Lucky Sevens

July 16, 2006 | Buzz, Sites to Visit

Liliputians NYC is currently one of the LUCKY 7 (sharing the spotlight with tiny houses, fairy bubbles, pvc clothing, historical wedding fashions, zombie cartoon clothing, and handbags of used tractor tires) on Chateau Bizarre, a site that aims to bring attention to smaller merchants and independent designers, the latest fashion finds, and exotic amusements.

I really like this fun and quirky site with its oddities and their loathing of “big-box stores and strip malls that are drowning every city in the same old corporate logos, giving incredibly diverse places a depressing, ugly sameness.” The site’s creators, writer Lilah Wild and artist/programmer Stray Tenebrae, feel that, “Talent can surface in the most surprising places, and it’s not always in the established design houses. Our portal ranges from established high-end fetish labels to teenage enterprises kicking out backpacks in an attic studio. All are welcome.”
