Keeping your alcohol at arm’s length is a rule that we at FashionIndie take seriously, but not every professional setting agrees.  That’s why these books by Bender Bound are the perfect solution for a more serious workplace accessory.  The book options range from medicine or law all the way to cooking or parenting (we’re avidly awaiting a fashion book series, hint hint).  The Brooklyn based design collective has even customized pilot manuals to follow the FAA 3 oz. regulation size.

This is a great gift that a man of any style or age (well, over 21 that is) can appreciate. Plus, what guy doesn’t want to feel a little bit more like James Bond?

“Remote sellers,” i.e. Internet-only retailers and catalogue companies are at the center of the controversy. Traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, meanwhile, are typically required to add sales tax in whatever states they have stores. But states — seeking additional revenue to balance their budgets — are  pushing legislation to require e-tailers to collect sales taxes where they have a physical presence like a warehouse, call center or their headquarters.

And it’s no wonder considering the findings of a 2009 University of Tennessee study, which estimates that state and local governments could miss out on as much as $11.4 billion to $12.65 billion in sales taxes uncollected from e-commerce sales next year.

Even retailers with a strong online presence such as Wal-Mart hope to level the playing field by imposing taxes on online-only businesses. Because of their tax loophole, e-tailers can often run bigger sales, a practice that, according to a senior official at a specialty chain, “is killing other businesses.”

However, passing this type of legislation is easier said than done.

“Interstate commerce is generally legislated by the federal government,” says Paul Hurley, CEO of Ideeli, “and the right place to legislate this issue is at the federal level and even there, it’s going to be complicated.”

Hurley’s sentiments are echoed by Overstock CEO Patrick M. Byrne in a statement published on Overstock’s website:

“It is unconstitutional for a state to pass a law making out-of-state retailers collect sales tax simply for having business relations with marketing affiliates in those states.”

But Congress has already set those wheels into motion. The Durbin bill is an initiative by Assistant U.S. Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) that would require all retailers to collect sales taxes in the 45 states, including the District of Columbia, where they exist.

Hurley argues that these taxes could “stifle businesses that depend on technology and the Internet,” even though e-commerce growth shows no signs of slowing.  E-commerce now accounts for 9 percent of retail spending, in comparison to 0.47 percent in 1998 and a projected 11.1 percent in 2015.

With online sales projected at $197.3 billion this year and $217.5 billion next year, this issue will only continue to gain more traction. So the only option as I see it is to go on a massive shopping spree, hoard up on everything in anticipation of retail Armageddon and then unload it via your own e-commerce site for a tidy little profit. Capitalism at its finest. [WWD]

Already online all over Europe, we stateside folk will soon be able to shop H&M without moving beyond our computers. Now the question is, will we be able to access limited edition lines like Lanvin or Jimmy Choo on the website? Or will we still have to wait in the street and clamor through the racks for incredibly awesome collabs?

Either way, get ready to see a whole lot of this on your screen  in 2012. Except replace that Union Jack in the bottom right corner with some Stars and Stripes.

As much of a blessing as e-commerce has been, it’s still not a perfect art–especially when it comes to fashion.  You know the drill: discovering a new brand, being unsure of their sizing, having no way to try things on.  Well, Estonia‘s got you covered!  The itty-bitty nation has been busy developing a robot with shifting body plates to adjust to one’s measurements.  You can go to the developer’s website to get a taste.  Jump for more info.Unfortunately, it looks like in the end it will remain a purely virtual exercise (meaning no getting to have a crazy, body-shifting robot in your own home or a store near you), but it still seems pretty cool.  Just have your measurements ready (as any fashion-crazed man should) and plug those figures in.   The future is now!

Online designer store Net-à-Porter has finally confirmed the launch of a men’s division: Mr Porter will open in January, but you can already register online.

The site will launch for the S/S 2011 season, with an edited line-up which includes global designer labels and niche brands, as well as editorial and style advice.

Mr. Porter will feature brands such as Burberry, Ralph Lauren, YSL, Gucci, Margiela, Balmain, Margaret Howell, Rick Owens, John Lobband and Dunhill.

The menswear launch comes ten years to the day after net-a-porter was founded by the former journalist, Natalie Massenet.
