School Supplies: Gilt Fuse

Many of us are long familiar with the exclusive members-only sample sale mecca that is Gilt Groupe. For the past two years founders Alexis and Alexandra have offered men, women, children and homes luxury goods at ridiculously pocket-friendly sale prices. Now the overwhelming success of Gilt has allowed A&A to further their stake on upscale e-commerce.

Enter Gilt Fuse, the original's twenty-something little sister you can find gracing a Mark Hunter party album or the pages of Nylon (forget thrift store couture, she's the one in the lamé top and Ksubi stovepipes). Barely a few weeks old, Gilt Fuse currently offers only womens apparel that falls under the category of undeniably hip, fierce and very, very bright. Since membership was extended only to existing Gilt members, you're still going to need a personal invite if you're an outsider but it's well worth the trouble. If you want in, leave us your e-mail addy and we'll send an invitation your way. Hurry though, the WeSC sale ends at 9 AM PST on Sunday the 24th and there are still plenty of those ultra-fly, bright pink Gullmaj nylon jackets to be scooped up for $44 instead of $121. Now that's unbeatable.
