Two things on slowing time: this OFF-WHITE documentary and this 2015 interview with CATHY HORYN in SYSTEM MAGAZINE. Maybe I’m not the only one who looks immediately at the numbers on either side of the “:” when I see a video online. And yeah, if there's an ad I usually just skip to minimize runtime. The OFF-WHITE doc, clocking in at 13:43, gives the viewer a sense of time slowed down. It's a fresh take on immediacy, using slow-motion, background conversation, and sun-drenched Milanese streets to create some serious *vibes*. Watch to see a stitch passing through a woven textile, fingers slipping pins into tailored jackets, flat pattern pieces being traced and cut, clipped strands of hair falling to the wayside. The other factor here is community. Virgil Abloh is shown just walking or talking with collaborators, and it's refreshing to see a sense of community at work behind-the-scenes. Because it's community, work, and slow time that truly run fashion. Why does this feel so rarefied? ICYMI, the interview with Cathy Horyn is a must-read for how fashion, NYC, and journalism have changed in the 30+ years she's covered fashion… Crowd fav FEAR OF GOD released its fall 2017 collection and will be stocking "extra small" and women's shoe sizes for the first time… Fashion week formats are changing. Conversations are ringing out before this season's fashion month has begun. Is NYC over? Is LA over before it even started? This could be looked at as a newfound freedom or chaos depending on where you stand. Someone tell me what RUTH FINLEY thinks of all this… KANYE did reschedule… VETEMENTS' next event will be in LA, and it will be called DRY CLEANING. Scan their INSTA for more... TIM COOK seems to be really enjoying himself in PARIS. He's photographed hanging with couturier JULIEN FOURNIÉ, who used an IPAD PRO in the making of his collection. Wonder if photographers are present when WACOM CEO MASAHIKO YAMADA drops by designers' studios, or if he even does (hope he does!)… Intrigued by AB[SCREENWEAR].
