This season’s must-have item: an original thought. Autumn is all about casting aside the fashion magazine and deciding what to wear on your own.

Take a cue from Seattle couturier Niilartey De Osu. His line, Neodandi, mangles conventional “wardrobe essentials,” albeit artistically.

Omnio, a series of punked-out LBDs, perfectly expresses his Audrey Hepburn-meets-Sid Vicious aspirations. The Glory Be Thy Name collection hinges on the white button-up, combined and deconstructed as beautifully complex dresses and shirts. Even the jersey sweatshirt gets some attention in PE’s (Physical Education) reimagined casual wear.

De Osu customizes every piece in his new studio (opening tomorrow) to the individual. Stop in and catch various avant-garde performances (music, theater, dance) on a weekend evening while you shop.

It’s exactly how you should spend your Saturday night.

But who are we to tell you?
