Band of Outsiders

More Like cool miners: In Chile tonight, 33 miners, who have been trapped in a hot, humid, dark cave for over two months, will begin their ascent above ground with a little help from Oakley. “The miners will emerge wearing the sunglasses, donated by the American company, Oakley, which will provide 100 per cent protection from ultraviolet light. Medics have warned of damage to the miners’ retinas when they reach daylight after so long underground.” While many of the victims’ wives have been taking steps to beautify themselves in preparation, these men probably won’t be looking their best, but at least they’ll have some hot sunglasses to wear when reuniting with their loved ones. {Telegraph UK}

I wish I lived in South Korea: Band of Outsiders did lower-priced line for men and women in collaboration with Bean Pole, a major brand in South Korea. Chloe Sevigny is the face of the campaign. This basically sounds like the coolest thing ever and we are extremely bummed it’s not available in the states. With Girl debuting for Spring ’11, we hope this means more lower priced options to come from Sternberg, for men and women alike. {Blackbook}

Boy., the women’s collection from Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg, is one of our top five favorite labels. However, the hefty price tag hinders us from buying as much as we’d like to.

This year, the LA-based designer’s scene moved from the classroom–with desks and vintage typewriters galore–to the parking lot–where models reclined on a vintage Mercedes–to the deep woods, where [...]

I need Style.com like I need my morning coffee.
