Random Recs: Materialists, Peter Hujar, Scorsese’s Armani, Sofia’s shorts

A few snippets of digital ephemera and IRL recommendations I’ve enjoyed lately…

1/ Everybody’s sad about GIORGIO ARMANI’s passing – R.I.P – and quite rightly so. I enjoyed writing this piece a couple of years ago and especially re-watching Martin Scorsese’s short film on him, Made In Milan (below).

2/ I’m very late to the MATERIALISTS party but was instantly enamoured with Lucy’s Paris Texas boots in the opening scene. Could this autumn see the return of small skirts, tall boots and black Wolford opaques? Buy the boots here* (and get the rest of the wardrobe intel here).

3/ PETER HUJAR’S DAY (below), the stream-of-consciousness film starring Ben Whishaw lands in cinemas this autumn.

4/ TONNE GOODMAN talks. If you’re a 90s nostalgist, don’t miss this excellent podcast from earlier in the year with Tonne Goodman and Paul Cavaco. (Have tissues on standby for the ending!)

5/ This summer I learnt a new haberdashery term and can’t believe I never knew about ‘cabbage’, aka “the practice of making extra garments from offcuts or leftover fabric from cutting an item”. Obviously, from now on I’m pronouncing it ‘cabbahgge’, in the style of a 1980s New York ballroom queen.

6/ Incoming: SOFIA COPPOLA boxer shorts and PJ bottoms.

7/ HERBERT LEVINE (the revived shoe brand helmed by former The Row designer Trevor Houston) has just dropped in 12 stockists including Harrods, Saks 5^th Avenue and Mytheresa*. Vogue Business has a fascinating profile and this old Coveteur piece is great too. The shoes promise to be playful and practical. I like the look of this boot (below).

8/ P.S: We’ve been saying STEVE BUSCEMI’s name wrong. It’s Boo-SEM-ee, says the NYT (gift link).
