This week’s Tweet of the Week goes to Laurence Chandler from Proof 7 and Rochambeau. It’s actually a retweet, but anyway, it’s a good one. Yup, pretty much everyone in this world falls within one of these three groups:

BOBBI BROWN.
NY Times recently sat down with makeup and cosmetics mogul Bobbi Brown. They specifically asked her about her hiring techniques and management style. Very interesting read. I concur with many of her ideals.
“When you’re talking to someone, look them in the eye. Always tell the truth. And you have to start at the bottom. I don’t care who you are and what you do, you have to start at the bottom. If there’s a job as a receptionist at a company you would love to work at and there’s nothing else, get that job. And don’t just sit there.
A lot of people have moved up in this company. Be open and be a sponge. I’ve always been a sponge. You’re around really cool, creative people, you see what they’re doing, how they’re dressing, what they’re reading, what their tastes are. I mean that’s what makes someone better at what they do — they’re just open to what’s going on.”

IN SADE’S WORDS.
Everybody and their mother is buzzing about Sade’s new album, “Soldier of Love”—the first in over a decade. The New York Times just recently did a great interview with Sade and it offers audio clips! It’s so rare to hear her speak…and it’s so dope. (Sometimes, I feel like I’m listening to Anoma Whittaker!)

SHOES UP.
Some new shoes landed in my collection recently.
Common Projects x United Bamboo (Thanks Marlene!)
A new Japanese brand called Boldstar. A lot of promise in this company! They still need a bit of work in their details, but overall, very nice.
The Boldstar Mid. Both are available at Oki-Ni.
One of the best Nike’s in recent memory: The Lunarwood TZ in collaboration with WoodWood. So much goodness in this design. Reminds me of the early 90s ACG styles but updated with even better fabrics and of course Lunar Midsole technology. (Thanks B!)
From WoodWood’s site: Not only is the LunarWood TZ our first collaborative shoe with Nike, the project also introduces a new Nike hydrid of the Lunar sole and ACG Wildwood. The upper of the light weight sneaker has been treated with a new nano-coating called ion-mask to make it water repellent, and the Lunar sole incorporates the new Nike Dynamic Support technology that adapts to a runner’s gait with each step.
The inspiration for the LunarWood comes from the urban environment and adventures in the night. Whereas the Wildwood was originally designed for running in nature our LunarWood is made for the cold and wet Scandinavian city nights. Inspiration comes from the world of graffiti and going on these nocturnal expeditions.
