    Siki Im

    Weird that we did not have a general thread on Siki Im. Hopefully my interview with Siki is a good place to start.

    DESIGNER SIKI IM ON NINETIES, TECH NOSTALGIA, AND THE PARADOX OF YOUTH

      I've noticed he's been getting more attention lately, between reviews/press, Woolmark prize, and an Iasora collaboration, which is great. It's also weird, because I think of him as very "SZ," and I don't usually think of SZ designers as getting much attention from mainstream fashion press except Rick. But it's definitely cool to see.

      This quote was really great:

      "Many people who were really into subcultures during my teenage years have become bourgeois, and that's kind of sad. Was it all just teenage angst or did they really believe in what they were doing?"

      It's something I've thought a lot myself. I "grew up" once and it didn't work out, I had to admit to my teenage self "fine, you were right." Also liked that bit on honesty, there's so much that can be perceived as wrong, like being cliche or overcomplicated or too dramatic, but if it's honest, then it's just all you can be.

        I am really happy Siki has been short-listed for the Woolmark prize this year. I hope he wins!
