Jeff Staple posted a picture on his Twitter of the cover of the latest issue of Reed Pages. The issues cover story is on Erykah Badu who Jeff spent a few days on tour with. Very happy to see a new issue is being made as I absolutely loved the first one.
When the magazine first debuted, it was suppose to be a quarterly and I heavily considered getting a subscription but opted not to because I didn’t think they would publish them on a timely matter. It seems I was right as the last issue came out in the middle of 2009. That’s not a knock against them as I understand how difficult it is to produce a magazine in a timely manner, especially for Jeff and Staple Design guys who have a lot on their plate as it is.
That said, I’m glad to know they are grinding out another one. Can’t wait for the issue to come out. Long live print!
This is one of my favorite videos. Despite not owning many Staple Design shirts(I have a few but most unfortunately run too big for my liking) they remain one of my favorite brands. Here Jeff Staple tells his story from the company’s humble beginnings to how it came to be the creative force it is today.
He speaks on everything from designing covers for Rawkus Records in the late 90′s, the Pigeon Dunk, collaborating with Hiroshi Fujiwara on iDiom, and his retail store Reed Space. It’s a lengthy video but well worth the time as far as I’m concerned. Absolutely inspiring.
I like John Mayer. I like Staple Design. Nice reworking of the old Bayer logo. Staple is one of my favorite clothing brands and when they collaborate with someone I am personally a fan of, I’m all for it. I’m gonna be super self referential here but it seems I’ve blogged about John Mayer more times than I realized. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but I just find it a tad surprising. Well, let’s add another blog entry to that list shall we?
Oh and just in case you’re wondering, I’m not an affluent white suburban female college student in her mid-twenties.
Staple is one of my favorite brands. I’d have bought this by now if it wasn’t all over that Chris Brown video. I shudder to think of people associating me with that video when they see me wearing this. Don’t get me wrong, 9 times out of 10, I could give two shits about what people think about me, but I have to draw the line when it comes to Chris Brown. If someone were to come up to me and ask “Hey, isn’t that the same jacket from that Chris Brown video?”, i’d jump off of the nearest bridge. I love how this post is less about how ill this jacket is and more about my hatred for Chris Brown. Man, I hate him.
