Imagine what's in this Garage




So the project I'm most excited about at the moment is The Garage Sale Trail which I'm working on with my good mates Daz, Benny & AV.

As well as being an awesome sustainability initiative, there's something slightly voyeuristic about rummaging through other people's stuff. I like looking interesting things and imagining who bought them, where they were made, how they were loved and where they'll fit into my life.

With my eye on the Garage Sale Trail, I've found myself stopping in the street taking photos of hoards of junk lying on nature strips, eyeing-off garages - like the one above, and seriously considering whether one day Malls will become redundant ( hope so!).

So  I'm hoping that this project will shift culture toward an anti-new style movement.

Hmmnnnnn....

Dear Pluto...An ode to slow fashion.

So Dear Pluto,

I would like to thank you for your rummaging, picking, and preening through cast-offs to give me some lovely old things to look at and choose.

Because it makes me sad that so much new 'stuff' is created every day, especially when there are so many old things that are just as fine and already proven to withstand the test of time.

I'm bored of the hurried, stock-standard, one-size-fits-all, kiddie-hurting fashion and fickle trends - I'm over the 'same'.

So, Dear Pluto. I'm really looking to coming and checking you out at your new home on Wilshire St, and hope to see all my friends there too.
