This Fall, were all about wood.
So listen up Birch, this Maple
get juicy: its time for wood fun
Oak-K?
We know youre asking
yourself one key question by
now: How much wood could a
woodchuck chuck? Well, we
might not have that answer for
you, but we do have a bunch of
wood jokes. From Cub Scouts to
skateboarders, treehuggers to
lumberjacks, we salute all the
wood lovers out there!
Its time to go against the grain.
Because wood is good.

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
outft the kids he saw walking around
barefoot. This dream gave rise to the
business, and TOMS was born. During
its frst 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 frst 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 feld, 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 TO
ArgeNTiNA TO DO yOur firST
ShOe-DrOp bAck iN 2006.
I had originally intended to return to
Argentina with 250 pairs of shoes for
the children Id met earlier that year.
Instead, I returned with my family
and friends with 10,000 pairs of
shoes. It was an amazing feeling to
return to Argentina with more than
what I had expected and to be giving
these shoes with my mom next to me!
There were three boys who had just
received their TOMS, and they led
me to a feld where they loved to play
soccer. It was full of rocks and glass,
yet they had been playing barefoot-
ed. Their frst thought when they had
received their shoes was that playing
soccer would be easier and even
give them speed! Experiencing that
with them was one of my most fulfll-
ing moments.
Where hAve yOu DrOppeD
ShOeS SiNce?
Ive been fortunate to travel to many
different locations like Ethiopia,
South Africa, and Honduras.
hOW MANy DAyS A yeAr WOulD yOu
eSTiMATe yOure ON The rOAD?
Over 200 days a year, for sure.
WhAT Are yOu reADiNg
righT NOW?
Im re-reading Let My People Go
Surfng by Patagonias Yvon Chui-
nard. I have so much respect for
the brand he has built.
WheN WAS The lAST TiMe
yOu DANceD?
It was on a recent Giving Trip in
Honduras! Typically, after weve
ftted each of the kids in their new
shoes, we get to spend time with
them whether it be blowing bubbles,
playing soccer, or having a big dance
party. I can vividly remember the
group of volunteers and about 50
kids dancing in a giant circle in the
hills of the Copan region in Honduras.

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 AND
WhAT iS The STOry behiND
The iNcepTiON Of The brAND?
2568 was started last year in NYC.
The name refers to the childhood
home of one of the founders. The
idea was that just as he had started
over in a new country as a child,
our company was starting over in
Guatemala with a new brand. 2568
products were offcially launched in
stores in January 2012.
WhAT MAkeS yOur brAND STAND
OuT AND hOW DO yOu DeScribe
yOur viSiON AS A cOMpANy?
Our vision is classics with a twist,
be it color or handmade fabrics
loomed only in Guatemala, softer
leathers, a twist on a classic design
like a moccasin the possibilities
are endless. We want to bring
comfortable, easy to understand
footwear made with care back into
the market at an affordable price.
Tell uS A biT AbOuT hOW The
peNDleTON cOllAbOrATiON
cAMe AbOuT?
The designer has been collecting
Pendleton vintage fabrics for several
years and fell in love with the
patterns. All the variations of color
involved in the weave make it very
special. Because it also represented
a native american aesthetic, we
thought it would be a good partner
for our Guatemalan native look, so
we contacted Pendleton and they
agreed to a collaboration with us
for footwear.
WhAT kiND Of perSON iS
WeAriNg 2568? WhAT
lifeSTyleS DO yOur
brANDS fiT Well WiTh
AND reflecT?
He or she is about 18 to 34 but can
be older with a younger sensibility.
They are comfortable with color
and casualness - they dont care
about looking fancy or trendy so
much as they care about style
and uniqueness.
WhAT kiND Of AeSTheTic DOeS
yOur fOOTWeAr hAve AND
WhAT iS The prOceSS behiND
creATiNg NeW DeSigNS?
We have very simple designs and we
organize our line by constructions -
moccasins, ballerinas, espadrilles,
boots and sandals. There is always
the possibility of expanding as well.

Yes we have always incorporated
the handmade artisan factor with
an industrial approach for making
the shoes - we bring back vintage
and classic styles, but work on
modernizing them for today.

