It’s alive!

Watch this video and you’ll be taken on a tour of the off-limits areas of Paul Smith’s London design HQ.

This interview with Nigel Cabourn is rich with tidbits of information about buttons, fabrics and fasteners. And it was right up my alley.

I think this video is pretty; not only is “Pip” cute in the t-shirt while rocking the guitar, the video just has great lighting. It was directed by the Benji Davies and Jim Field partnership Frater.  And the water-colored animation by Sarah Larnach is awesome. via Motionographer I really like the interior design of the motel room too. Ace!

I’ve become obsessed with watching shoemaking videos. And here’s another one from the brand Aigle, pronounced ‘Eh-gleu’.

I went to Anthropologie yesterday to pick up some Christmas presents, and it was a treat. The store is curated so well. In every crevice and corner there’s something interesting for any sex to gaze upon. And it provokes a similar curiosity that you may have also experienced when stepping into a Paul Smith store.

After returning from the trip, I mentioned my observations to K and she agreed. She also told me that since I liked the objects (I’m not in to ladies clothing.) in the store so much, I’d most likely enjoy watching the hunt to find these items. And then she pointed me to Man Shops Globe, and she was right—it’s really interesting. In this series, the camera follows around Anthropologie’s buyer-at-large Keith Johnson as he shops the world for treasures that will eventually end up in the stores. I can only hope they continue adding these videos online, because right now there just aren’t enough of them. And Keith Johnson, if you’re reading this (I know you are.)—I’m willing to drop everything to start traveling and hunting fascinating things.

You can watch Man Shops Globe here and you can learn more about how he got the job here.

And if you haven’t had enough shoemaking goodness, here’s more from the Portland-based company Danner.

If you’d like to see a Norton & Sons suit in action on the streets, Waris is said to be sporting one here.

Take it from Dwight, the clueless character in The Office, buy your shirts in crates and get yourself a shirt guy.

This is how you make a Manhattan. I’d like to try a couple of those bourbon-soaked cherries. via Hamilton 1883 blog.
