Guilty of lusting after that jacket? Mention FashionIndie and get 15% off everything on the Court room floor.

Look One: Shredded ‘n’ Leather

The Long  Tube Skirt: Mary Meyer, $94

California native cum NY transplant Mary Meyer fuses her talent for art into clothing that makes sense. Most notable for her geo-graphics and dyeing, she also has some revolutionary ideas about garment making. The construction of the skirt is what inspires me: she’s purposefully left the knit hemline unfinished so that the wearer may cut it to the desired length, no tailor required. The ground grazing-option takes effect when you place the waistline at any height. Named the AJM Skirt for Andrew J. Mukamal of Kell On Earth assistantship, Meyer was inspired by his grunge gone goth glam; long soft layers that counterpose plaid and leather.

The Shredded Top: Evil Twin, $89

“A physical copy of one’s self whom has altered morality” is the definition of this Australian brand’s namesake. I gather that this Evil Twin‘s twin shirt would not have holes, nor spaced fringe, nor a marble tie dye, all of which sneakily camouflage my exposed skin. With the skirt up high resting just below the bosom, I only have need for a bust long top. This holy top was born to move and shake, so if scandal isn’t your thing, throw a hot bandeau underneath as a bra, and let the hue show through. Lest you end up locked up for indecent exposure.

The Leather Jacket: Kill City, $458

With a slouch squared collar and super long sleeve lining, the relaxed rocker jacket is the ideal weight for Spring’s transition. Based in LA, Kill City is forged in that flexible weather to the sound of the rockin’ punk wail of Iggy Pop.

The Side-Laced Wedge: Madison Harding, $185 (originally $265)

Created intently for the downtown pavement pounder, these suede wedge booties ground the outfit’s transitional effect. Hilary Rosenman of Madison Ave., N.Y. and Barri Budin of Harding Dr., N.J. hauled their fashion knowledge to the East Village and began making astutely designed Madison Harding shoes.

The Hair Corset: Court, $48

Their very own hair corset comes from the Native American tradition of hair tying. They lace up like the top of a riding boot and encapsulate the pony tail. More details on this piece in the coming looks.

If you have to go to Court, this is for sure the one to go to.

One day each year, a BLACK cloud rolls over department stores. (Ah, the price of a good sale.)

You know what I’m talking about. People turn EVIL for this 24-hour stretch!!

They steal your parking. They cut you off while driving. They push you into walls, step on your toes, snatch the last sweater, climb over your back, sneeze on your shoulder, yell in your ear and contribute to general chaos.

They bite. They claw. And they gnash their teeth at you. They turn into CRAZIES.

I’m not one to pass up a sale, but let’s be honest. People get that look in their eye, and their goodwill turns black towards other shoppers.

Happy hunting! (And please. Remember your fellow shopper.)

Good friend and confidant, Justin Van Hoy is having a show in San Francisco this Friday, so stop by and say hello, have a drink and buy something. I’ll be making the trip out for this one, mainly for the drinks, but don’t tell Justin that.

6-9pm at BELLJAR
