QUOTABLES!
quote of the day
I hate that people say, "You were a skater?" I was part of that I guess, that group, so we skated every day. For like, 10 years. Because it's part of me. I mean, and you go somewhere, and you take your skateboard, like the first time you go to a city, you take that, with your friends, and it's a big part of, like, discovering the city. And you meet people there, that are also doing that. It's a community. And it's a worldwide community. It's a common language. That is how I discovered cities, and got to know people, and music. And all that sort of stuff.

DOVER STREET MARKET just dropped a capsule collection with NYC skate blog QUARTERSNACKS. The collection itself isn't anything game-changing -- simple, clean graphic tees, crew necks, and hoodies -- but that DSM continues to support brands that emerged from the world of skateboarding like QUARTERSNACKS, BIANCA CHANDON, and SUPREME says a lot about its retail and cultural savvy. I'm biased, because skateboarding is among the most significant cultural touchpoints of my youth, but I think skate fashion is one of the purest distillations of style. It's functional and unpretentious. Nothing less stylish than looking like you're trying... Congrats to CASEY LEWIS and LIZA DARWIN on launching CLOVER, their e-mail newsletter for teen girls. Looking forward to seeing their spin on the format... Speaking of e-mail newsletters, LENNY's LAIA GARCIA interviewed English designer MARY KATRANTZOU for LENNY, and it's a great read... Visited the NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART last weekend. Best thing I saw -- besides the building itself, which is stunning -- was a small exhibition of TINA BARNEY's large-format photographs. Wasn't familiar with her beforehand, but her work is really striking. Would not be surprised if JUERGEN TELLER named her as an influence. It's FRIDAY -- treat yourself to a stroll through her "Theater of Manners" series. "American Flag" looks like the best LACOSTE ad you've never seen.. Small tragedy that MCQUEEN isn't here to use the mushroom death suit in a show... Department of Want: NOAH's baby camel hair hoodie...
