I’ve collaborated with San Francisco-based fashion designer Sharareh Lotfi on her last two collections. Recently, I created illustrations for her Fall 11 look book. Her line, Lotfi, is a true DIY operation: all textile patterns, styles, and manufacture are done in house. The textile designs in particular are quite striking. I only wish Lotfi had menswear. I guess I’ll just have to man it up and wear a silk scarf.

When I went to see Gene Wilder speak, all the know-alls in the audience kept asking questions, not to find out anything, but just to show off to the room how much they knew about film making. He got annoyed. Genius boy genius.

Despite their jarring name, British noise duo Fuck Buttons are surprisingly palatable. The band’s long, droning tracks are infused with sweet twinkles and sunny synth, but dark shards of ominous guitar overdrive and distorted screeches pierce the shimmering surface just when you’re ready to zone out. Danceable beats occasionally draw everything back together, creating a stormy, pulsing, and disorienting atmosphere.
Created by Aussie label Eleventh Commandment on 100 percent premium combed cotton, the design on this tee is a hand-sketch by Sydney artist Joshua Oldfield of Kate Moss enjoying some coke. As she does!
