! Additional looks from their In Season:


At work our buying team is hoping to get their next collection. They might have already... I should ask and report back.

Cute!

Alex Wang, How I Envy Thee

I wanted to post some videos of fashion designer Alexander Wang, simply because his life and work I envy and wish to supersede, next year...because I'm that great. Yes, this will have to do.

Watch now, Fall '08 Collection coverage from Alexander Wang:

1. Refinery29 covers NY Fashion Week '08:



2. WhoWhatWearDaily covers NY Fashion Week '08:



3. Refinery29's My Style profile (Alex's studio):



4. Nylon + YouTube Runway Remix (w/ Hot Chip jams in the bkgd!):



5. Elle covers NY Fashion Week '08 (more of the same from above, but like "pop-up video":



6. Nylon--Alex's Studio (again):



There are dozens of vids covering this guy and I only selected ones of his upcoming Fall collection because it inspires me to get to sewing! As Heidi would say, "It's sew time!" (don't hate)

Here are some favorite looks from his show:
