Wow! Ok, so these are vintage kimonos on top, vintage Levi's shorts on the bottom front. Everything put together as one piece, so you could call them overalls, shortalls, rompers, anything of that nature. They're quite interesting because they are almost flat, as in, one-dimensional in appearance. They're all one size, so the design looks equally right if loose or fitted around the waist. Very ingenius. Each are one of a kind. Unisex.

A collaboration with Stand Up Comedy as part of its No. 46 Contemporary Remediation collection. Inspired by the stellar costume design in Adrian Lyne's Indecent Proposal (1993), specifically the iconic bag/pack worn by Demi Moore. It is only through the production of this piece that our near life-long, and thoroughly unhealthy obsession with the original, has ceased. Thank you, BLESS!

This bag is something of a cross between apron, backpack, and utility vest. Adjustable canvas straps, large, lined, double pockets—separate interior and exterior, Riri zips. Its success lies in the balance—literally, as an object that distributes weight and proportion with perfect harmony; conceptually, as a commodity that appears both useless and useful, is fanciful and practical, that reflects both a nostalgic moment and an innovative hypothesis. Unisex.

A fantastic new version of this longtime collaborative style, originally developed with Stand Up Comedy as part of its No. 46 Contemporary Remediation collection. This new addition to the collection is a two-piece style, able to be worn separately. These one-of-a-kind pieces are sourced from vintage blazers, and remade into a cropped suit jacket, paired with a variation on the original Demimoore Bag. 

This bag is something of a cross between apron, backpack, and utility vest. Adjustable canvas straps, large, lined, exterior pockets.

The below excerpt regarding the book is in BLESS's own words:

2022 marked the 25th anniversary of BLESS. Since 1997, Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag have been working together on numerous transdisciplinary projects. Dubbing themselves ‘situation designers,’ their products blend fashion, art, design, architecture, business and social practice, always aiming to create an equilibrium between mental and physical exertion. Driven by the ambition to create objects for everyday use, BLESS defines her practice and products as a way of life—based on the firm belief that one can shape life today in a way that creates a future worth living in.

The third publication of the Paris and Berlin based designers is one of the three outcomes of the project A Year with… BLESS N°72 BLESSlet, with which KW Institute for Contemporary Art honored the anniversary. The publication encompasses BLESS’s collection and projects from 2010 until 2022, with written reflections on their innovative and witty work by Douglas Fogle and Hanneke Skerath, Anna Gritz and Krist Gruijthuijsen, Nakako Hayashi, Tom McCarthy, and Jeppe Ugelvig.

This backpack, technical and functional, but equal parts design, is reflective of the Japanese fascination with paper. The polyamide body has a crinkled, papery texture, super light and water-resistant. Leather drawstring top closure, with chestnut leather laptop sleeve on the back with zip closure. Cushioned, adjustable shoulder straps, and over the shoulder strap for carrying option as well.

Mary jane in a smooth leather upper, veg tan, silver plated buckle, cushioned interior leather foot bed, rubber outsole. 

Wear it with earbuds as you work if you're moving around, it really works well. Double card holder on reverse in addition to main compartment. Smooth leather, rubber shoulder strap. Fits all iPhone Standard, Plus, and Max models with a case (unless said case is a big one with jewels or knobs or something). Embossed logo on back. 6.9" h x 4.5" w; 22" strap drop.

David Reinfurt, Stuart Bailey, and Angie Keefer organize The Serving Library. An itinerant structure, it can be a library, exhibition, or set of actions, in different places that may provide a contextual backdrop for varied information.

Bulletins of The Serving Library are published as individual PDFs in the six months prior to formal distribution as a published compilation. The content is variable, but our take is that most contributions limn the fissures within cultural practices. Historical, contemporary, maudlin, and frighteningly close. The itches you can't scratch and the shadows you never saw.

This fashion issue, also serving/related to the exhibition White Petals Surround Your Yellow Heart, Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania (Feb-July 2013) organized by Anthony Elms. With Angie Keefer, Robin Kinross, Joke Robaard, Brian Eno, Nick Relph, Eli Diner, Chris Fite-Wassilik, Stuart Bailey, Sarah Demeuse, Adolf Loos, Kuki Shuzo, Sanya Kantarovsky, Perri MacKenzie, Anthony Elms.

Not only is the iconic Cecilie Bahnsen silhouette, it's in this incredible fiamma fil-coupé fabric. A flattering bandeau bodice with delicate spaghetti straps flow out into an A-line peplum. Super light and flattering on many types of bodies. Finished with a zip closure.

Taffeta is a party fabric but in this context it also reads as a super cool take on the volumized, tiered, baby doll dress. This version of the classic party dress is brought into the modern era with sporty buckled straps and a big zip pocket across the bandeau and racerback top. So nice with bare shoulders, or more of a daytime look with a little t underneath.
