ps:
the weight
of black & red
and the return
of the bust.

do you separate
work from living?

when you live
in small spaces
sometimes you
have to work
where you
sleep.



some
people
like it



others
need a more
formal separation





is work
your life?



or is something that
can be turned on


...and
turned off.

the last great
model maker
in NYC

ben was already
back to work after
an exhausting month
of fashion week prep

most of the belts
bags and accessories
you see on the runways
were stitched, worked
and realized by ben


carolina herrera
oscar de la renta
zac posen, etc

ben is the ultimate
problem solver

he realizes your
designs "if you have
a dollar and a dream"

in ben's sun soaked
working studio on grand st
we talked about that most violent
day of our life - september 11
and how we don't forget.



the importance
of collaboration in the
creative process




the efficiency
of a clean mess




and what it's like
to get a frantic request
from a designer 2 days!
before a runway show.

lester beall
was the man


i like color
when it's done with
architectonic
clarity




i like design to be
semantically correct
syntactically consistent,
and pragmatically
understandable.

fashion people
at fashion events
are so tense.

people smile
when you smile.
