		<description><![CDATA[Mark Fast is a young upstart knitwear designer from Canada who is fast making a name for himself in the international fashion community. He grew up in some secluded forest fairytaleland outside of Winnipeg. The solemn quietude of his childhood pressed tightly against his growing genius, and he eventually found his way to London, where he studied at Central Saint Martins. Before setting out on his own, Mark did three seasons of knitwear for Bora Aksu. Fast knits all of his pieces himself on a domestic knitting machine. His innovative techniques, such as blending lycra with natural fibers, like angora and wool, or soft, sculptable fabrics, like viscose, result in pieces that are texturally complex, and that adhere to the body in extraordinary ways. Fast is all about creating pieces that transcend the trends. &#8220;I believe there is a growing interest in craftsmanship in fashion these days,&#8221; he says, &#8220;as opposed to quick fix disposable pieces. I am focusing on timeless classics.&#8221;  I, for one, hope to Christ that this is what timeless classics look like in knitwear from now on. Fast&#8217;s designs combine a comprehensive historical perspective with his modern sensibility. The end product is a line of super [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just saying to myself to the other day&#8230;&#8221;Self,&#8221; I says, &#8220;What you need is a durable and stylish coke spoon. You&#8217;re better than this cut up subway straw.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t know that the complete and total fucking genius Ken Courtney, of Ju$t Another Rich Kid was listening to my oft-whispered prayer and busily collaborating and producing that very thing. Check it: Courtney teamed up with designers from Surface to Air, Terence Koh, Nice Collective, and Various Projects to manufacture this limited edition set of five piece set of designer coke spoons entitled He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. I know, it&#8217;s really hard to see the details in the pictures, but let me describe for you the wonders within this specially produced steel box. Contents of the box: 1 silver replica of the infamous McDonald&#8217;s coffee stirrer 1 baroque skull multi-headed spoon (for sharing!) 1 key with a secret compartment 1 lubricated credit card 1 minimalist mini-spoon Ummm, who could ask for anything more? Better pictures? Say no more. A hardcopy? I&#8217;m on it. Photo Credit: This Heart&#8217;s On Fire]]></description>
