Preview stills from a fashion rebrand we’re nearing completion on. A new vision for cashmere. Feels good.

These Bob Fried posters hung in my dad's studio in my childhood house, along with a few others pulled off of the streets of San Fran in the late 60s. The color layering process made for some truly eye-pleasing physical prints. Spent a looooot of time staring at them as a kid and thinking how I couldn't tell what they were trying to communicate, or if they were even trying to.

We recently worked with our good friends at littleBits to help showcase their Space Kit. Good fun at the Labour office – getting gold records, building crazy models, listening to Echoes p1/2 over and over again.

It's hard not to love art couple Hans and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The two made incredible and audacious leaps into organic and geometric abstraction, dada, and Bauhaus design against a backdrop of continuous continental war and destruction. An anecdote from a time when a rejection of reality was the only way to properly respond to creeping insanity:

Arp later told the story of how, when he was notified to report to the German consulate, he avoided being drafted into the German Army, he took the paperwork he had been given and, in the first blank, wrote the date. He then wrote the date in every other space as well, then drew a line beneath them and carefully added them up. He then took off all his clothes and went to hand in his paperwork.
