Nico - and anyone else that replies to things like this.

Let’s just turn off anonymous questions. I come from the school of thought if you don’t want to stand behind your opinions, questions or comments, you don’t deserve anything in return. That includes a response or platform to be heard.

You don’t have to defend yourself. Not for dressing well or hanging out somewhere with your friends.

I say, fuck stupid questions like this and this type of thinking.

There are more things to be concerned about than what someone ELSE chooses to do with their time.

I know people were giving you props for handling this question with class. But the proper answer should be

“Because I wanted to.”

This past Saturday I returned from a week long birthday trip to Ohio.

Before I left, I made it a goal of mine to work on cleaning up all my projects when I came back to New York.

My most recent blogs were all hosted on tumblr, a place I’ve come to realize is great to finding short form content but one that’s not suited for real interaction or creation.

KEEPS is the hub I want to connect my work, my life and all my digital interactions. To distance myself from the noise.

I still enjoy tumblr, but it seems it’s best suited as a stream for KEEPS.

For those that are interested, please follow me at KEEPS, where I will be writing and photographing my work and life a bit more in depth.

The Internet is swamped with news this morning of Margiela for H&M.

For many, this is exciting news.

For me, it is another sign that a new wave of labels should and will emerge.

I cannot say what is the benefit of working with juggernauts in fast fashion is for a label like Margiela.

But I find the fact that Margiela, known for cutting and hacking recycled vintage clothes and selling it at a premium, is now pitching high end aesthetics at cheaper prices a bit ironic.

I thought how perfect the pairing probably is and how perfect it is for the fashion world. Young designers will see this and react.

“This is not what I want to be.”

You can learn to hit a baseball by doing research on the best bats, exercises to strengthen your swing, learn the physics of balls and projections, check the weather for the optimal wind conditions.

Or you can just pick up a bat and swing that motherfucker.
