Fancy footwork


Style expert Robert Verdi -- who I have now seen in person twice so, as celebrity law dictates, next time he owes me dinner -- took his collection of vintage Hermès scarves to the alternative brand Vans of all places to inspire this pair of very fancy shoes. Strong work, Verdi. Pick me up at 8.

Not from Wisconsin -- these are the Pennsylvania kind. All excited to see me.

Made here


MADE HERE - TIM WHITTEN from Jay Carroll on Vimeo.

Goddammit, Levi's. 

One of the brands that I love to hate (the other begins with a "j" and ends with a "crew") actually came up with what is, in my opinion, their coolest project since inventing the 501. The denim jerks teamed up with Jay Carroll of One Trip Pass to bring us, the humble consumer, a brief glimpse into the lives of those not-so-endangered craftspeople who are dedicated to putting beautiful things out into the world. First up in the Made Here line: Tim Whitten of Stonington, Maine who brings old-fashioned sailor knotting into the here and now. Check out their story here and then get the actual goods at a sad number of select stores across the country. 

Touché, Levi's. Touché.
