Carin Wester online shop
Like a cuckolded lover, I spent countless months struggling through Scandinavian fashion websites for any glimpse of Carin Wester. A little grey jumpsuit here, a cropped turtle neck knit there. Words like ‘skor' and ‘skyddsomslag' rolled forth from my tongue, I could convert the Swedish Kroner into Australian dollars whilst assembling an Olof lamp and eating the meatballs I'd gotten from the IKEA foodcourt.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
With Viktor and Rolf's ready-to-wear looking more like something you'd don in a parallel universe where it's possible to wear architecturally sculpted cutout purple tulle without getting stuck in the elevator - (who am I kidding, they wouldn't have elevators there, they'd float between streams of being in boats made of fairy floss and twine) - it's kind of refreshing to find a label taking things towards the specific and fundamental characteristics of clothing design.
Skinny Nelson and Friends
Finally an eco-friendly clothing line that doesn't come with obligatory bongo drums and the constant urge to roll up your hemp trousers into a big fat beige-coloured dooby.
Jacqui Alexander and Zac Midalia are the smarts behind Skinny Nelson and Friends, an Australian basics label with the environmental conscience of Al Gore and the clean lines and wearability to rival the front runners of Swedish-pioneered understated cool.
For JD - With Love and Squalor
France you have given me many things - family holidays in the mountains when all the cool kids went to the beach, long car journeys reading until it made me spew, Dad being slapped in the face by a monkey, a pontoon face-plant while trying to impress the lake boys with my front flip, Serge cassette tapes on repeat, castles, wineries, ravioli in a can.
The Small Chair (The McSweeney's iPhone App)
McSweeney's, those bleeding heart suppliers of hope to disenfranchised hardcover-speciality-dust-jacket-book-lovers of the world, have come up with an iPhone app. It's called 'The Small Chair' and it costs $6.80 from iTunes. What the hell is going on? Jeremy spoke with Eli Horowitz, publisher and captain of the good pirate ship Valencia, to find out.
Tavi Spacegirl T-shirts
What were you doing when you were 13? I think I was probably still taping my boobs like Christina Ricci in Now and Then, riding my bike around the block, scuffing my knees, and playing detective typing games on my Atari 8-bit. So I'm not THAT old (we had an IBM with dial-up) but there's no way I knew how a blog is, what a blog does.
Ordinary Magazine
What David Lynch showed us with Blue Velvet was how beneath the ordinary, everyday life... there's some creepy shit going on. What we try and show each week with SixThousand is how beneath the ordinary, everyday life, there's some awesome shit going on.
Ordinary Magazine shows us that there's a fine line between creepy and awesome.
