The Art of Versatility
When Priya Saraswati and Yugala Priti launched Saffron Rare Threads a little over a year ago, they were very precise in the selection of their name. It takes a thousand hand-picked threads of saffron to create a single ounce of this flavorful substance. It was the perfect embodiment of Saraswati and Priti's initial concept -- to create a line of clothing that symbolized the same impeccability and vividness as the world's most coveted spice. More

Let the Buying Begin
San Francisco launches its first fashion week ever at the Palace of Fine Arts from August 26th to August 29th. It is not only the first Fashion Week for this city but also the first to premier its Spring/Summer 2005 collections ahead of the other major fashion cities. Unlike many of the invite-only fashion shows held from the well-established circuits of New York, Paris, London and Milan, San Francisco is opening its event not only to retail buyers but also to the public who have the real purchasing power.

Spring Fashion Review
Are you tired of moping over the impact that Carrie Bradshaw (from Sex in the City) has on today's fashion? Perhaps we can take her lead and infuse some genius into our own closets with this spring's loverly, ladylike looks.
Spring is the best time to play with color, as evidenced by runways abloom with a palette of bright Easter egg hues. Canary yellow and lime green lead the way amplifying styles by Michael Kors and Stella McCartney. More

Spring is eternal in San Francisco
The power of flowers cannot be more seeded or rooted than in San Francisco. Within this fertile ground 'flower power' was sown and blossomed in a complicated realm of cultural, musical and political forums during the 1960s and 1970s. This summer we take inspiration from the 60s & 70s in a single and simpler forum: the forum of fashion. More

With all the creative folks who call San Francisco home, it's about time a shop successfully synthesized writings, art, homespun clothing, and accessories the way Needles & Pens does. Tucked away in the Mission, this gem of a d.i.y. store used to be the stuff of daydreams for Andrew Scott, a writer/designer who's been involved in the zine scene for years, and Breezy Strand Culbertson, a sewing machine queen. After returning from six months of travel, the couple decided to give themselves a job by opening a spot that incorporated their own interests as well as those of their artistic friends and the creative community in general...

A Cruelty Free Make Over
Alternative cosmetics have recently pegged a finger on the pulse of beauty culture. Take Urban Decay, for instance; the trend-setting cosmetics company famous for color names inspired by the sordid realities of urbania (Roach, Smog, Rust, Oil Slick and Acid Rain) has flouted the puke-perfect priss of conventional makeup lines for years. Then there's Real Cosmetics, the pioneering company launched by Lubna Khalid that addresses the absence of products catering to ethnic skin... More
