A vote-on-the-best-graphic catalog where the usual call for t-shirt submissions gets the rare treatment of shoe design. It’s mostly skate-style canvas slip-ons and a couple of thick-soled low-tops for now – disappointingly, the high-tops section is empty at the time of this review – but good for tastes that run towards the spacey and scientific, splashed with a little pop art. And if you *must* submit a tee image, they do those, too.

A Miami Beach “fine art shoe store” that gives bright pop makeovers to footwear and handbags. Ballet flats, platform mules, and ankle-strapped pumps are meticulously handpainted with 80’s-style vamps reminiscent of Patrick Nagel and Roy Lichtenstein, and if you’ve got your eye on a clutch, grab it while you can because it looks like they sell out quickly. And if you’d rather display the ladies on your walls rather than your feet, they also do digital prints.
Fantasy costumes that push way past Halloween-in-a-bag getups into the realms of maximum frill. Trans and plus-size friendly, the designs are an explosion of lolita/french maid/cosplay ruffles – this is a great place for packing on some serious petticoat volume – with some more grownup occupational attire in PVC flight attendant dresses, boss-lady puff-sleeve blouses, military caps, and satin nurse masks. The lingerie is just as frothy, and accessories include tulle hair flowers, heels, wigs, and little lacy bags to match the outfits.
This dance shoe supplier includes gear for lindy hopping in among the ballroom and salsa stuff. Strapped saddles, slingback peeptoe wedges, sharp little oxfords, plaid maryjanes, wild color in the men’s section, a good mix of stuff to swing the night away, many of them repro’d directly from the actual footwear of the forties and fifties. They also stock clothing from Remix Vintage, Stop Staring, Bettie Page, Steady, Vivien of Holloway, and others.
Formalwear in plus sizes, for prom and cocktail parties and weddings and whatever other occasions demand unrestrained plumage. Ruched skirts, draped ruffles, bootcut hems, mermaid silhouettes, bellsleeves, starlet straplessness, swingy knee-length dresses, lots of things that can be turned goth or retro with compatible accessorization. They’ve also got crinoline slips for volumizing, all kinds of metallic evening bags and sandals, and there’s a section for fancy maternity dress.
Fashion to fight in! A catalog of darkwear that turns out cute’n'evil cotton suitable for rollerderby and other lively pursuits that might involve a bloody nose. The dresses take their shapes from cheerleader and army uniforms, the skirts are emblazoned with polarized skulls, and if you’ve ever felt the burning need to sport handguns across the ‘tocks, this is your store. Knuckle rings, lightning bolts, and medical crosses make up the jewelry section, the armwarmers smother everything from elbow to wrist in brass knuckles, and they stock the footwear trifecta of Demonia, Pleaser, and Bordello.
A large catalog of alt brands, the usual suspects of Lip Service, Shrine and Stop Staring are here with Baby Tears, Evil Kitty, Honeydew Intimates and Limb. The styles are all over the map, swooping through goth, fetish, retro, and steampunk, with shoes and accessories to match.
