Cashmere Leaf Border Cardigan // Back Yoke Cami

Our Swedish reps have been ever so kind to provide us with another installment of magazine tears from our eco-friendly-friends in lands Scandinavian. Since my knowledge of the Swedish language is limited to the Ikea catalog, I’m not quite sure just what they’re saying about the clothes but I’d like to assume that phrases like “grönt och skönt” mean something similar to “really amazing clothes made of really amazing fabrics”

Encounters at the End of the World

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I recently went and saw Werner Herzog’s new documentary Encounters at the End of the World and it’s absolutely incredible. Just like he did in Grizzly Man, Herzog focuses this movie on the lives people who relish in generally uninhabitable environments. Antarctica in this case. Naturally, the documentary carries weighty environmental undertones but rather than stating the problem at hand it explores questions of humanity and what led us to this point by introducing us to this tiny community that chooses to live is such barren solitude.
