Needless to say, I’ve got my Spring wardrobe all sorted out.

Jean-Claude Vannier and his orchestra working with Yves Saint-Laurent in the early 70s.

The theme of the nineth issue of Here and There is HER LIFE. It deals with the various factors that make up the many waves in a woman’s life, such as working, becoming pregnant, giving birth. The colorful stories told by Elein Fleiss, Laetitia Bena, Yurie Nagashima, Miranda July, Midori Araki and Aiko Yamada, reflect each of their lives.

Wear 2008, the journal of Elaine W. Ho/Homeshop, Beijing is now available.

Wear is a new independent artist-run publication from Beijing. In part a documentation of a series of public activities, discussions and interventions organised at HomeShop space during the 2008 Olympic Games, the first issue of Wear also serves as a broader platform to invite other artists, writers and contributors to reflect upon — from the point of view of a small alleyway in the centre of Beijing — a spectacular everyday amidst broader contemporary urban sociopolitics.

Wear is distributed in North America by Textfield or contact your local bookshop.

Deeper and deeper from Erotica 1992 — I love seeing video of Los Angeles in the early 1990s, so fucking dope!

“You got to just let your body move to the music
You got to just let your body go with the flow
Falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I can’t keep from falling in love with you
You know there’s nothing better that I’d like to do”

Thanks Marc

My old friend Steven from the RF days, photographer and assistant to Terry Richardson, has just launched his own website which features some of his editorial work and a blog.

Rachel Santoro is a good friend of mine and a total hero. I can’t wait for her to get her collection going, this is a first look at her fashion vision and potential. Watch her space…

After several weeks of preparation with Harsh and 9 straight days of intense/hard work by our students at CalArts (and our Teachers Assistant Diego), we are finished with Practicum! For our Practicum (Textfield Workshop), we had the students make their own book/mag/zine. In order to make a magazine in such a short period, Harsh and I selected 2 formats for them to work with, developed a Content Library and a limited Type Library. Students paired themselves into groups of 2 — each group was responsible for selecting a topic and compiling, editing and laying out their own 16-page Signature (112 pages total). We couldn’t have been more excited with the results.

Special thanks goes to our Teachers Assistant Diego Padilla, who went above and beyond to make sure the students kept on top of their work and contributed so much to the critiques, really outstanding — Also Stacey Hauge Printing in Valencia, who did an amazing job of folding, trimming and binding our Project. Dennis (owner), Bryan and their staff, spent over 3 hours working closely with us and (unexpectedly) did our job Pro Bono — we cannot thank you enough for your time, experience and generosity.

Dennis has 8 adopted German Shepherds — please visit the German Shepherd Rescue website for more information.
