“Bababa International are a bunch of hard working men and women labouring for societies needs and inter-ests. They will pull down walls and hold structures up... You will be amazed at the highly trained, multi-task professionals of Bababa International. At the moment they are a small speck on the cultural chart and the bussiness chart, but they will rise up to the top.

Bababa International are also heart warming and friendly they will reach a hand out to you if you are sad or lonely but let’s get to the point - Bababa International are you, they are our planet, they are our solar system, they are our galaxy, they are our universe, they are it.”

LOOKBOOK

I will tell you now that if nothing else saves you today LOOK-BOOK.nu will. The San Fran-ciscan bedroom based website, devised to necessitate the want of a user-generated fashion website, has triggered no lack

of attention towards individual fashions posted by users across the world. Captivated by such a simplistic yet shrewd idea Elodi sat down with creator Yuri Lee to ascertain the finer details ofL O O K B O O K . n u

WORDS STEPHANIE DAY

Page 29: elodi magazine

LOOKBOOKE: What is LOOKBOOK.nu essentially about?

Y: In one sentence, LOOKBOOK.nu is a source for fashion inspiration from real people around the world. Every day, creative types like photographers, stylists, designers, mu-sicians and all kinds of hip people over 30 countries post photos of their daily outfits.

“a source for fashion inspiration from real people around the world”

Page 30: elodi magazine

E: How did the website get started?

Y: I’ve always loved art and fash-ion and my boyfriend is a bril-liant programmer who previously worked at one of the bigger so-cial networks. One day he and I tossed around ideas for our own website and we basically thought that user-generated street fash-ion was such a great idea that had not really been done well.

E: Has the concept been in-spired by anything in particular?

Y: Street style photographers like the Sart and thecobrasnake defi-nitely deserve credit for showing the world (including myself) that practical style inspiration is far easier to find on the streets and at parties than it is on the runways. We also found inspiration from the many variations of “What are you wearing today?” threads that have caught on in virtually ev-ery major fashion-related forum.

“practical style inspiration is far easier to find on the streets and at parties”

Page 31: elodi magazine

E: What purpose does LOOKBOOK.nu serve?

Y: Our mission is to cultivate a ‘collective fashion consciousness’ that is completely driven by diverse, aesthetically talented and open-minded individuals. The most rewarding part of working on the site is knowing that it connects people with oth-ers near and far. Two of our Australian us-ers actually discovered that they live in the same apartment building after seeing each others’ photos on LOOKBOOK.nu.

“driven by diverse,

aesthetically talented and

open-minded individuals”

Page 32: elodi magazine

E: What are the future prospects for LOOKBOOK.nu?

Y: I feel like we have built a pretty compelling way to bring to-gether lots of cool guys and girls. But up until now, their inter-actions have been limited to out-fit oriented conversations. As it turns out, our users have much more in common to talk about, so we’re planning to give them a way to participate in open-ended discussions and share outside media not only related to fashion, but also photography, travel, art, music, cinema, architecture and any other form of creative culture.

Page 33: elodi magazine

We generally try to take a sort of zen ap-proach toward adding new features, but we’re always listening and talking with our users. They give us great sugges-tions and guide our direction a lot. We are not really sure what will happen in the future with LOOKBOOK, but we’re definitely excited to see how it evolves.

JANICE JONGLondon

Inspired by built up cities, and the architecture that characterises them is Janice Jong. Described as reality with a touch of fantasy, her art work entails intimations of stories that lend themselves to further adventure in the apprecia-tors mind. Janice borrows particular motivation from Hong Kong’s city where there the city is overflowing with flats, shops, and buildings. In so far as the caprice of her artwork: films, TV and graphic novels have assisted the rouse.

