GIV - well where you at right now?

Jon - my apartment- denver colorado 0′ N 105° 16′ W

GIV - How is it down there compared to Boulder?

Jon - Well there are lots less hippies which is a good thing, and I go to school down here so that’s nice. I like it a lot better, I’m kind of a city person and there is enough urban down here to kill a mule so that’s an all around plus.

Short and Sweet Interview with Kazuki Kuraishi

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

The Brilliance has a short and sweet interview up with Kazuki Kuraishi, designer for infamous Japanese design/fashion house Fragment. I really like that he still does much of his designs by hand on paper first before going to the computer. Got to keep up the original skills I believe.
