In 2011 Zhao Wu and Chen-Ling Fan decided to solve an all-too-familiar problem – how to offer interesting basics without breaking the customers’ bank. Thus VOIDTHEBRAND, the line of not-so-basic men’s tops was born.
The business opportunity seemed a no-brainer. There clearly is a void to fill, as there is significant demand from those who want to neither pay $350 for a designer t-shirt nor be stuck with a run-of-the-mill crewneck offered by mass market retailers.
Dear readers,
We would like to present the Fall/Winter 2013 collection by the German artisanal jeweler Werkstatt:Munchen. This season, in addition to their usual offerings, W:M wanted to experiment with leather and added a few interior design pieces with new treatments.
Earlier this month we presented Barny Nakhle’s men’s collection of footwear. Here is the women’s counterpart for next season.
Nakhle’s footwear is available at LN-CC in London, H.Lorenzo in Los Angeles, and other shops around the world.
Rigards, the eyewear brand, began as a collaboration between two friends in Los Angeles. Jean Marc Virard and Ti Kwa, both self-professed “four-eyes for life” and avid collectors of glasses were not quite satisfied by what was available on the market.
In particular they were drawn by the traditional way of making frames from horn, a sustainable, natural material. A green light went on and they got into the game.

Individual Sentiments
The new Sruli Recht store is located in the cent re of Reykjavík. The new store presents Sruli Recht’s complete collections, show pieces, and arsenal of non-products over two floors.
The fittings and tables are made using laser cut layer slices of three dimensional models, then hand assembled and stained white.
The lighting fixtures designed by Sruli Recht were made for the store in collaboration with lighthouse.is.
New seasons are presented to clients personally with private fitting appointments available.
Here at StyleZeitgeist we are fascinated with all things Belgian. There is just something in the air in that country – a mix of unparalleled cultural literacy and awareness coupled with a lack of snobbery so often found in design capitals of the world – that makes Belgian design both prescient and fresh. Below, our Brussels-based editor, Philippe Pourhashemi, reports on his Belgian interior design finds during Milan Design Week.
