So WHoS Tom?an InTervIeW WITH BLaKe myCoSKIe,

Founder oF TomS

If youre familiar with TOMS you know

that for every pair purchased a kid

who needs them is receiving a brand

new pair of shoes. But TOMS isnt a

person its an idea. Blake Mycoskie

travelled to Argentina in 2006.

There, he witnessed extreme poverty

and found himself wishing he could

outt the kids he saw walking around

barefoot. This dream gave rise to the

business, and TOMS was born. During

its rst year, TOMS sold 10,000 pairs

of shoes. He returned to Argentina

later that year with family and friends

and gave back to the children who

had rst inspired him.

TOMS works with humanitarian organi-

zations that help distribute new shoes

to children in over 40 countries around

the globe. These partners are experts

in the eld, ensuring that TOMS is able

to give sustainably and responsibly.

Since 2006, TOMS has given over 2

million pairs of new shoes to children

in need.

Tell Me AbOuT reTurNiNg TOArgeNTiNA TO DO yOur firSTShOe-DrOp bAck iN 2006.I had originally intended to return toArgentina with 250 pairs of shoes forthe children Id met earlier that year.Instead, I returned with my familyand friends with 10,000 pairs ofshoes. It was an amazing feeling toreturn to Argentina with more thanwhat I had expected and to be givingthese shoes with my mom next to me!

There were three boys who had justreceived their TOMS, and they ledme to a eld where they loved to playsoccer. It was full of rocks and glass,yet they had been playing barefoot-ed. Their rst thought when they hadreceived their shoes was that playingsoccer would be easier and evengive them speed! Experiencing thatwith them was one of my most fulll-ing moments.

Where hAve yOu DrOppeDShOeS SiNce?Ive been fortunate to travel to manydifferent locations like Ethiopia,South Africa, and Honduras.

hOW MANy DAyS A yeAr WOulD yOueSTiMATe yOure ON The rOAD?Over 200 days a year, for sure.

WhAT Are yOu reADiNgrighT NOW?Im re-reading Let My People GoSurng by Patagonias Yvon Chui-nard. I have so much respect forthe brand he has built.

WheN WAS The lAST TiMeyOu DANceD?It was on a recent Giving Trip inHonduras! Typically, after wevetted each of the kids in their newshoes, we get to spend time withthem whether it be blowing bubbles,playing soccer, or having a big danceparty. I can vividly remember thegroup of volunteers and about 50kids dancing in a giant circle in thehills of the Copan region in Honduras.

CLaSSICS WITH a TWISTby SaSha baker

We WanT To BrIngComForTaBLe, eaSy

To underSTandFooTWear madeWITH Care BaCK InToTHe marKeT aT an

aFFordaBLe PrICe.

Inspired by the creativity in garments,

handbags, shoes and small leather

goods they saw in Guatemala,

the people behind new shoe brand

2568 offer a line of classic shoe

shapes reinterpreted with fabrics and

materials carefully sourced from the

native artisans they discovered on

their travels through Central America.

WheN DiD 2568 STArT ANDWhAT iS The STOry behiNDThe iNcepTiON Of The brAND?2568 was started last year in NYC.The name refers to the childhoodhome of one of the founders. Theidea was that just as he had startedover in a new country as a child,our company was starting over inGuatemala with a new brand. 2568products were ofcially launched instores in January 2012.

WhAT MAkeS yOur brAND STANDOuT AND hOW DO yOu DeScribeyOur viSiON AS A cOMpANy?Our vision is classics with a twist,be it color or handmade fabricsloomed only in Guatemala, softerleathers, a twist on a classic designlike a moccasin the possibilitiesare endless. We want to bringcomfortable, easy to understandfootwear made with care back intothe market at an affordable price.

Tell uS A biT AbOuT hOW ThepeNDleTON cOllAbOrATiONcAMe AbOuT?The designer has been collectingPendleton vintage fabrics for severalyears and fell in love with thepatterns. All the variations of colorinvolved in the weave make it veryspecial. Because it also representeda native american aesthetic, wethought it would be a good partnerfor our Guatemalan native look, sowe contacted Pendleton and theyagreed to a collaboration with usfor footwear.

WhAT kiND Of perSON iSWeAriNg 2568? WhATlifeSTyleS DO yOurbrANDS fiT Well WiThAND reflecT?He or she is about 18 to 34 but canbe older with a younger sensibility.They are comfortable with colorand casualness - they dont careabout looking fancy or trendy somuch as they care about styleand uniqueness.