Four years ago artist Kelly Lynn Jones founded the website Little Paper Planes (LPP) to showcase the works of her friends but also to help subsidize her own and her friends’ burgeoning art careers. To-day, LPP has grown into a site with many new artists from all over the

Page 37: elodi magazine

world supported by a large and varied customer base; a commu-nity of people supporting great artists. The natural progression for the site is to start producing prints that are exclusive to the store. Being an artist Kelly is drawn to the tactile and the pro-

cesses of which have lead her to letterpress prints. There are 10 prints to start off Little Paper Press, which during the month of September was also hung at the Tinlark Gallery in Los An-geles along with original work from the 10 LPP artists. Begin-

ning soon, and from there on in, each month, there will be an artist featured along with an exclusive letterpress print. Hopefully this will be just the beginning for Little Paper Press for their sights are set to produce more prints and eventually move into artist books.

GAVIN BUNNERLos Angeles

Gavin Bunner’s unsurpassed’s are created when he is in a state of constancy and when he has a load of things de-manding completion all at once. “Pop Art meets Americana at a Party at Genre Paintings’ house, and the resulting love child is humorous, witty and vibrantly coloured” is what one may say would best describe the result of busy conception. Gavin is a painter, inspired by pleasured onlookers of his works and google image search. It is a complex justification, but just be sure that if it was not for such a tool, Gavin would be obligated to something less than art, or so he says.

SIDNEY PINKMaryland

Self confessed ‘delighter in cleaning’ is Sidney Pink. However, he is probably better known for his pencil and wa-tercolour creations of Japanese school girls, salary men, spacemen, and strange animals. Having lived in Japan for the last four years, Sidney has drawn a load of inspiration for his work from the popular culture, but also from the mundane aspects of everyday life over there. About his work, Sidney says that ‘like prints, I want the drawings to have a flatness that is a part of the visual vocabulary of my work’. Sidney finds the peak of his creativity in a sched-uled time and place, and honest in confessing to the junk that is often created; his best work is produced in between.

ASHLEY GOLDBERGOregon

Late at night or on a stormy afternoon you can find Ashley holed up, creating precious little guys. Her art-work, although appearing simple, entails great emotion, captured with expression, gesture and a sophis-ticated colour palette. Ashley draws her inspiration from some of the more simple pleasures in life, na-ture, the great outdoors and the stimulating smell of brewing coffee. Between these muses and hanging out in bed with her cat, Ashley has developed some most agreeable creations that you must check out.

Ana and Diana Derek have filled their shop with grass and elves for tea parties, a piano for those lusting out of tunes, and a wardrobe full of creative dress and precious jewels. And so it is, reminiscent of an Alice and Wonderland adventure, Itrip Iskip.

Where is the shop? 30 Lonsdale Street, Braddon, ACT

Why a fashion shop? We wanted something different. We have expe-rience working in other retail stores but we knew that we could offer something different. Owning the store allows us to put in 100%. We make the rules.

What compelled you to open a store in Canberra? We wanted

to move Canberra away from the mainstream, away from the shop-ping malls. We love shopping on the street in Melbourne and Sydney and we wanted to bring this to Can-berra.

What is the story behind the name? We wanted a name that showed we had a sense of fun. The idea of tripping over and then skip-ping away makes us smile.

Is supporting local talent an im-portant part of your stores philos-ophy? Definitely we already have local brands in store and really want to see this grow. Canberra is home to such a creative bunch of people

What events happen at the shop? Grass Stains in May was an after-

noon of fashion, art and music. We had two bands playing, a wall being painted and a lot of fun. There is another one coming soon. We also have DJ’s in every Saturday.

What are some the labels your shop stocks? Dr Denim, Ebony & Eve, Lady, American Apparel, Flux

Best thing about owning a store: Being your own boss and doing something that we both enjoy.

Worst thing about owning a store: Not many holidays and working 7 days a week.

Can we contact you?Yes yes yes!Phone: (02) 6257 9950

WORDS STEPHANIE DAY

Page 44: elodi magazine

Denim is the Mick Jagger of fab-rics: it’s been around forever and while it may fall out of fashion from time to time (cargo pants anyone?), its cultural relevance is generally accepted as time-less.

