The soundtrack was mixed by Matthew Stone featuring a spanish version of Roy Orbison's Crying by Rebecca Del Rio.
Stone must have been inspired by the soundtrack of David Lynch's Muholland Drive. A movie about, Lynch describes, love. Either way, it works and sets the mood well.
in my book, opening ceremony can't do anything wrong. they're stores have yet to be outdone, I always find something i love in their collection (most recent purchase - the grunge zip bootie), and not to mention their innumerable collaborations, that often times have catapulted brands from the brink of extinction back into the fashion spotlight. they recently announced their first handbag collection, which of course i immediately needed to start saving for.
bold, bright, beautiful design. what more can you ask for?
Krystal Simpson's style is unmistakably cool and californian. through her blog "what is reality anyway?" she shows us what the words to "california dreamin'" really mean and her effortless style. if this is reality, wake me up....
kate is the epitomy of downtown new york cool and with her love of bad ass accessories and balenciaga its no wonder her style is all over the blog-o-sphere. but to be a TRAITOR style influence you've got to have more than just expensive clothes.
she believes in fashion as a form of personal expression, not as a way to enslave the human race.... in an interview with Elle.com she says:
"Thats the thing about fashion: You can use it to hide, but it's only magic when you use it to express who you really are."
thats what it really means to be a TRAITOR.
all i need is one of these babies.

I met Diego Gomez four or 5 years ago while I was living in San Francisco. We reconnected this past July and I thought: Why don't we sell Diego's pieces on Traitor?
Diego is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Performer, Comic Book Enthusiast, Costume Designer, Drag Queen, and most importantly an individual.
I'm not sure what inspires him but his creations are unfiltered, handmade, and raw. I've always been drawn to people who are this unique.
Be sure to check out his blog, DesignNurd. Explore his peices for sale on Traitor Collective.
He creates more than just jewlery: below find a handmade corset made of mac keyboard keys and a straight jacket used to perform in. Hopefully Diego moves to New York soon and we can collaborate more frequently.

1. Buy a dress.
Yes, its that easy.
Most of the time we when think of winter we think of leggings, sweaters, puffy coats and wellies....I hope to god you don't fall into this category this year. Luckily for you, designers have fused technology with fashion to create great winter dresses that wont make you feel like an asshole for walking around outside without real pants. You just need to follow a few of tips and you wont regret leaving the house in heels instead of Hunters.
1. Fabric, Fabric, Fabric.....the worst thing to feel when your outside in winter is, well, the cold. Pick a fabric that keeps you warm and keeps you comfortable. Designers have come up with stretch wool, stretch leather, wool crepe, ponti, scuba, and a slew of blends for you to lay your hands on. Just stay away from those lightweight summer cottons, they're not made for cold weather.
2. Invest in a pair of cashmere or wool tights.....Don't be a dummy. If you like in New York, like I do, if you don't have a pair of these you're liable to get frost bite on your legs, somedays within 10 minutes of going outside! With a pair of these babies you wont need to worry, best of all they don't have to be expensive. Macys, Barneys, and Saks all have them. They're easy to find and if you treat them well, you only need one pair all season.
3. Think of the dress as a layering piece. Add sweaters, jackets, tees, belts whatever.....It doesn't have to be just a dress.
And lastly....4. Find some closed-toed boots you aren't afraid to get dirty in. Don't do the sky high platforms in the snow if you can barely walk in them during the summer (and definitely don't buy boots that will melt if they come in contact with any water source). Be smart, there are so many boots out there, you'll find one to fit your lifestyle (and wardrobe needs).
These are my favorite 3 choices for winter dresses, pick one and make it your own.

I love when new designers suceed. Especially when I love the collection. This being the third season it should be interesting to see what happens next. According to Fader when asked if he would ever design womenswear he replied that he's done it before and can do it again.
1. The harness trend moves to menswear in the most unexpected way. We aren't rock climbing, this is a what we call a thigh harness. Coupled with the zip up side pouch you don't need back pockets or a fanny pack.
2. The collection makes me feel like I'm gym class heading to the locker room again. Only this time its okay to look.
3. Adidas Sliders meet 1970's prada meet Isaac Mizrahi.
4. I want a thigh harness
