having recently discovered how smashingly simple it is to sew a reasonably cute dress from scratch (“scratch” being 3 or 4 yards of fabric, and also some thread and some buttons), we encourage you to visit reprodepot fabrics, where one can find many yards of super cute material. if, having heeded our advice, you are [...]

black & white photography, skinny boys, rock n roll, close-ups, aesthetically pleasing compositions, tattoos, astronauts, an interesting eye for detail, and/or, feeling hip by association, check out hedi slimane’s diary. there are no words, only photos, but they are photos that carry a serious vibe along with them. they feel true (they also feel like [...]
