Linear A.
Ancient language, lost to the modern day. Largely undecipherable.
So this got me to thinking . . . what if machines do have a subconscious of their own? What if machines right now are like human babies, which have brains but no way of expressing themselves except screaming (crashing)? What would a machine's subconscious look like? How does it feed off what we give it? If machines could talk to us, what would they say?

“Guys, don’t you Love these All-American Designer Clothes? Nothing says badass like spending the cost of a few weeks’ worth of blow on thrift store looks and mother fucking combat boots.”
Michael Bastian Designs All-American Clothes Guys Love - NYTimes.com
i find it hilarious that the designer opens the interview railing against hipster fashion, but when you see his looks it’s the same bunch of dbags.
the guy on the right deserves special recognition for being an utter disaster. rolled-up cardigan + vest + flapping french cuffs + satin stripe pants = punch in the face.
…oh hey, is that raccoon tail cruelty-free?

Layers, produced in 100% wool felt, uses sophisticated embroidery equipment played against artisanal hand-cutting to create patterning, resulting in an “industrial craft” hybrid. This already complex textile was further engineered to meet the specific needs of the AF1. The result represents a multi-disciplinary undertaking, bridging disparate aspects of industrial design including sports technology, textile design and the conceptual avant-garde.

1909 Victorinox - Runway - Fall 09 MBFW
i’m taking this as license to wear hoodies under sport coats.
aside: are runway photographers all lazy or what? i searched about 20 different sites trying to find shots of this look. most didn’t even have good focus, and no one bothered getting a closeup so you could see the texture and weight of the materials.
memo to photogs: monochromatic is in, and it doesn’t always photograph well.
