Translates to to “Pen in the Ceiling,” Stylo for short. It’s Matt Michaud and Kieran Sutton’s new homespun fashion project which shares aesthetic sensibilities with Hollywood Gifts and Praying. I also see a little bit of Philadelphia painter Exene Karros’s influence. Their hand drawn designs include references to Blackrock, army men, Peter Griffin, Gamestop, Quiznos, Shell Gasoline, Ableton Live, and nuclear warheads. In essence, it captures the confusion and wonder of growing up in suburban America.

I’ve been following “Last Pick Athletics Club” on IG for a few years, LPAC is an athletics club for Londoners, started by the very fashionable Tayler & Koen Prince-Fraser. Now they’re starting a clothing line branching off their last pick brand, and so far I’m big intrigued by the glimpses we’ve gotten of the first collection. From the first look it seems to be “Gorpy outdoorsman wear” in the vein of something like Reese Cooper.

I heard of William Ellery through a Van Neistat youtube video (which honestly sub-rec, I’ve been pretty into his youtube recently, as someone trying to get better at being “handy”). According to William Ellery’s brand info page, a main goal is to advance the ideal that “it is vital to preserve the instinct to explore”. This comes through in a manner of really creative and interesting ways. There are “keepsake hats” with nylon mesh strapped over the logo (using a fisherman’s knot) providing a little strap-in area for keepsakes, “seatpack chairs “ fashioned out of what seems to be an inflatable dinghy, and of course the legendary wool socks, to be worn year-round. The design feels like an evolution beyond Tom Sachs, where the founder worked as a lead designer, with an oft hand-drawn logo and utilitarian materials everywhere. Each item feels very imaginitive and super cohesive, like they’re all a prop in some sequel to moonrise kingdom.

My mom taught me this in order to slow down the nervous system. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4. If you're an anxious person you probably already know this. Also a good way to fall asleep really fast.

Aperol Spritz but throw away the champagne and replace it with the champagne of beers. Best enjoyed at a sidewalk cafe or in the park. Drink 2-3 for best results.

A rare experience in the city. House parties have a charm and intimacy that just can’t be matched by a bar. Everyone’s forced to physically brush up against each other and talk to people they might not otherwise. A good house party is sexy in this way. Anyone who attended my last halloween party knows this well.
