Circa 79

As I get older, I love coming home and digging through old photo albums and yearbooks. Digital photography is great, but the quality will never be the same.

It's All In The Bag

I saw an interesting article in the NY Times about the recent attention being paid to packaging, especially shopping bags. You've probably seen the Saks new identity and the striking bags on the streets. David Lipman, who I used to work for, is featured for the work he's done re-positioning Lord & T...

Ricky G in NYC

Best Xmas present has to be tickets to see my favorite comedian, Ricky Gervais, live n' direct at the Madison Square Garden in NYC. If you don't know him, he created the TV shows The Office and Extras... pure self-deprecating genius. I guess he's so big in America now that tickets just went on sale ...

Happy Holidays

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season. I'm not really into the commercialized Xmas thing, but I have to say I have a soft spot for this time of year. I guess its dates back to the days of old... no school, snow (growing in up DC), and hot chocolate. My parents also went the extra mile t...

Goodies

Some early holiday love dropped through the post... If you didn't know, Tretorn is back. The Swedish shoe brand was popular in the 80s and have recently been acquired by PUMA. They are doing some cool things, including collaborations with shops like Opening Ceremony. Thanks a lot to my man ...

Bits n Pieces

It's nice to see a new blog from the Paris/NYC design agency Work In Progress. They are doing some of the nicest design work in the fashion industry for my taste, and you know Self Service is amazing. The much anticipated T Magazine site is finally here. Beautiful. I'm happy to be invo...

MFT Holiday 07

Its the holiday season again, and time to celebrate 1 year of MFT- the club night. It was around this time last year that we came up with the festive offshoot to Rude Movements with PUMA. From the amazing Taylor McFerrin/Karizma collaboration, to Tiombe Lockhart and Recloose, its been a great year...

Europe Recap

Just touched down from a great trip through Europe. It was a fun time with my man Has exploring new cities and hooking up with old friends. I'm usually not cut out for these extended journeys, but thanks to all of our gracious hosts (and also to Samsonite on the new rolling luggage piece), we felt r...

Uptown/Downtown

Have you seen the new Belvedere Vodka TV spots? They've enlisted Terry Richardson to shoot a downtown party scene with the likes of Vincent Gallo, and other cult figures like the Irak crew. Kinda crazy, I heard it cost $20 Million to make.