According to the latest stats, wor ldwide, near ly 90 per cent of consumers own at least one pair of denim jeans, and they wear them an average of three days a week. Somewhow, a material that once stood for durability and practicality was transformed into a lifestyle necessity.

Where once the biggest choice in purchasing a pair of jeans was between a boot-leg cut and flares, in 2009, the choice is seemingly endless: traditional indigo or skintight neon? High waisted or hipster? Drop crotch or straight leg? Buying the right pair of jeans is akin to purchas-ing a new car : emotional.

In order to compete in the $46 billion global denim market, de-signers are constantly evolving their product through innovation to capture the attention of an in-different consumer. Niche design-ers have flourished and, as a re-sult, Australian labels like Ksubi, Sass & Bide and, more recently, Max Olijnyk’s bespoke streetwear label, Note to Self, have garnered international headlines.

A new contender making its mark on the domestic denim and streetwear market is Melbourne-based label, I Heard They Eat Cigarettes.

Through its minimalist detailing, progressive use of fabrics and casual effor tlessness, I Heard They Eat Cigarettes reflects this season’s penchant for all things groupie chic and punk revival. They’re the type of threads you’d expect to see on pretty gir ls with mascara tears and vacant boys in rock n’ roll bands.

The label, the brainchild of founder Chris Brooks, was in-spired by his hometown, the city of Melbourne, and the name comes from a mentalist friend who after a few drinks pulls out

his cigarette eating par ty trick. Far from a hobby, I Heard They Eat Cigarettes is Chris’ full-time gig. “I live and breathe it”, Chris enthuses.

While initially a denim-driven la-bel, the development of I Heard They Eat Cigarettes into a fully functional clothing range was a natural, almost intuitive, process. “The label star ted with jeans;” says Chris. “I just wanted another creative avenue in which to add to the range, that’s where the shoes, rings, leather jackets and tees came along”.

One of the most endearing as-pects of the range is its lack of pretension. The designs, while original, aren’t over ly manufac-tured which delivers them a hint of raw authenticity. The jeans are

Page 47: elodi magazine

skinny, the sandals are geometric and the tees are lo-fi. Somehow, it all just feels “right”. Adding to the rock n’ roll mood is the I Heard They Eat Cigarettes swing tag. Traditional cardboard has been replaced by a branded cassette tape.

This indie aesthetic is captured rath-er brilliantly in the Vice-like photos on the I Heard They Eat Cigarettes website. According to Chris, the pho-to shoot involved, “lots of red wine and a lot of headaches in the morn-ing”. Having invited some mates over for a drink and a giggle, Chris got his Terry Richardson on and began taking happy snaps. “For me,” says Chris, “that photo shoot is like look-ing through a personal photo album; it was shot over two big nights”.

Speaking to Chris, you get a feeling that this DIY sensibility is intrinsically

linked to the brand and its future di-rection. “I don’t ever want to commer-cialise I Heard They Eat Cigarettes. People have been really receptive to the label, I think that’s because it is different and that they can relate to it in some way. Wor ld domination can wait for the moment”.

This considered approach to distri-bution has seen I Heard They Eat Cig-arettes slowly expand from its local base in Victoria to New South Wales and South Australia. The coming Kids of Today Summer 08/09 range will also be stocked in Queensland and New Zealand. In this manner, Chris has translated his Melbourne design flavour into a look with broad ap-peal.

Wor ld domination aside, we can ex-pect to hear more from the cigarette eating crew.

Who are you?Marc Hendrick, creator of t-shirt label Das Monk.

Three words that best describe your style:Mystical, dark, and creepy... with a little bit of humor thrown in for good measure.

The story behind the name Das Monk?

They’re just two words I liked that didn’t really make sense together but looked good on paper. It has nothing to do with a German monk unfortu-nately.

What inspired you to create your own label?There were a couple of labels that really in-spired me to start Das

Monk - Alakazam from Japan and PAM from Melbourne. This was the time when most t-shirts were unimagina-tive statement tees, and it was so refreshing to see something different. Their prints were bril-liantly weird artworks that kind of made sense within the context of a t-shirt, and it really

inspired me to create something with a similar aesthetic or mindset.

