Brian Janusiak and Elizabeth Beer, the duo behind Various Projects, recently opened their second retail establishment, Project No. 8b, in lower Manhattan. A sibling to the couple's acclaimed women's wear boutique just blocks away, Project No. 8b's equally minimal interior houses a tightly edited selection of men's apparel and accessories, many of which hail from Europe.

Switching his tune from record label entrepreneur to fashion designer, My Cousin Roy, aka Roy Dank's new clothing line Wurst perfectly channels the downtown-meets-uptown feel.
