An Explorer's Tale

Posted on May 13, 2013

 As a designer who works in New York, I have always fantasized about the life of an explorer, travelling to places where there's no wifi, no advertisement of any sort, no starbucks, and no pollution by humans.  What life would be like to blend harmoniously with nature?  What inspiration would I get to explore palpable and tangible living things than to sit in front of a computer using the internet 'explorer' or

A Time For Linen

Posted on April 29, 2013

 

Working with natural fibers has always been my interest.  The obvious choices are cotton for spring and wool for fall.  However, linen is the most ancient vegetable fabric known to man.  Linen is very durable, strong fabric, one of the few that is stronger wet than dry.  It doesn't stretch and is resistant to abrasion.  It is extremely easy to take care of and has the natural slub texture which adds more

Anthony Marinos from Grind

Posted on March 29, 2013

 

I met Anthony Marinos at Grind (www.grindspaces.com) where he holds the position 'formerly known as Sales and Marketing'.  As soon as I walked into Grind, I instantly feel a great vibe of energy with big open space full of casual and yet stylish people working on their own projects.  Grind is a members-only workspace and community for anybody who dislikes the traditional office space and embrace the collaborative environment to connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs and professionals.  At Grind, there're many mantras that describe and define the culture of the community, one of Anthony's favorites has to be 'if today feels just like yesterday, something's wrong'.  This also reflects on Anthony's personal style.  'I've never understood why there has to be a 'work you' and a 'personal you.'

Visit to CEGO, Custom Shirt Maker in New York

Posted on March 25, 2013


 I spent an afternoon with Carl Goldberg from CEGO, a custom shirt maker in New York over for 25 years.  CEGO's shirts appear in many leading Broadway productions, network television shows, as well as being worn by many stylish New Yorkers.  I have tried on the different fit blocks and am very impressed with the fit (I am known to be extremely critical in terms of the fit).  The shirts are slim in the all the right places and yet not restrictive for movement (a very important aspect for my active lifestyle).  The shirts are all made in USA.
