matthew waldman on miho hatori's elle japan blog

[posting from puerto rico this week!] really cool blog by super artist miho hatori for elle magazine japan. miho really 'got' the philosophical underpinnings of my designs without any explanation from me – so nice to expand the mutual admiration society!

a very busy thursday night

this past thursday was very busy indeed. first, the booka launch party for the new steven heller book, the design entrepreneur, in which there's a 2 page interview with me, and then the very glam opening party for the new ddc lab store on mercer street in soho! it was fun to have both uptown chic and downtown buzz in the same night! all the ddc brand ambassadors were sporting prototypes of the upcoming ddc lab + nooka collab with their ddc lab + new balance fashions. it seemed like everyone in the fashion world was there so i got to cram a lot of socializing into one evening [the redbull and vodkas certainly helped].

it does look like the gay marriage ban was voted-in in california and i hope people in the entertainment industry put their money where their hearts are and move production for all their shows out of california.
