    ~ A wise man once said… “It is both delusional and stupid to think that clothes don’t really matter and we should all wear whatever we want. Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us and we make decisions based on people’s appearances. On the other hand, there are people, particularly in the fashion industry, who take clothing too seriously. We aren’t doing biomedical research or working on some nuclear collider. Clothing is not everything in life and it won’t solve problems of famine and overpopulation. It’s a fine balance you have to strike and that’s what I try to do.” - Bruce Boyer on WSJ (via mostexerent)

    studiohomme:

    Astier de Villatte is French for art of living. Its founders, Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli both completed their studies at Les Beaux Arts in Paris. Inspired by antiques found at flea markets or on the streets, they slowly grew into creating a variety of unique objects, hand-crafted with savoir-faire. The quaint charm of Astier de Villatte objects is indeed obtained at the very center of Paris in their own workshop while the stationary is produced in a traditional printing factory.

    The way it should be.

    If you go to a cafe in Italy and it’s the main man in the cafe, people treat him with respect. That’s what he does, that’s his job. He runs the cafe, he’s the main waiter at the cafe. He’s good with people, he manages the cafe well but here it’s like ‘oh, you work in a caff. Oh, you make clothes’. In other countries making isn’t deemed to be a crap job. Here we’ve lost that, we don’t respect that enough. That’s why they struggle to find people to work in factories, because it’s not a glamourous thing to do, not even a glamourous thing to do, it’s not seen as a decent thing to do, it’s a bit embarrassing to do. And that’s a real shame. I think that’s a big problem.