Things you have done prior to Das Monk?Before Das Monk I was working as an architect... designing white boxes for people to live in.

What is one thing we should know about

you?I’m taller than I look.

Favorite CD?It’s a toss up between Pixies’ Doolittle and Pavement’s Wowee Zowee. My musical taste is firmly wedged in the early ‘90s.

Favorite TV show?Wow this is like Sophie’s Choice... I love Sein-

feld and The Wire both equally.

Best things about Das Monk?The freedom to do what I want with the label. I could design a range that featured nothing but my head on all the t-shirts and nobody could stop me.

Worst thing about your

job?Constantly being sur-rounded by boxes of t-shirts. I stub my toes on them roughly 5 times a day.

Anything else you are currently working on?I do a bit of freelance work with band merch, but other than that I’m always working on new Das Monk stuff... we

release new collections every few months so I don’t really get much of a chance to do much else.

Future plans?Expanding the label be-yond just t-shirts. We’ve got some sweatshirts and singlets coming up soon, and the plan is to just keep going from there...

ADAM FARCUSChicago

The Journals is a project where I create a draw-ing on a 4” x 4” piece of paper every day. I’ve been doing this project since August 31, 2004. The Journals is a way for me to get out and document as many ideas as I can. It works as a sketchbook and a diary, because each draw-ing is a documentation of that particular day. And so The Journals is an ongoing project. My work can seem divergent and random in con-tent and form but it is all tied together in concept. I am deconstructing and redefining the content I’m referencing (such as Ice Cave, Brett Favre, Mountain Dew, etc) by focusing on my personal interest in that subject and emphasizing it. All of the things I make work about are already a big part of my life. It’s a great way of working; I make things about stuff I like. My goal is to design and illustrate my joy and interests to my viewer, hope-fully causing a similar joy. I create my work in the most direct, humble and sincere way, which ex-plains my materials and techniques. It is truthful. I live in Chicago, Illinois, USA. I am a master of fine arts student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I’m inspired by the TV, graphic design (especially when it doesn’t function correctly), Conan O’brien, death metal, commercial stores (such as Wal*Mart, 7eleven and Walgreens), dance music (and danc-ing), 4chan, my friends and a lot of other things. I decided to go into the arts (while in high school) after seeing work by 2 artists at the Art Institute of Chicago: Joseph Cornell and Anselm Kiefer.

As far as pastimes, I bike a lot, try to travel as much as I can, try (awkwardly) to meet nice girls and reading. I am teaching sculpture and painting at UIC and I plan on teaching after I graduate (as long as I don’t have to get a damn fine art PhD). I also still want to show a lot, and if I start selling my work that would be nice too.

Earl Grey

This black tea has it origins in china, and is named after Charles, the 2nd Earl Grey, who was given an appar-ently splendid blend of tea by a Chi-nese Mandarin.

The tea, although dark in color, is rather light in flavor with an intricate taste of bergamot. It is best enjoyed as a morning tea, brewed for three to five minutes. I recommend that it be served black, however can also be taken with a little milk and sugar for those who cannot handle the full flavors.

Green Tea

This tea is made from unfermented tealeaves. When served correctly it should be pale in color and slightly bitter. Green tea is so good for your insides; it is the tea with the most anti-oxidants. Enough said.To brew this tea properly, the water poured over it should be just before boiling point. It should be brewed for three to five minutes, like the Earl Grey, any longer than five minutes will make the flavor intenselybitter. If you wish to sweeten this liq-uid gold, add some honey, it tastes well.

Fruit Tisanes

Very rarely have I ever stumbled upon a fruit tisane that has had as much flavor as the smell of it suggested. Tisane’s are for the pretenders. It is warm water, with slight coloration and a taste of possibly some fruit that has been six times removed from its origi-nal form, at least.

