Reading what Max was saying about the DVN show reminded me I had this old Nick Knight book gathering dust on the shelf. It’s a classic bit of inspiration and a regular reference point for men’s designers but beautiful all the same. Dries does it justice.

Bodies are experienced as menace. From this perspective, they cannot but fail. Bodies seem to be bound to be wrong. No space for a shared problematic such as seeing our stance towards the body as problematic… Instead, they feel that the problem lies in the ineptitude of our individual endeavours.

Have we failed to create the body as it should be or how we want it to be?

It seems that we only have a temporary peace, with the next opportunity to take “it” in hand and attempt to keep refashioning it emotionally, physically, medically… around the corner.
There is no such thing as a body that can simply be.

Found on Sophie Arancio’s NAST blog. Tattoo by Yann Black.

Catch up with Gary, get to the restaurant of the standard hotel, exchange a few text messages with Estevan Oriol, wait for him to arrive to order our lunch. Estevan arrives, gives me a copy of his stunning “LA women” book, we exchange friendly introductory words on business, life, Hip Hop, Art and fashion while having our hamburgers. Then Estevan offers to take us on a trip to his shop “Last Laugh”. We accept, get to a pick up of a size probably violates any european limitation, drive through downtown as we discover Estevan’s taste for british urban music. Last Laugh is an impressively tastefully set up local where Mr Cartoon sells a selection of classic LA urban items such as pendelton shirts and customized baby buggies. A second room is dedicated to Estevan’s “Joker” brand and a backroom hosts a tattoo studio. We are introduced to Estevan’s exquisitely serviceable assistant Flaco and Estevan offers to take us to the infamous S.A. studio. Like degenerated Alices, Gary and myself fall through a delirious rabbit hole as Estevan drives through LA’s very own Skid Row, zigzagging among crackheads while Jamma’s sub-basses tickle our sinuses. As we park in front of the SA studios, I start to realize what SA studios are. Estevan and Mr cartoon’s office, but I am still very far from imagining what is coming next. As we enter, and roam the ground floor, Estevan introduces us to his own and Mr Cartoon’s collection of low riders. If anyone had asked me before that day if I had already seen a real Low Rider, I would have certainly negligently given the answer “yes”, but the truth would have been “no”. What the two european kids discovered there would probably a Dan Graham’s delirium tremens, but it most certainly was for the a dozen years of hip hop- and americano-mania’s (read: “obsession”) once-in-a-lifetime pinnacle. Then i notice that I didn’t take my newly acquired Mark II and that my old G10 is about to run out of battery. Shit

I must stop writing now, it is 100degrees Fahrenheit in NY, my computer is burning. The journey goes on, more soon.

The photographic work of a dermatologist in Lyons in the Thirties presented by Gerard Levy and Serge Bramly. Published by Kehayoff in 1999.

Larger scans of the last few pages which detail the Autochrome process that was used to make these photographs as well as thumbnails & notes for each picture are here.

Well worth a look at.

She raised one eyebrow. Her nose curls up like there is a nasty smell. She opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue.
