Surfland


This is a gorgeous series of contemporary photographs of East and West coast surfers using a 19th century tintype method by Joni Sternbach. She describes her intent as wanting to contrast the primitive and the civilized self. via Visura Magazine

Revised Masterpiece.


No way. Bookstores are getting shipments of a significantly changed edition of Ernest Hemingway’s masterpiece, “A Moveable Feast,” first published posthumously by Scribner in 1964. This new edition, also published by Scribner, has been extensively reworked by a grandson who doesn’t like what the original said about his grandmother, Hemingway’s second wife. NYTimes.

Surf Nylons


I'm always interested in vintage nylon apparel because I'm curious how the colors age. Found this awesome collection of vintage surf nylons on NE Surfari- no idea if the colors have faded but they are certainly rich and interesting. The green and yellow Big Ed short is my favorite.

Atlantic Vinyl


Love the brown paper sleeve combined with the bright red label. It always interests me how many font styles there are in what seems like a relatively simple design. Image vis Carolina History Project

American Bohemian


With the increasing trend for revivalism of classic, traditional and preppy american style, I begin to hanker for the random, idiosyncratic, bohemian aesthetic of Paul Bowles in his ethnic shirt. The inevitable counter movement begins.

Rave On


I'm researching the early nineties San Francisco rave scene and loving the neon colors and the simple childlike aesthetics of glowsticks and lollipops. Got my rave on.

Woolen Mills


Iconic woolen mills Pendleton and Woolrich both have representation in the serious fashion arena this fall. Woolrich Woollen Mills is the collaboration with Daiki Suzuki and now Pendleton meets Opening Ceremony.
