Buy Quality Wedding Dresses and Occasion Dresses Online! - FishIntheSky.com How Microsoft's Kinect Could Replace Your Tailor (No Pins Required) Raj Sareen is the CEO of Styku, a “virtual fitting room” whose offices I visited over a year ago (see: “The Avatar’s New Clothes”). Styku has since pivoted to focus its body-scanning efforts on the Kinect, and was recently named one of the first batch of startups in Microsoft’s Kinect Accelerator program. I called up Sareen to learn how Styku has progressed, and whether it still struggled with what Sareen’s father had told me was one of the most vexing problems in clothing: how to fit the many shapes and sizes of the breast. FAST COMPANY: Long time no chat. RAJ SAREEN: It’s been a while since you wrote about how my dad said no two boobs are alike. Catch us up on what Styku has been up to since we last spoke. "It’s going to end up being a very disruptive technology that changes the apparel industry, making it smarter and more efficient." In June 2011 we launched our application, without Kinect, on a site called Billy Blues. So you’re in Redmond now? We didn’t know that either. Exactly.

Objects of Affection: Thorogood for Epaulet No. 685 Boots in Horsehide « Black and Tanned NY October 14, 2010 by Jonathan I was curious about these since I got a chance to see a sneak peek in store a while back. I’ve been officially fiending for them since they dropped a couple of weeks ago and abstract curiosity about a future release rapidly mutated into a very real desire to “Own! Own now!” Thorogood‘s No. 685 boot is a plain-toed, 7-eyelet work boot that was originally sold as a “Job-Fitted Work Shoe for Farm Wear” back when it was introduced in the 1950′s. Though the boots’ true workwear lineage probably won’t be fully realized by the many folks like me who are more likely to wear these on the sidewalk than the fields, the handsome ruggedness that springs from their utilitarian origins certainly ain’t nothing to sneeze at. Luckily, “rugged” doesn’t translate to “clunky” here. These would look great paired with jeans, a heavyweight chino, or gray tweed trousers. In terms of materials and construction, these boots far outshine what one might expect from their $245 pricetag.
