FASHION FOR

Friday, January 10, 2014

Whether for style or activism, look to Philadelphia Printworks.  Screen-printing since 2010 and operated locally by owner Maryam April, the name pretty much says it all.   Expect on a seasonal basis styles advocating different sociopolitical issues and citing cultural figures…without falling into the political correction facility (or the fashion police).  Inspirations for the most recent [...]

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

As 2013 and last year’s last minute’s resolutions fade in our post-debauch memory, you find the fireworks to have left mightier mental tinnitus.  Hats off to clubs and bars, but this ancient and rather bizarre spectacle deserve some mention–after all, New Year’s wouldn’t be the same without spark, crackle, and afterglow of smoke buttressing the [...]
