I always pull inspiration from these books. I love reading Andy’s escapades and the graphic presentation of Babitz words in the original Fiorucci book.

This early 2000s book takes you from Munich to Berlin London to new York on a wild fashion adventure that opens new avenues of thinking and inspiration! I found the boundary breaking art in this book so captivating! Also lots of pictures!!!

🪞Okay… This one is sort of a secret but information should be free—and good taste should be passed around like a bad flu. The catalog that accompanied the auction of the late interior designer Jim Walrod's personal collection is like a reference bible for brilliant style. Jim was discovered by Andy Warhol and worked at Fiorucci, and later opened his Form and Function gallery in 1998. He designed my friend Mel Ottenberg's apartment, and also did Mike D's from the Beastie Boys. He worked with Steven Meisel and Andre Balasz, consulted on the unforgettable interiors in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm, and perhaps most famously was David Bowie's decorator. If I could steal anyone's eye, it would be Jim's. Favorite pieces I discovered through him include Lapo Binazzi's MGM Table Lamp, Antonio Locatelli and Pietro Salmoraghi's Centopiedi daybed, Nanda Vigo's Light Tree, and Ettore Sotsass's Attribution shelves. He was obsessed with Gaetano Pesce and had the absolutely jaw-dropping Nobody's Perfect cabinet in his possession… I love feeling jealous.

🤓Why not systematically observe, experiment, measure, test, formulate, and modify a hypothesis? Research! Employ the scientific method! Expand your knowledge (and accouterments)! Looking for new kitchen gear? Wirecutter, America’s Test Kitchen, Bon Ap, Cult Flav… you don’t have to listen to them but you can and it isn't lovely to know what makes a great mandolin?