Nonetheless, if you must feel com-pelled to try these heated flavored waters may I suggest to you that you brew it in a pot for 5 minutes. The best Tisane’s out there are sold at T2. If subtly is your style, then perhaps you will enjoy this in the afternoon.

Herbal Teas

Herbal teas are phenomenal for your body and your mind. The flavors are subtle. But do pack a bit more punch than the fruit tisane. Herbal teas are full of healing agents, antioxidants, detoxifiers and calmatives. For these reasons, herbal tea is best consumed before sleep, with a good book.

The herbal teas can be brewed for up to five minutes, and go well with lemon slices, cinnamon sticks or honey. They also taste quite refreshing when served on their own

Jasmine Tea

This is a white tea perfumed with dried jasmine blossoms. It is very, very pale in color, and has a gentle sweetness about it.

This tea does not become bitter if left in the water, however for flavors sake, again, it is best brewed for three to five minutes. I do not think that there are any condiments that will enhance the flavor of such a tea, and adding milk to this is not dissimilar to watering down a fine wine. Ok. You get the point.

My favorite thing about white tea is that you can reuse the leaves. And al-though it is slightly more expensive, you do get more out of the stuff.

Here now is a guide to tea, making tea

and drinking tea.

HEARTBREAKERCakes? She just loves them. Kitiya Palaskas, that is. Des-serts and cake are her favor-ite foods, and being holed up in the creative world what better way to make cake than to sew it? Kit concedes that there is a thing about min-iature fake food that people

go crazy for. An exhibi-tion that toured Sydney and Canberra mid 2008 saw the unveiling of these exqui-site, non-perishable treats.Kit’s precious creations were a natural progression from the work she was doing in her fi-nal year at the Australian Na-

tional University Art School. After taking a vacation to Canberra to suss out univer-sities with her dad in year 10, Kit saw a decision that need-ed to be made between fash-ion or art school. There was an affinity of working with fabrics that hindered this.

Page 75: elodi magazine

Art School won out in the end. Here she studied print me-dia, and if she could have got away with it, would have made miniature foods, and things of the like, then. Now it seems that both worlds, fashion and art, have collided. Kit’s fashion

label, Heartbreaker, took on a serious demeanor last year, after testing the mar-ket the year before. She now sells her clothes and accessories at markets around Sydney, and on Etsy. As well as this, Kit designs the costumes for her band

S.Y.L.K. for which she sings.‘It started off as a hilari-ous fun thing to do on the weekend’ Kit asserts. How-ever the band, with DJ beats and glam-rap, has really taken off. People are start-ing to respond really posi-tively; they have a booking

HEARTBREAKER

agent, someone who fash-ion designs (notwithstand-ing Kit) for them and a firm fan base in Sydney. ‘It’s re-ally bizarre’ she enthuses.Kit has really exploited the realms of being a creative professional, and whist there is still a lot to come from this

beauty, she has some good advice for people wanting to break into the creative world. ‘The best thing to do is to go to heaps of openings. This way you get to know people who work in similar scenes and from here op-tions will always come up,

like doing group shows with others. Also, if you have tan-gible objects, selling at the markets is really good too.’Kit will be concentrating on the Sydney art scene this year. So keep an eye out for exhi-bitions, shows and her glori-ous creations at the markets.

“‘It started off as a hilarious fun thing to do on the weekend’”

“Now it seems that both worlds, fashion and art, have collided.”

Hannah and Landon Metz are an incredibly stun-ning, young, married couple. Milky skin, rosy cheeks, doll eyes, and a plump pout, combined with honey-tanned skin, long, dark locks, and dreamy eyes. I really just can’t construct prop-er sentences for these two. Coupled with their amazing looks, is talent, too good to be true. For so long I felt like there was no brilliance left in the world until I stumbled along Hannah’s ex-tremely funny, honest, modest, and witty blog… Take a look at these two and if they leave you lost for words, like they do me, then help them take over the world. God knows we need it/them.
