None other than Paris' Colette will be taking in Browne' for a short time, a store within the store being turned into a European version of Browne's Tribeca atelier.

Bigger closets or a leaky roof rank high in reasons we would be compelled to move. Komakino in Vancouver dutifully moves every so often to stay true to its "guerrilla store" concept. Of course, moving a bunch of times is not enough. The shop also carries an astonishingly dead on assortment of men's clothing and accessories. European and Japanese avant-garde standard bearers form the foundation of the shop, while obscure labels just finding their niche add a bit of intrigue and restlessness.

If you can't seek out the physical store, Komakino displays all their inventory online and takes orders via e-mail.

Originally a costume and set designer, Belgian Natalia Brilli started designing fashion accessories in 2003 for Rochas. After 3 year at Rochas she started her eponymous label in 2005. Her pieces often use leather as a sculptural element, sometimes shaping and intertwining it with various metals. Dark and dramatic, Victorian influences and aesthetics in her work are clear.

Her Fall 2008 collection is now available at Gravity Pope Tailored Goods. Thanks to reader Aryen for the tip.
