What does happiness mean to me, someone who’s lived a life of darkness? For me it’s all those little bright things in life that I encountered. When I was little, an act of kindness people showed to me…little beauty that I found in ugliness that made me happy.

Hear Ping Fu’s compelling story about living through the Cultural Revolution and the inception of her successful company, Geomagic.

"Fashion is shit"

"Fashion is shit":

vroomheid:

WWD: After your Y-3 10th anniversary show in New York, you said that “in the world right now, fashion is s–t.” Can you elaborate on what you meant by that?

YOHJI: Let me talk like an old man. Young people, be careful. Beautiful things are disappearing every day. Be careful.…You don’t need to be [shopping at fast-fashion stores], especially young people. They are beautiful naturally, because they are young. So they should even wear simple jeans and a T-shirt. It’s enough. Don’t be too much fashionable.…The brand advertising is making you crazy. You don’t need to be too sexy. You are sexy enough.

“I’m a feminist, and God knows I’m loyal to my sex, and you must remember that from my very early days, when this city was scarcely safe from buffaloes, I was in the struggle for equal rights for women. But when we paraded through the catcalls of men and when we chained ourselves to lampposts to try to get our equality — dear child, we didn’t foresee those female writers.”

“Art should be about connecting and giving. It provides a two-way connection between you and the viewer. I don’t care if some ‘director of something’ or ‘someone from the board of something’ loves my work. When the plumber walks off the street and says he loves it then you know you’re doing something right.”

How do you make a photo shoot happen on a shoestring budget? Enthusiastic collaborators, a rolling rack from your first apartment, and a red Schoenhut toy piano, of course!

We had our first (1st!) photo shoot on April 20, 2013. We’re glad we finally got it together and that we’re lucky enough to know some Very Talented People.

G R I M E S: I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living :

actuallygrimes:

i dont want my words to be taken out of context

i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized

i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction

i dont want to live in a world where…

Tell it how it is, Ms. Grimes! And P.S. let us know if you ever need a Pierrot ensemble for whatever reason!
