Bad press/ dissident ironing:
uses men's shirts to rethink the everyday task
of ironing, coming up with unexpected alternatives
for folding, buttoning and pressing a man's shirt.
...examining expectations of
domestic perfection.

"They'll talk to ya and
talk to ya and talk to ya
about individual freedom.
But they see a free individual,
it's gonna scare 'em."

a history of denim

demin, ie: jean
is probably the most
versatile and democratic
material in fashion history

and its a product of U.S.A.



we may not have couture or expert
european tailoring, but America
has always had its denim.
ah, the daisy miller of
fashion!

today,
denim transcends
social and economic lines;
blurring all notions of
causal / formal.

in the end,
it all comes down to the
individual and what he or she
is about at that very moment.
we wear denim.



then again, I still admire my
grandmother's incredible elegance,
and her refusal to wear denim at all costs.

there is a beauty in that as well.

this morning.

thinking of luddite
my new favorite store.
this is the owner's band.

the things we carry



people carry lots of different things
but there is nothing like that
one notebook in your bag
where you scribble
names, numbers,
discoveries,
lists.

SPACE PROGRAM
by tom sachs.

so good.
because the book
has over 200 photographs
of the interior spaces & architectural
details of the NASA space program.
plus, the pages are laminated.
(you could use Windex!)

I like his Unité as well.
