The lobby at The Fashion Institute of Technology, January 2023
The Fashion Institute of Technology is showcasing some student pieces right now in their lobby and they are breathtaking. I’m not sure if this is a normal occurrence, but I’ll make sure to stop by to check every time I’m in that neighborhood from now on.
Look at these beauties.
Absolutely stunning.
“Clothes worn inside out will bring good luck.”
I can't tell you how grateful I am to my friend Marla for turning me on to this clothing brand. So far, these (below) are the only pieces I've bought from them but that's only because I'm trying to have some kind of a budget in place for my adult life.
Are these not gorgeous? I assume that they're mostly used as workout clothes, but man - I'd wear these out. They're lovely as hell. Some pieces are out-of-this-world expensive, but if you look hard enough (or peruse their sale section) you can find some crazy nice things that are humanly priced. I'm definitely going to have to add this to my list of good places to get gym clothes.
Oh! And before I forget, one thing that stands out about their stuff? They're so equal with having great women stuff as well as great men stuff. Both genders get equal space in a store! And I feel like that's pretty rare. In most stores, men usually get a shelf or two of decent items which is pathetic when compared with the sea of shawls, dresses and rompers that women are flooded with, typically speaking.
Most of their stuff is available on their site and on Urban Outfitters as well. You can find the retail posts of Without Walls in California, New York, Oregon and Washington. Exact locations can be found here.
This place is not new, but rather new to me. I’ve only bought a few things here and I’ve been very happy with all my purchases. Granted, some of the stuff is extraordinarily trashy, but some of the other stuff is beautiful and are things that I haven’t to been able to find anywhere else.
Anyway, if you’re a woman, take a look. If you’re a man? Sorry to have this focus on my gender. I know it’s hard for men to find clothing places that are actually good. Have you tried the men’s section at Zara? That’s something. Or take a look over here (but I have a feeling a lot of that list will be way too expensive for any normal human man). Yeah, actually that list sucks. I’ll come up with a real list aimed at men after I do some research.
