Talking holy clothes with Maurizio Amadei

MA: Actually, I think the best way to be dressed is to be naked. In the wild. But as we have this habit of dressing ourselves let’s try to make something that follows the lines of the body. For Carpe Diem I made a big story on the anatomy – I made some pieces that were cut to follow the lines of the muscles in the body. It was incredible.

Self Edge now got Dry Bones denim

Self Edge got a new line of stuff by Dry Bones, I photographed these products and got to try them on in person, they are really dope, my favorite was the Type III denim jacket, it is seriously next-level!

Introducing Dry Bones Japan:

There are certain Japanese Denim companies that fly under the radar and surpass all expectations for so long, we wonder why it’s taken so long for them to come into the spotlight. Dry Bones is that company, with almost 20 years of denim and garment production under their belts, they consider themselves to be from the second generation of denim companies worldwide; somewhere between the big three that started it all in America and the new group of companies in Japan producing denim.

Shopping in San Francisco – San Francisco Self Edge – Travel – New York Times

Pretty cool, Self Edge got onto NYT… 🙂

Shopping in San Francisco – San Francisco Self Edge – Travel – New York Times:

The denim that true jeans aficionados clamor for these days is from Japan, not the United States, and nowhere is that more apparent than at Self Edge, a boutique in the Mission District of San Francisco.

The store, which opened last year, is something between a premium specialty shop and a museum dedicated to a yearning for past quality ? a sentiment easily detected in the antique wooden furniture and Persian rugs that decorate the shop. Pairs of well-worn jeans hang behind glass on one wall. On another wall, visitors can look through racks of so-called selvedge denim ? the kind made famous in the ’50s and which can be as heavy as 21 ounces per square yard. According to Kiya Babzani, the owner of Self Edge, some of the labels sold at the store, which include Iron Heart and Flat Head, are available nowhere else in North America.
