Brief Missives

Industrial rotary cutter!



It's an engine, with a circular blade attached. When our instructor told us about the industrial rotary cutter, I thought it would just be a really heavy duty cutter. Like the ones you used for quilting, but maybe made of metal. Not so!

Hey, did you know that Amy Butler's husband designed a manly fabric collection? Also, he has a very nice studio.

Why didn't I visit the Bookhou shop when I was in Toronto? Oh well, I'll just console myself with their etsy shop. This husband and wife team specialize pleasing wood, ceramic and textiles that have a distict Lotta Jansdotter-ish feel. I might need to buy myself this clutch as a birthday present. There's more wood-grain-and-linen goodness at their blog.

An article in issue 10 of MatchBook offers photographic evidence that Kate Spade stocks her home bar with my favourite gin. Also! A country estate fashion editorial with miniature goats.

Fashion be crazy! Drop-crotch skinny jeans: Like hammer pants, but skinny. And denim.

No less crazy: Thom Browne's fall 2012 menswear collection includes crop-tops, Frankenstein silhouettes, frumpy secretary skirts, and dog prints.
