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.

Dubbed as a ‘lifestyle project’ drawing influences from Californian street culture, the store recently opened by LA-based The Hundreds in San Francisco has, hands down, the coolest fit-out I’ve ever seen. A pirate theme permeates every aspect of the store, from the black exterior resembling a cave to the internal pillars littered with skulls and busted skate decks. Strong downlights pierce through the dark interior, casting shadows from the depths of the sculptures. The message plastered across the fitting room wall even contemplates finding land using maps. In its entirety, the store creates an experiential, surreal environment to showcase what is a very cool, street and somewhat hip-hop inspired range of threads.
