Isn't SAFE referring back to how his ideas are safe after his notebook/workbook was stolen and he didn't produce anything but shoes for a whole season?

[Faust]

basically they call their accessories line SAFE.

Did the name come out of the season where he based his collection on car safety mechanisms and then just stay with accessories?

[lowrey]

I wouldn't be surprised

Keeping the thread goin.....



The interesting thing is that I've seen many of these pieces on Y! over the years... the translucent derbys, the crucifixion necklace... I just want that piglet bag to show up along with the udder bag!

[cjbreed]

so in chinorlz pic up above, in the top right there is an image of 2 tables. on the lower table, are those the severed legs of two entirely unsafe animals?

[Oh weh mir]

^well...
There was the elastic leather shower cap, the no-head hat, and the udder crown.

.and also some connection with escape/paranoid obsession.

Sypnosis from imdb:

The story is of Carol White (Julianne Moore) and her husband Greg (Xander Berkeley) living with their son in the San Fernando Valley. She is seemingly perfect, but she begins to get strangely sick, reacting to various things in her surroundings and attempts changing her diet and habits. Her doctor cant find anything medically amiss and she consults with a psychiatric physician. She collapses while she is driving her car back home one day and she and a doctor figure out she does a mild allergy. She begins to seek answers to her growing illness but no doctor or psychologist can find the source of her ealing: it may be on her mind, because further tests show that she is not allergic to anything. She does a strong diet, advised by her friend Nell (Mary Carver) However, she starts blaming chemical products in food, cleaning products, clothes, pollutants... She freaks out during a party in honour of another female friend, heavily pregnant.

Investigating further, she finds a retreat called Wrenwood, eventually relocating there, where the other members are treated by a smooth-talker doctor who entreats them to look inside themselves for the cure to their varying illnesses. Meanwhile, all the inmates' clothes are made of cotton, all food and drink is organic and cars are forbidden, as she is shout at the first time she arrives to the place. A marriage who has relocated there because of his health have built themselves a kind of bunker/igloo with controlled air and water. However, he'll die anyway.

Carol discovers that there is a highway nearby the compound, so she asks to be relocated within Wrenwood. Once, when Greg and the child visit her, they have very cold conversations, without any physical contact. It looks like that Carol's illness is a great inconvenience to her family, and no close friends visit her ever.

Carol leaves her family and takes up residence in the isolated igloo where she can confront herself and her inner feelings. The film ends with Carol looking at herself in a mirror, saying "I love you" with a sad barren face

Does Poell use seamtape to actually "sew" or is he just putting the tape over seams to prevent fraying instead of overlocking?

The few items I have seen in stores have the latter one.
Doing otherwise is possible but so far I have only found machines doing this with material that has atleast 5% synthetics.

[Heirloom]

however the there is no tape on the tape to stop that fraying

i put tape on your tape, so you can prevent fraying while it's preventing fraying.
