Feuding for more than thirty years, the Manganaro brothers have run two competing and neighboring businesses since the 50's on Ninth Avenue. And no matter which side of the debate you side on, the closing of Manganaro's Groceria, opened in the late 19th century, heralds the death of an institution and perhaps the final chapter of a fascinating New York story.

The other day and for whatever reason, a friend and I were talking about the GI Joe aircraft carrier, a mutual object of desire as kids, which lead me to looking it up which lead me HERE.
My good friends at Apolis have let loose their Spring Standard Issue looks today and as usual, it's great stuff. Military-inspired. Utilitarian. Clean and modern. Sharp updated classics. It's a Spring collection focused on fit and fabrication with manufacturing largely kept local to the Parton's sunny(jealous) Southern California HQ.
Rewatched recently while under the weather. Beautiful Losers, 2008. Dir. x Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard. A longtime favorite of Secret Forts. Saw so many TWIST(TWISTER, TWISTO, MR. TWIST, etc.) tags go up in San Francisco in the early '90s just to see them disappear by morning.
Back in October of last year, the Corsillo brothers got some friends together, packed a few bags full of The Hill-Side's forthcoming Spring '11 line, enlisted the talent of our man, photographer Antony Crook and enjoyed cocktails and an incredible meal prepared by our friends at The Hope Street Supper Club. In addition to shooting the lookbook, which you'll see in a week or so, video was shot. Sandy provided a steady hand, pushing Antony on a skateboard used as a dolly. So without further ado, Secret Forts is stoked to present your first look at The Hill-Side Spring '11 lookbook video. Enjoy and look for Spring to start hitting stores sometime next week.
