Barcelona-based Santa & Cole was founded in 1985 by Javier Nieto Santa, Gabriel Ordeig Cole, and Nina Masó, a trio of design professionals. Their mission was simple. “Our purpose is not to accumulate but rather to choose, not to enjoy thanks to the quantity but rather the quality.” Santa & Cole pieces are available in the USA through Ameico.

Golden Goose knows exactly how to deliver the goods. Their Ale sneaker that Selectism tipped us off to is a great white high top for the summer time. Its already-worn look is exactly the look we weren’t going for. Until we saw these. Now, I can’t think to go to a fresh white pair of tennis sneakers that bring tears to my eyes when harmed ever-so-slightly. “Freshly stained to look like you walked over fresh tarmac, the Golden Goose Ale sneaker is available for that person who simply cannot stomach getting their own kicks dirty.”

Josh Spear turns us to Coto‘s latest collection of luxury accessories. All Coto products are designed to promote a sartorial and sustainable lifestyle. Did we mention they’re designed and developed in New York City. That alone is a good enough reason for us to give them a try. The ties specifically are made from natural silk woven in England, hand sewn in the Big Apple. hey’ve also got some great cufflinks made from things like South American corozo nut, natural briar root, leather rope, and indian head nickels.

Hulu is looking to take a piece of that pie that Windows Media Center, Netflix, Boxee and all those other set ups were eating so casually. Now, Hulu Desktop is sure to change the media streaming spectrum by providing a sleek, sharp interface that’s compatible with Mac & PC six button remotes. So what sets it apart from the rest? Well, it’s got Time-Based browsing that allows you to sort programming from when it first aired as well as a Recommendations section that takes in to account what you’ve recently watched.
Guess Hulu Labs, the site’s experiment division, is getting off on the right foot.

Zaha Hadid never ceases to amaze us. Her architecture is phenominal and her forthcoming project in Cairo, Egypt will surely be no different. The Stone Towers will occupy 525,000 sqm of land, bringing office and retail spaces, a five-star business hotel with serviced apartments, and sunken landscaped gardens and plaza called the Delta.

This summer, we’re going to be blessed with Common Projects’ first-ever pair of sunglasses, the Type 001. Crafted and designed in collaboration with Moscot Originals, these flat-black frames have a hefty look but are surprisingly light, with a hint of enamel at the temple where the metal accent would be on a traditional Wayfarer. The trademark CP gold lettering is hidden inside the arms, leaving every passer wondering where you got this pair of basic frames.
Buy It: This July at Moscot stores and online
