"Long Live McQueen" T-Shirts
To celebrate the life and legacy of Alexander McQueen, we've partnered with Christopher Sauvé (designer of our "Save Anna" tees) to bring you this commemorative T-shirt. In McQueen's honor, a portion of proceeds will go to the Terrence Higgins Trust, the largest HIV/AIDS organization in the UK—which he long supported, his rep tells us. The unisex shirt features the designer's pensive visage set against a graphic background of roses and the heart-felt words "Long Live McQueen."
(Now accepting pre-orders, to be shipped March 16.)
$65
Details: American Apparel classic men's crew neck, which we're told women prefer to the women's cut. When laid flat, the length from underarm to underarm seam is 17.5" (small), 19.5." (medium) and 21.5" (large). White 100% cotton jersey, may shrink slightly when washed.

Priestess NYC Bangles
We've long been fans of the "go big or go home" ethos—and yes, that applies to jewelry, too. But while we wouldn't call Priestess NYC's bangles "statement jewelry," they nevertheless beg to be seen. And squeezed, because they're made from a blend of organic cotton, silk and foam. Inspired by The A Team (Mr. T did love his bling) and Miami Vice, the bracelets are clearly 80s-reminiscent, surprisingly versatile and made to be layered. We got our hands on a limited quantity of black and white with silver accents that sold out at Colette and Apartment, plus a Hint exclusive: black on black. Now get stacked.
$8 (single) / $20 (x3)
Details: approximately 4" in diameter, made of organic cotton, silk and foam interior.

Pattern People Tribute Totes
Not long ago we started selling tote bags with illustrations of Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs enshrined in their trademark goodness. Little did we know they would fly off our server like porn, instantly becoming the most popular items we've ever peddled in the Hint Shop. Now our friends at Pattern People—who not only make patterns/prints for Nike, Vans and Stussy, but also create cutting-edge wallpapers and huge wrap-around room murals—are back with another pair of limited-edition tribute totes exclusively for Hint. This time the noble busts of Prince and Michael Jackson sit nestled in their own trademarks, from doves and gloves to Corvettes and Bubbles, with Prince even appearing in his luscious royal purple. Better still (and unfortunately you can't tell from the pics), both icons come in a subtle sparkle. Plus, we even have a few Karls and Marcs left from the third reprint, if you want to keep it in the fashion family. But move fast, these bags don't stick around.
$50
Details: 18"w x 15"h (excluding handle), black and purple ink on 100% natural cotton canvas.

General Idea T-Shirts
General Idea—a street-inspired, high-end men's line from South Korea—was the sleeper hit of the New York spring collections, and we're not just saying that to sell merch. We seriously heard more than one stylist gush about the stateside debut of designer Bumsuk Choi, who's shown the line in Seoul for several seasons, becoming the youngest designer to join Seoul Fashion Week. A part-time DJ, he's also collaborated with Puma, Heineken, Absolut and Renault on the design of a race car. You could say he's the South Korean Rei Kawakubo, and to prove it, the words on these shirts appear to make sense ("The world is not enough..."), only to turn conceptual, curl around the back and end in gibberish. Very Comme.
$60
Details: 100% cotton, comes in nice packaging.

Nightshades by Pleasure Principle
These Nightshades from Pleasure Principle came about from the idea of selling sunglasses in vending machines at nightclubs. Why? For that crushing moment you realize it's dawn and you're minutes away from your walk of shame. But with 100% UV protection, the frameless shades, which uncoil like film, work perfectly well all day long.
Incredulous they would stay on, we gave them a test drive on a hot and steamy day. Sure enough, they didn't fall off at all, tenaciously yet delicately gripping the temples. The first in a series of reinterpreted products from Pleasure Principle, the shades are a steal at only $20. Besides, who doesn't want to play out their Corey Hart, 80's fantasies (or memories) and wear their sunglasses at night?
$20
Details: 100% UV protection, comes in simple white paper sleeve, one size fits all, can be born on your wrist for easy storage!
