EarthyWear elven pocket beltAn earthtoned catalog of elven designs that evoke early 80’s fantasy novel covers, and perhaps biker rallies, with their suede-and-stone separates. Jagged little miniskirts, fringy tops held up by decorated collars, knitted bikinis, bellsleeved dresses, pointy hooded tops, crisscrossed cuffs, pocket belts, jewelry made from crystals and coconuts and shells. The Ganesh-embossed leather photo albums complete the mystic vibe perfectly.

Guapo Fashion D-ring cyber miniskirtCyber-psy clothing from SpaceTribe and Niceone: jackets with pixie hoods and cargo pockets and spikes up the arms, pants decorated with neon piping or zipping open to expose bright panels, mandala tees, slashed tops, self-buckling wrap skirts, pocket belts, holster bags, good stuff whether your taste runs towards sacred geometry or space guns, and if you can’t make up your mind, this is the first place we’ve seen crosspollinate D-rings with fractals.

RomWear Romulan tabi bootsRomulan garb, straight from the costume designers of 2009’s Star Trek, “custom made just as if they were for the lead actors in the film” and quite blendable with cyber/playa warrior wardobes. High-collared vests and jackets trimmed with angled piping, ruched wrap tops and loose-fitting pants continuing the dark spacey mood, and some sinister tabi to finish it off. Thanks, Debauched Sage!

Forgotten Saints LA Mad Max Guns'n'Roses hatLocated at the former storefront of Serious, this Melrose boutique carries much of the same Lip Service-heavy rocker stock, but twisted up with rugged neoVictorian biker chic from Wild Card, Shawna Hoffman, and Skingraft for all kinds of gorgeously unholy mix’n'match potential (it’s totally Guns’n'Roses meets Mad Max on the Hats page). Junker, Dax Savage, Rockin’ Bones, Angel Court, Serious Dandies, Black Market, Bootleg, S&G, Gasoline Glamour, Sweet Bird, Antiseptic’s posture collars, and Universal Studios’ Monster tees comprise the lineup, along with Forgotten Saints’ own line of tees.

Pixie Pixie elven hoodieWoodland fashion where the armwarmers and leggings are distinctively leafy. Pointy-hooded dresses, jagged skirts, tops that are laced and latticed and slashed and all-around distressed quite prettily, the requisite pocket belts and holster bags, and a quite unexpected fusion of modern fae and 80’s revival in the elven Hammer pants.
