QUOI is a collection of what I interpreted the world of Fashion and Commercial Art to be. My intention was to create a volume that would mimic the spirit of an avant-garde publication from some far-away dimension where everybody is beautiful and talented and intelligent and full of good intentions, captured in the way my head perceives the universe. Over time, this project morphed into a way to collaborate with old friends, forge new relationships, and become something I never thought I’d ever truly achieve; a true expression of myself.

QUOI is an answer to an open ended question. The infinite space between the spark of a notion, and the debate that happens inside someones head clashed with the influences of an outside world.

Quote from Editors’ Letter
For this volume of QUOI, I realized that the theme of this current season is: discovery. Newness, finding and learning of jobs, and ways of thinking that may exist in the periphery, but never in the full sensory.

Quote from Editors’ Letter
We all exist on
a pale blue dot, floating in space between an infinite nothing and an endless void, meaningless to the universe that is indifferent to the blip of life we had.Time for a martini.

Quote from Editors’ Letter
2019 is finally coming to a close, and 2020 is already feeling like a shitshow. With the world the way it is now with it’s chicken sandwich wars and fannypack rebirths and the onslaught of orange tragedy, it might not be the worst idea to become distracted more often.
