Made in America: Rigid Denim Strikes Heart & Soul in Nashville, TN.

From David Report

Imogene + Willie ? the life blood of rigid denim in the U.S. ? has landed smack dab in the middle of my heart. I happened upon this gem of a company while researching nationally sourced clothing. I + W supports the “Made in America' movement, and signals a return to the need for American manufactured goods within the United States. Small and mid-size businesses are the bread and butter of the American economy. This movement supports a growing consciousness that buying “local' is ... Quick Read

Fornasetti Acquario wallpaper at David Report head office

From David Report

We have just put up a new wallpaper at the David Report head office. Since a long time we have been fans of the work by the Italian painter and engraver Piero Fornasetti. The new collection of wallpapers by Fornasetti from British producer Cole & Son contains a couple of masterpieces (we wrote about one of the patterns a while ago). We chose the Acquario in dark brown. It took us only a few hours (yes we did it ourselves) to change the atmosphere of the room. Now some billiards! ... Quick Read

Peluqueria Francesa AKA Boulevard Lavaud in Santiago de Chile

From David Report

During a former trip to Santiago de Chile David Report visited Boulevard Lavaud AKA Peluqueria Francesa. The mixed French hairdressing salon and restaurant is situated in the Barrio Yungay; a district situated just outside the city center with a historic charm which gives you a taste of the old Santiago. Barrio Yungay has a small-town feel with a nostalgic air and mix of old and new. We are not surprised to find a lot of creative persons and companies moving into this area. The French ... Quick Read

Authenticity

From David Report

This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. - William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) Hamlet. Act 1. Sc. 3. Inundated by fakes and sophisticated counterfeits, people increasingly see the world in terms of real or fake. Authenticity: keeping it real, honest, genuine and true, is all the rage these days. It is becoming the new sensibility in postmodern culture and human condition as a new quality. We crave for true ... Quick Read

From David Report

After New York, Paris, Berlin, and her outstanding guerrilla shows on the streets of Stockholm, Swedish multi-talented designer Jenny Grettve just launched her A/W 2013 collection at the Stockholm Fashion Week. The concept of time is the central theme of the A/W 2013 collection, says Jenny Grettve. The physics and psychology that govern time have inspired my collection in various exciting ways.
