Virgin Threads, one of the best places to find emerging designers' work on the internet, is now known as Stars and Infinite Darkness. The new name is based in part on "...how I see the designers on my website as small stars," says Jason Yang, the owner of Stars and Infinite Darkness. [StyleChronicles profiled Virgin Threads back in July 2005... read the article]. Yang has tons of new additions to make now that the site has made the switch to its celestial new name--be sure to check out Lorraine McCue's Stitched Scarf for keeping warm throughout the winter, and Stella Neptune's skull-adorned blazers and shirts. Also check out Steve Rosswick's collection of men's tees--which are equal parts fun and functional (be sure to check out his "Bonsai?" tree shirt). In addition to these updates, Jason says that the launch of the new name will also bring about other changes to the site. "We'll be focusing on more international designers as well as finding more unusual and edgier items," Jason states. Yang's talent for spotting emerging designers is part of the success of the site, and allows many artists to get the exposure they need to make a name for themselves--these two features make it one to watch in the coming months.Photo courtesy of Lorraine McCue on Stars and Infinite Darkness.
