The STPL Fall 2009 cut + sew collection is now available at Reed Space and other fine retailers. As most of you know, each season, we focus on one aspect the academic life. For Fall ’09, the theme is “COMMUNITY WORKS”. The theme derived from my observation that as unemployment started going up lately, many people, of all ages, were heading back to the volunteer workforce. A silver-lining in these economic times…so I wanted to really focus on it. If you check out the entire collection, you’ll see that all the “models” are actual real-deal volunteers. We asked them a couple of questions about why they do what they do. The stories are as interesting as the clothes. Thanks to God’s Love We Deliver, Housing Works, National Multiple Sclerosis Society. And big thanks to Ana Leiva for the photos and production work.
STPL Fall 2009年カットソーコレクションがReed Spaceとその他の優良店舗で入手可能になりました。ご存知かと思いますが、毎シーズン、僕達は常に一つの事に重点を置いています。それは、人生で学ぶ事。2009年秋のテーマは「COMMUNITY WORKS (社会奉仕)」です。このテーマは、最近失業率が上がる中、年齢を問わずたくさんの人々が、再びボランティア活動に励んでいるのを頻繁に目にするようになった事から始まりました。この経済状況の中に見える明るい希望．．．だからこそ、これに重点をおきたかったのです。コレクションを全て見ると、「モデル」さんたちは、実際のボランティアであることが分かります。それぞれになぜ活動をしているか質問をしてみました。彼らのストーリーはコレクションの服と同じくらい興味深いです。God’s Love We Deliver、Housing Works、National Multiple Sclerosis Societyに感謝です。そして、写真と制作に関わってくれたAna Leivaにもありがとう。

“Then there is the realization that you are the beneficiary of volunteering.” Word. There’s so much strength and purpose behind Staple’s collections. Great job. Also, I think I saw you come around the corner of Allen and Rivington early Saturday morning. Would’ve said what’s up but you looked super focused like you just came from a run!