FLy me To THe moon
a SHorT QuaSI-reaL HISTory oF
THe moon BooT
by Sarah Stei nberg
its hard to imagine a world where
Moon boots arent available to any
fashionista who wants them, but that
was exactly the case back in 1969,
when giancarlo Zanatta, a young
italian shoe maker, was standing in
penn Station staring up at a billboard
depicting an image of the moon
landing. like the rest of the world
he was fascinated by the things he
saw: those spacemen in their bulbous
spacesuits with their fsh tank heads,
foating around like it was no big
thing because they PWND gravity.
There they were, on the freaking
moon, putting their feet on it.
We cant, of course, know exactly
what Giancarlo Zanatta was thinking
at the moment, but considering his
next course of action was to go
home and design what would later be
known as The Moon Boot, it probably
sounded a lot like, Dang, those
astronaut-man boots are awesome.
I totally want a pair! OMG, I have to
build them! Likely he thought this
in Italian.
Giancarlo went home to Montebelluna
to design what would soon become
the worlds frst high fashion winter
performance footwear, eschewing
the traditional leathers and opting
for nylon and foams materials that
at the time were on the cutting edge
of technology.
The frst Moon Boots were a hit with
the aprs ski crowd, and the trend
took off from there. The rest, as they
say, is history. Forty years since their
original launch, Moon Boots still look
space-aged, only now you can fnd
them in the Museum, too: The Louvre
showcased them in their exhibit of
the most important design objects
of the 20th century.
Q&A WiTh ThOM berry,
heAD Of MArkeTiNg
fOr MOON bOOTS
WhAT kiND Of MuSic DOeS The
MOON bOOT TeAM geT iNTO?
In Moon Boot land, we like to stick
to the theme... at least once every
ApresSki, its dancing in your Moon
Boots to the Polices Walking on the
Moon. Every now an again, a true
doposci (Italian for after ski) expert
tries to go full Michael Jackson
and bust out a moonwalk, but we
caution that thats really only for
true doposci experts...
if yOu Were TrAveliNg TO The
MOON, WhAT WOulD yOu briNg?
Id pack four things. First, Moon
Boots. Second, WD-40. Third, Duct
Tape. Fourth, Ranch dressing. With
that combo you can handle pretty
much anything.
WhO creATeD The MOON bOOT
fONT? iTS SO MODerN AND
SixTieS AT ONce!
The Original Moon Boot font was
created by the original design team
which was led by our owner and
founder Giancarlo Zanatta.
To us its sacred. Its the Original.

drinking age, 18-year-
old Tyler Dale is a
graphic designer
whos got such a unique
favour, youd think
hed been developing
it for decades. hes got
a thing for pears and
logos that look like
bauhaus buttons
youd pin to your
steam-pressed shirt.
his favourite colours
are red, violet and blue.
he speaks a language
thats composed of
drawings, like his very
own hieroglyphics.
hes a nature lover, a
wood worshipper and
his preferred kind of
shoe is anything that
he can just slip on is it
any surprise hes from
kitsilano, vancouver?
WOulD yOu DeScribe yOurSelf
AS A WeST cOAST kiND Of guy?
Yeah, Im an extremely open person
and my art defnitely has a West
Coast vibe to it. All of the life in the
oceans and mountains here shaped
me and my art style to go green and
be nature friendly.
DO yOu reMeMber The firST
TiMe yOu DreW?
I always drew, but I never got into
drawing until I was around eight.
Thats when I started to notice
graffti art. Because I grew up in
the vancouver I was surrounded
by graffti culture. The scene is so
competitive and egotistical that I
practiced my drawing every day.
Then my mother introduced me to
computer drawing applications and
encouraged me to work in graphic
design. It all went from there!
yOu kNOW hOW kiDS DrAW The
SAMe ThiNg Over AND Over?
like A hOuSe, A STick figure,
A cAr WhAT WAS iT WiTh yOu?
I used to love to draw comic
characters when I was really young. I
had hundreds of DC comics, but my
favourite characters to draw were
Batman, Robin and their enemy killer
Moth. They were a bit out of my
drawing league, but it was still fun to
learn from.
WhAT iNSpireS yOu TODAy?
I fnd science, nature, eastern
Buddhist philosophies and seeing
things from different perspectives
inspires me strongly to make
meaningful art.
DO yOu ever feel The NeeD TO
reTreAT iNTO NATure?
Only when Im having artists block
and I cant produce any work; then
I fnd its good to take a break and
play a little.
DO yOu Try TO MAke yOur
WOrkS eASy TO DecODe,
Or DO yOu revel iN A
cerTAiN MySTery?
My art is fundamentally infused with
my minimal modern graffti style.
I think my drawn line is a natural,
playful style of icon vectoring design.
WhATS yOur fAvOuriTe
WOODeN ObjecT?
I love the textures in wood. I wouldnt
say I have a favourite wooden object,
but I do have a favourite element,
which is carbon, because almost all
of a tree is completely carbon, and so
are diamonds. Im very into science.
WhATS A creATive TOOl yOu

My brain would be the most critical
thing otherwise my laptop.

Youre going to get kidnapped. Its
not a big deal, but it is an inevitabil-
ity. And its not necessarily a bad
thing! You know that Bob Dylan
lyric, How many roads must a man
walk down/Before you can call him a
man? Thats about walking through
the woods, lost, after a kidnapping.
As Dylan implies, a good old-fash-
ioned kidnapping will change your
life for the best. But frst there are a
couple of obstacles to overcome.
First, youll want to check your
pants. Are they saturated with
fear-pee? Probably. Find a private
spot (good news: everywhere in the
woods is a private spot) and take
off your pants. Locate some soft,
comfortable plant and glue a bunch
of its leaves together (using pine
sap, dummy!) Now you have a fash-
ionable microskirt. (Are you a boy?
Whatever, its 2012.)

