July 2025 digest

18 July 2025, monthly digest

Material of the week:

Paper ! 

I was sent the new GF Smith colorplan sample book with some posterzines !! Oh em gee – the binder is great love this will look great on my desk and I even love the envelope as I can keep all my random print safely inside. I enjoyed reading the Patrick Thomas & David Carson Posterzines – it is such a cool way to see the stock in use. I will add them to my Posterzine collection. Thank you GF Smith !! 

Crucial Moments:

My top 3 shopping & lifestyle picks: 

Posavasos, Jumbo Press
Risotto Studio X Bisley Bisley
Joy Crookes new merch. Nice type!

Lace Up:

I wish I could go to:  

Studio Two Point. Hoxton, London. Opening August 2025!

I was lucky enough to go to the soft launch event last week at Studio Two Point and got a sneak peak of the print and photography studios. Can’t wait to visit the coffee shop & try more cocktails! ! 

Hello ___ American Apparel

Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel

The new Netflix documentary on the rise & fall of American Apparel was soooo good. The founder and culture at the company was pretty awful but the show reminded me of the amazing marketing and visual style the brand had. Deffo worth a watch if you are interested in the history of the brand, how it started out and how it basically disappeared.
