click click – 16-12-09

Welcome to Click Click, the once-again-regular roundup of what I find worth clicking on the internet.
- This is not the cringe-inducing Full Frontal Fashion I watched in the evenings after the NYC shows on Joi‘s couch – the new host, Mademoiselle Agnes sums up the zeitgeist with great facility – and intentional humour.
- A musing on the tension between process and product when it comes to sewing, sent by Nathalie. Creators – are you a process person or a product person? I believe I am the former.
- Toronto-based label Modrobes, producer of the ubiquitous lounge pant of the 1990s, is back. A segment on the venture-capital TV show Dragon’s Den brought the label back from bankruptcy. I own a pair – a gift from my teenage boyfriend 11 years ago – and I am not ashamed to say I still wear them at home frequently – and they are still in remarkably good shape. An excellent investment, in my opinion.
- What to make of all the anxiety and envy over Tavi? All I can say today is never mind the fashion establishment, Tavi. They don’t deserve you, yet.
- Auntie Fashion discusses her own insider perspective on the evolution of Harper’s Bazaar in the wake of my tearsheet posts.
- Fashion-Incubator links to a complete download of a vintage fashion illustration book. The elaborate drafting technique for technicals seems to be based on a discomfort with drawing a naked-body template.
- Can’t believe I missed this – Toronto gets its own version of Fashion Week Daily.

Knitters ponder the process/product question all the time. We have quite a few on the process side; not surprising really, in a craft where a pair of socks can mean forty hours of work. I even have one friend who identifies as pre-process: she just loves to conceptualize a design, or match yarn to pattern, discuss the merits of various pattern mods, etc, etc.
Me? I’m a process person. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too slow to ever be product-oriented — if I were, I’d be the saddest product knitter in the world!
