Sometimes you just don’t want to commit to a proper bed frame. The solution? Platform beds. Sleek and low to the ground, these prop you up just enough to make you feel like you’re not permanently couch surfing in your own apartment but not too high so that you feel like you’ve over-committed to an intense decorating scheme. Perfect for space-starved, transient New Yorkers.

![The Construction Book
We love a good gem when we hear one. Here’s a recommendation from Zeb Stewart, co-owner and creative visionary behind Cafe Colette, Hotel Delmano, and Union Pool cocktail bars in Brooklyn. “This is just, like, your everything book,” he tells Esquire. “[It’s] produced by this huge hardware warehouse out in New Jersey, McMaster-Carr. It used to only be available to the construction trade, so it was like a badge of honor to own one.”
Lucky for us we found a few of these bad boys for sale on eBay.

Constantin Brâncuși was one wild man. The Romanian stone cutter was described as a “pleasure seeker and merrymaker in his bohemian circle” according to Wikipedia. Aside from smokes, booze, and women, Brancusi was a world-class sculptor in the 1910s and 1920s… a true genius.
The more we learn about the man, the more we love him. Spotted on eBay are some original signed sculptures from the artist himself, posted by art aficionados. There’s also some affordable replicas if you’re looking for that stuff, too. Take a look at the Brancusi selections here. (Don’t forget to read ratings for the most respected sellers).

Belgian photographer Willy Vanderperre’s work possesses the chic, muted sobriety that has garnered him clients like Jil Sander and AnOther Magazine, both arbiters of serious cool in their own right. Often shooting in black and white, Vanderperre’s photos, while still very much in keeping with fashion, tell stories… exquisitely beautiful stories.

They’re back. We’ve been seeing overalls pop up recently, and with a lot universal enthusiasm. (Did you check out our amazing shot of Taja Barber wearing denim overalls and sneakers at NYC’s Governors Ball? Or Philosophy’s fitted overalls from their last collection?). We’re loving the model-off-duty style of Tilda Lindstam seen here. This time, they’re a little cropped at the ankle and baggy through the waist. If you’re keen to get some overalls of your own, click here to see the selection available on eBay.

This weekend it seemed like everyone was streaming the leaked Kanye West album, set to release this Tuesday. From the sound of it, it promises to be another game-changing series of tracks. Not one to be fenced in, the star has definitely made his impact on the merchandising world. Just for kicks, we did a Kanye search query on eBay and came up with loads of West-inspired goods, from the Givenchy shirts he has made so popular to the BAPE Kanye West 20th Anniversary Tee to Louis Vuitton sneakers. It’s all there… just for you.
