My favorite pickup from my recent NY trip has to be these Unis cargos. Available in 2 other colors, designer Eunice Lee really nailed it with these fatigues; color, fit and large side-pockets are the main criteria I look for in a pair of cargos.
I had the pleasure of heading down to NY again this year for mens week at capsule and project. The main goal of my trip however, was to meet with Doug from RC/W+H. Ironic that us canucks are having a meeting in the states. The details of the meeting and future projects between CYC and I will stay sealed for now, but here are some snaps of the fall2012 line from my Canadian friends at the Ace Hotel.

Apologies for the lack of updates for the passed month, but I promise there alot of great things to come…notably some of the actual work I did in Japan…
It’s always a pleasure to go to New York; I’ll be there til monday for a very exciting project – more on that later… Those who have my contact info, let’s grub.
Here are more visuals of my trip. I was stationed at 21mercer on my first night, working on live photo editting during the cocktail party for Fashion’s Night Out. The hotel I stayed at (Tribeca Grand Hotel) was absolutely overwhelming, from the commendable & meticulous service to the generously offered malin+goetz shower kit, everything had me looking forward to a good night’s rest.
Muji is always a must.
This year’s lookbook forced me in there.
Nom De Guerre
I was presented to Tommy Rebel a few years back. I got to stay in The Brooklyn Basement for the first time (hopefully not the last) because he is a close friend of my home girl Maura.
First and foremost, he hates blogs. It didn’t roll off the tongue as swiftly as I’d hope, when it came time to ask for some pictures of what most of us would consider a gold mine or a museum of sort. *sigh of relief when he said yes*. Upon entrance, one is quickly acquainted by a hand-painted “Brooklyn Basements” type across the window of the main entry point. A star spangled banner gives us a hint of what we are to expect: a collection (understatement) of the most iconic American street fashion rarities, from Nike’s to Danner boots, and RRL to Carhartt.
Tommy Rebel isn’t the typical collector, he knows more than you would expect, in fact, a 30 minute conversation that’s mostly one-sided is worthy of a 30 day lesson. He paints the big picture in 3 words (undisclosed information), but it’s one of those “you had to be there” instances. All I can say is that a stay in the Brooklyn Basement is much more than anyone can vouch for when visiting America’s melting pot.
Thank you, Tommy for the amazing experience.
Young Healers is a publishing venture that focuses on emerging photographers through print zines. The objective is to publish monthly issues that coincide with a gallery launch for the corresponding edition. Each issue will feature the work of an up-and-coming photographer, some shooting specifically for the project, others selecting photos from their existing portfolio.
Dana will be showing her photos @ Off The Hook Gallery from 7pm-11pm. If you’re in town, come say hello!
“Dana Lauren Goldstein was born in Louisville, Kentucky but spent most of her life traveling and living in different cities. In the summer of 2007 she received her BFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design and returned to New York City where she spent a year interning and assisting fashion photographer Kenneth Cappello.
Dana’s work has been exhibited internationally and shown at the Pulse Art Fair through the Saatchi Gallery, Tim Barber/Tiny Vices, ITIWA, NOfound, Dazed Digital, aNYthing, and Puma. Her work has appeared in the pages of i-D, Dazed and Confused, Vice, Hamburger Eyes, Bad Day, WAD, Intersection, QVest, and Sup amongst others.
Dana currently resides in lower Manhattan where she is pursuing her personal work, a book which will be released later this year, and curating emerging local, national, and international artists and talent.”
I found these photos I took at Reed Space from my NY trip. Thought I’d post them, not like most of you haven’t seen or been before, but I personally love seeing Shop Photos; the art of merchandising isn’t something to be overlooked. The people at Reed Space have a knack for making garments on a shelf look…better, for lack of a better description.
