We recently decided to clean out our messy sample room because it had reached a point of no return: stacks of samples, boxes of last season’s stock, and loads of junk that just needed to be taken to the dump. But in the back, we noticed that we had tons of new fabric just collecting [...]
Antenna magazine has only been around for one year, but they have already made a huge impact in the men’s premium street/contemporary fashion magazine segment with their product-centric approach to photographing the latest must-have consumer goods on pure white backgrounds. They publish only 4 issues per year (one for each season) but that’s the only [...]

Our good friends and partners from Masterpiece Apparel in Thailand were here in SF today visiting their customers. We chatted about production for a bit but quickly the subject of food took over the conversation. Although we acknowledged that good Thai can be had here in SF, the consensus is that you can’t beat the [...]

They rocked it out… Richard Ashcroft still [...]
Calling all Flavor-philes! We are in search of photographs of people wearing our clothing, so that we can get to know our fans and supporters better. You could be in your house, or posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, it doesn’t matter to us, just make sure that the Artificial Flavor garment is in [...]
There’s always interesting homes to be seen on a walk through SF’s unique neighborhoods… this house in Potrero Hill inspired me because of the sprightly mix of colors. Could be next season’s color palette?
It probably would be privy for one of us to own a cargo van for all the hauling that’s necessary when running an apparel business. Unfortunately, we all drive 4 door sedans, with the exception of my VW GTI, which is a 5 door hatch. With the rear seats folded down and the front seats [...]