WhAT kiND Of AeSTheTic DOeSyOur fOOTWeAr hAve ANDWhAT iS The prOceSS behiNDcreATiNg NeW DeSigNS?We have very simple designs and weorganize our line by constructions -moccasins, ballerinas, espadrilles,boots and sandals. There is alwaysthe possibility of expanding as well.

yOur fOOTWeAr hAS A gOODMix Of TrADiTiONAl ANDcONTeMpOrAry, iN TerMS OfiTS MATeriAlS, The hiSTOryiT iS DrAWiNg ON AND TheMArkeT iT iS NOW reAchiNg.Will ThiS bAlANce Of clASSicAND MODerN cONTiNue TO be ASigNATure fOr yOur brAND?Yes we have always incorporatedthe handmade artisan factor withan industrial approach for makingthe shoes - we bring back vintageand classic styles, but work onmodernizing them for today.

WhAT NeW STyleS AND AeSTheTicShAve yOu beeN DevelOpiNg fOrupcOMiNg SeASONS?Were reworking some cowboyitems and looking at direct attachedfootwear as a substitute for thevulcanized. We are also looking atreinventing boat shoes and drivers.

FLy me To THe moona SHorT QuaSI-reaL HISTory oF

THe moon BooTby Sarah Steinberg

its ad to man a wod wMoon boots ant aaa to anasonsta wo wants tm, t tatwas at t as a n 1969,wn ganao Zanatta, a onitaan so ma, was standn npnn Staton stan at a oaddtn an ma o t moonandn. l t st o t wod was asnatd t tns saw: tos samn n t ossasts wt t s tan ads,oatn aond t was no tn as t PWND at.T t w, on t anmoon, ttn t t on t.

We cant, of course, know exactlywhat Giancarlo Zanatta was thinkingat the moment, but considering hisnext course of action was to gohome and design what would later beknown as The Moon Boot, it probablysounded a lot like, Dang, thoseastronaut-man boots are awesome.I totally want a pair! OMG, I have tobuild them! Likely he thought thisin Italian.

Giancarlo went home to Montebellunato design what would soon becomethe worlds rst high fashion winterperformance footwear, eschewingthe traditional leathers and optingfor nylon and foams materials thatat the time were on the cutting edgeof technology.

The rst Moon Boots were a hit withthe aprs ski crowd, and the trendtook off from there. The rest, as theysay, is history. Forty years since theiroriginal launch, Moon Boots still lookspace-aged, only now you can ndthem in the Museum, too: The Louvreshowcased them in their exhibit ofthe most important design objectsof the 20th century.

Q&A WiTh ThOM berry,heAD Of MArkeTiNg

fOr MOON bOOTS

WhAT kiND Of MuSic DOeS TheMOON bOOT TeAM geT iNTO?In Moon Boot land, we like to stickto the theme... at least once everyApresSki, its dancing in your MoonBoots to the Polices Walking on theMoon. Every now an again, a truedoposci (Italian for after ski) experttries to go full Michael Jacksonand bust out a moonwalk, but wecaution that thats really only fortrue doposci experts...

if yOu Were TrAveliNg TO TheMOON, WhAT WOulD yOu briNg?Id pack four things. First, MoonBoots. Second, WD-40. Third, DuctTape. Fourth, Ranch dressing. Withthat combo you can handle prettymuch anything.

WhO creATeD The MOON bOOTfONT? iTS SO MODerN ANDSixTieS AT ONce!The Original Moon Boot font wascreated by the original design teamwhich was led by our owner andfounder Giancarlo Zanatta.To us its sacred. Its the Original.

WOulD yOu DeScribe yOurSelfAS A WeST cOAST kiND Of guy?Yeah, Im an extremely open personand my art denitely has a WestCoast vibe to it. All of the life in theoceans and mountains here shapedme and my art style to go green andbe nature friendly.

DO yOu reMeMber The firSTTiMe yOu DreW?I always drew, but I never got intodrawing until I was around eight.Thats when I started to noticegrafti art. Because I grew up inthe ancouver I was surroundedby grafti culture. The scene is socompetitive and egotistical that Ipracticed my drawing every day.Then my mother introduced me tocomputer drawing applications andencouraged me to work in graphicdesign. It all went from there!

yOu kNOW hOW kiDS DrAW TheSAMe ThiNg Over AND Over?like A hOuSe, A STick figure,A cAr WhAT WAS iT WiTh yOu?I used to love to draw comiccharacters when I was really young. Ihad hundreds of DC comics, but myfavourite characters to draw wereBatman, Robin and their enemy illerMoth. They were a bit out of mydrawing league, but it was still fun tolearn from.

WhAT iNSpireS yOu TODAy?I nd science, nature, easternBuddhist philosophies and seeingthings from different perspectivesinspires me strongly to makemeaningful art.

DO yOu ever feel The NeeD TOreTreAT iNTO NATure?Only when Im having artists blockand I cant produce any work; thenI nd its good to take a break andplay a little.