Youll need some parents now that
you are permanently stuck in the
forest. Track a pack of wolves and
then, after a few days, casually ask
to join their pack, like it aint no
thang. (You dont want to seem
as though youre trying too hard.
Wolves hate that.) Later, when you
reintegrate into society after exten-
sive scientifc testing, youll be able
to growl and eat with your hands
and be nude without much fuss from
society. When people ask you, horri-
fed, if youve been raised by wolves,
you can answer, Why yes I was!

I want people to love our product for more than just
the fact thats its recycled, explains Raphal Ricard,
one of the three dudes that form Cest Beau. They build
shortboards, small skateboards made from bigger used
boards. kids throw away their decks when theyre often
still brand new! Their boards may be baptized with
Grandpa names (Rosaire, Rjean, Yvon), but theyre far
from old-fashioned. Its faster, makes sharper turns
and can easily hop onto the sidewalk. Hipsters that
cant skate best stay clear.

If bowling alleys are everywhere now, Guillaume Mnard
is kinda getting the blame. A bearded and built guy,
the manly wood worker walked us through the space
where 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 a
streamlined chair. Everything is recycled, particularly
local 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 from
a cigar box, Lenny wanted to know how it sounded.
He then built one, only to fnd the gritty sound of the
Deep South. I was interested in Blues from the 30s.
In those days, poor musicians would make guitars with
whatever they could fnd. I liked the idea of making mu-
sic at any cost. Even if his product has been perfected
since, you can still fnd in its sound a drop of poverty.

FurniTurE & OBJEcTS
The chair Marc-Antoine has in the corner of his studio
isnt really made for sitting. Sharper than it is functional,
its more of an art piece than anything else. Its dark
wood comes from Africa, and we understand quite fast
the Marc-Antoine has a thing for colourful woods when
he shows us the purple shavings from the wood used
to make a bike handlebar. I like pushing wood to the
extreme. Its a material that weve been underestimating
with the rise of plastics.

I work with all materials. However, with wood, I get this
impression that I can make anything, explains Alex.
To make anything includes boutique decorations, event
installations and even platform shoes. As for all materi-
als, that sometimes implies taxidermy animals, that hell
include in his installations. This passion/business has
been Alexs mainstay for the past year: I am interested
in antique Taxidermy, out of respect for the animal. I love
fnding them and giving them a second life.

it may be a journalistic clich, but its hard not to talk
about vancouver-born claire boucher (aka grimes) in
terms of contrasts. her music is both sweet and haunt-
ing, with warm pop melodies and sprite-like harmonies
spilling over mechanized electronics, drones, loops,
samples, beats and driving basslines. her visual art is
at once cute and disturbing: skulls with bows, fuzzy
creatures and blood. Shes both an introverted shut-in,
and an effervescent performer and deft conversation-
alist. unsurprisingly in a 20-minute conversation shell
name check inspiration from sources as disparate as
Marilyn Manson (for his fashion sense) and Stravinsky
(for his complex rhythmic sensibility). We recently
caught up with boucher on tour in rome to fnd out
more about the polarities that make up grimes.
iS There A relATiON beTWeeN yOur MuSic AND
yOur viSuAl ArT?
I dont see much of a distinction. Any creative process is
just a creative process for me. I mean, the tools can be
different. But its coming from the same place.
MOST peOple DONT kNOW ThAT yOu Were A
viSuAl ArTiST befOre yOu Were A MuSiciAN.
I didnt think it was a big deal or anything different at
all until people started mentioning it. Whatever I have
in front of me Ill just use that to make whatever art I
can make. Anything that I have I will try to use. Music is
quite new to me. Ive always identifed as a painter so its
funny when people discover that after the fact. They are
like oh! So youre also this! And Im like, actually, I was
originally that.

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 of
what I do unless I kind of have to suffer for it. Its always
the thing that drives me to the edge that Ill remember
fondly, rather than the thing that was just kind of easy.
It needs to be painful, thats just a really important part
of music for me, art too. If Im bored then I cant do it.
Ive thrown away a million songs and a million paintings
because theyre boring. I sort of need to be shocked into
being awake or something.

DiD yOu SpeND A lOT Of TiMe iN The fOreSTS Of
briTiSh cOluMbiA grOWiNg up?
Yeah, I defnitely 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 people
are just like, Oh the beach is better and Ive always
been like, oh I really like the mountains. I can identify
more 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 are
just exposed and there are miles beneath you and sharks.
But maybe the ocean is almost more beautiful because
its so horrifying.
