This weekend I went to the opening event for the LATrE exhibition being held at Mjolk. Mjolk is one of my favourite stores in Toronto. The owners, Julie and John, sell a beautifully curated collection of Japanese and Scandinavian design items. LATrE was showing a collection of dead stock military clothing that had been given new life through indigo dying. I have been experimenting with indigo dying myself and seeing his work really inspired me to get back into it and experiment with different textiles and textures.
While I was in the store I took the opportunity to buy volume two of Mjolk's self titled publication. I couldn't wait to get home to make myself a cup of tea and spend a couple of hours escaping into it's pages. It is a very thoughtful collection of interviews and images mostly of artists and their work places.
