LA Times Magazine – 50 Signature Bags
LA Times Magazine did an awesome feature about 50, in this case 50 Signature Bags illustrated by Jameson Simpson
The web version is cool because it lets you select and view each bag. Here are my favorite:
Shepard Fairey x Arkitip
“Shepard Fairey returns to the pages of Arkitip with an issue release party at Alife in Hollywood. Marking the 51st issue of Arkitip, the new issue edition will be available along with special Obey + Arkitip + Alife commemorative tee shirts. Designed and produced specifically for the issue release.
Shepard Fairey will create a new site specific installation at the gallery location, complimented by a Fairey designed 14 x 48 ft. billboard directly above the gallery location that will be on view for one months time.”

Born Again Vintage
I recently discovered my new vintage bible. Born-Again Vintage: 25 Ways To Deconstruct, Reinvent, and Recycle Your Wardrobe by Bridgett Artise and Jen Karetnick.
Born-Again Vintage includes a comprehensive and savvy guide to some of the best vintage stores in the USA, but it differs dramatically from the thousands of vintage shopping manuals in that it actually teaches you how to buy dated, often irrelevant pieces and transform them into modern, chic, sexy-fresh fashion! They appeal to out inner fashion designer by giving us the tools to envision and construct our very own works of art.
Since we are in a recession, why not try to spend a few hours in a vintage store to find/create your own signature piece?