DO yOu Try TO MAke yOurWOrkS eASy TO DecODe,Or DO yOu revel iN AcerTAiN MySTery?My art is fundamentally infused withmy minimal modern grafti style.I think my drawn line is a natural,playful style of icon vectoring design.

WhATS yOur fAvOuriTeWOODeN ObecT?I love the textures in wood. I wouldntsay I have a favourite wooden object,but I do have a favourite element,which is carbon, because almost allof a tree is completely carbon, and soare diamonds. Im very into science.

WhATS A creATive TOOl yOucOulDNT live WiThOuT?My brain would be the most criticalthing otherwise my laptop.

I want people to love our product for more than justthe fact thats its recycled, explains Raphal Ricard,one of the three dudes that form Cest Beau. They buildshortboards, small skateboards made from bigger usedboards. ids throw away their decks when theyre oftenstill brand new! Their boards may be baptized withGrandpa names (Rosaire, Rjean, Yvon), but theyre farfrom old-fashioned. Its faster, makes sharper turnsand can easily hop onto the sidewalk. Hipsters that

cant skate best stay clear.

If bowling alleys are everywhere now, Guillaume Mnardis kinda getting the blame. A bearded and built guy,the manly wood worker walked us through the spacewhere he produces furniture and bar countertops.A lab cabinet has been transformed into cabinet doors,a land surveyors tripod into a lamp, a kids desk into astreamlined chair. Everything is recycled, particularlylocal wood. We have noble woods here, like oak, maple,cherry or hemlock. They are raw species that are similar

to us. Or similar to himGrrrr.

When he stumbled upon a photo of a guitar made froma cigar box, Lenny wanted to know how it sounded.He then built one, only to nd the gritty sound of theDeep South. I was interested in Blues from the 30s.In those days, poor musicians would make guitars withwhatever they could nd. I liked the idea of making mu-sic at any cost. Even if his product has been perfected

since, you can still nd in its sound a drop of poverty.

The chair Marc-Antoine has in the corner of his studioisnt really made for sitting. Sharper than it is functional,its more of an art piece than anything else. Its darkwood comes from Africa, and we understand quite fastthe Marc-Antoine has a thing for colourful woods whenhe shows us the purple shavings from the wood usedto make a bike handlebar. I like pushing wood to theextreme. Its a material that weve been underestimatingwith the rise of plastics.

I work with all materials. However, with wood, I get thisimpression that I can make anything, explains Alex.To make anything includes boutique decorations, eventinstallations and even platform shoes. As for all materi-als, that sometimes implies taxidermy animals, that hellinclude in his installations. This passion/business hasbeen Alexs mainstay for the past year: I am interestedin antique Taxidermy, out of respect for the animal. I lovending them and giving them a second life.

iS There A relATiON beTWeeN yOur MuSic ANDyOur viSuAl ArT?I dont see much of a distinction. Any creative process isjust a creative process for me. I mean, the tools can bedifferent. But its coming from the same place.

MOST peOple DONT kNOW ThAT yOu Were AviSuAl ArTiST befOre yOu Were A MuSiciAN.I didnt think it was a big deal or anything different atall until people started mentioning it. Whatever I havein front of me Ill just use that to make whatever art Ican make. Anything that I have I will try to use. Music isquite new to me. Ive always identied as a painter so itsfunny when people discover that after the fact. They arelike oh! So youre also this! And Im like, actually, I wasoriginally that.

WhAT The relATiONShip beTWeeN DArkNeSS ANDbeAuTy? ThAT SeeMS TO be A ruNNiNg TheMe iNbOTh yOur MuSic AND yOur ArT.I really do feel that for something to be truly beauti-ful it needs to be deeply unsettling at the same time.I dont think I can ever get something really good out ofwhat I do unless I kind of have to suffer for it. Its alwaysthe thing that drives me to the edge that Ill rememberfondly, rather than the thing that was just kind of easy.It needs to be painful, thats just a really important partof music for me, art too. If Im bored then I cant do it.Ive thrown away a million songs and a million paintingsbecause theyre boring. I sort of need to be shocked intobeing awake or something.

SiNce ThiS iS The WOOD iSSue, i WAS WONDeriNg,DiD yOu SpeND A lOT Of TiMe iN The fOreSTS OfbriTiSh cOluMbiA grOWiNg up?Yeah, I denitely spent a lot of time in the forest.Ive always sort of had this kind of internal struggle be-tween the forest and the beach. I feel like most peopleare just like, Oh the beach is better and Ive alwaysbeen like, oh I really like the mountains. I can identifymore with the mountains, maybe because Im really,really scared of the ocean. The mountains are a bit safer;you can crouch in them. Whereas in the ocean you arejust exposed and there are miles beneath you and sharks.But maybe the ocean is almost more beautiful because

its so horrifying.
