ACTION SHOES: PF FLYERS Pretty Fly for a Old-school retro is still all the rage in sneakerland, and PF Flyers, relaunched by New Balance in 2003, are hitting their stride this holiday season with a few new collections. Guys, get your feet in these black snake and silver-embossed leather “Glides” ($140), and you’ll be a hit on more than just the sandlot. Ladies can get in on the game, too, with neon crinkled patent leather pintails ($70). Go to www.pfflyers.com PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK: STYLIST The Faces Behind the Fashion Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Steven Klein: The names of the world’s most celebrated fashion photographers are as familiar as the designers whose clothing their cameras so beautifuly capture. But look just below the photographer’s credit on any fashion story and you’ll find the unsung heroes of most shoots: the stylist. In Stylist: The Interpreters of Fashion, out this month from Style.com and Rizzoli, the stunning work of 16 names to know take centerstage. With a forward by Anna Wintour herself, Carine Roitfeld, Grace Coddington, Alex White, Paul Cavaco (above), and others finally get their due. $75. Available at book stores everywhere. MUSIC: RADIOHEAD & SIGUR ROS Free Tunes, If You So Choose Love them or hate them, Radiohead’s new album, In Rainbows, is going to be the biggest record of the fall—that isn’t available in stores. Head to the band’s website to download the album directly and pay whatever you want, or shell out £40 for a “discbox” collector’s edition, available in December. We’ve already reserved ours. If Brits aren’t your bag, check out Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Ros’s new DVD, Heima. Featuring live performances cut with stupidly beautiful shots of Iceland, the film is sure to please at least two of your senses. We also can’t seem to get Vampire Weekend off our earbuds. A preppy post-collegiate four piece, these up-and-comers churn out pop gems somewhere between Paul Simon and Strunk & White. Look for a full-length later this year on XL records. —ANTHONY CROSS Go to www.inrainbows.com, www.sigur-ros.co.uk, and www. vampireweekend.com 22 CI T Y N ATA L I E P O RT M A N : P H OTO B Y M I C H A E L T H O M P S O N , S T Y L I N G B Y PAU L CAVAC O , A L LU R E , 2 0 0 2 . http://www.pfflyers.com http://Style.com http://www.vampireweekend.com http://www.inrainbows.com http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk http://www.vampireweekend.com
