Despite never having been to Coney Island (my 2004 NY trip wasn’t quite long enough to take it in) I do like the way that it finds the infamous rollercoaster has found its way onto lots of apparel.

Paper-doll clothing seems to be a great site for girls’ who feel that they just don’t get enough selection at male-dominated webstores. The Coney Island Cyclone Rollercoaster ‘batwing top’ that I’ve chosen is pretty cool, kinda understated, with lower-left positioning. It has that classic feel with independent clothing that people who know, know, you know?

Costiness=$55 Canadian Dollars, available here.

Brooklyn Industries may have only been featured yesterday, but they hooked me up with the Cyclone tee from their new line of Coney Island inspired designs which arrived today and I wanted to review it as soon as I could. Which meant that once again I got to pretend to be a model (because all models take pictures of themselves in the bathroom).The shirt is real nice, I don’t know what they print onto but its good and soft. The design is interesting, a mix of detail (the coaster) and simple rounded shapes (the sea?). Also, I’ve never owned an ‘eggplant’ coloured shirt, I usually stick to the regular ‘man’ colours (black, blue, red, grey, blue), but I really like this.

One great little detail is actually on the back, and I love printing on the back! It’s a ticket to/for Coney Island (I never made it there when I visited NY so I don’t know how that works), which is a really good idea for the new line.

If you want a 10% discount on your order you can use the coupon code “skyline06″, as was mentioned by Shimone yesterday.

Costiness=$28, URL here, and their stores throughout the New York area.

Thanks again to Allison at BI for getting me involved with promoting the new line, they’ve been featured in a lot of really impressive publications (Newsweek > HYA) so its nice to be thought of.

There’s a fair few pictures after the jump, including that ticket detail.
