i thought the interview she did with interview magazine a few years ago was really good, but it was also the first interview with her i'd ever read. now reading this new interview it sounds like she's giving the exact same responses, even though the questions are different. it seems there's only so much she's willing to say.

Well, at least she is a woman of her word:
–Rei Kawakubo
Her raison d'être, spelled out for us in black & white. Literally.
You can't help but respect that.
Ai Weiwei + Rei Kawakubo.. Or, as it begs: Rei-n-Ai.
side note: The documentary AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY, on the artist's recent imprisonment
by the Chinese govt., debuted at SunDance last weekend. (click title for preview).

Originally posted by riluthe problem with most interviews i see nowadays is that they are obviously not a conversation but questions sent per email and answers given to those questions. and that's not an interview, but a questioner. an interview requires a dialogue where new questions sometimes pop up on the fly, in view of the previously given answers. sure you can have a prepared set of questions, the general topic for the interview, but you need to be flexible to play with it and use it really just as a sketch. i've never studied media, and Faust will for sure be able to illuminate us more on this topic, but that's how I imagine an interview to be like, and that's what I see missing in most "interviews" i see online nowadays.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Some vintage footage here, although Japanese and French speaker swill find the video more rewarding.

Yep, coming to the shop near you next fall. They hold copyrights to some Star Wars imagery, so they decided what the fuck, let's do it.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

So,
Someone sent this to me: http://junyawatanabe.tumblr.com/.
I apologize if I'm being presumptuous and/or naïve but would Junya Watanabe really have a tumblr? If so, then you might understand, given how much he is a personal hero, why I would be psyched.
In any case, perhaps the "kids" could explain.

It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger."
