✲ Drop City ✲

Drop City was a community that took place in Colorado from 1965-1973. It was founded by a group of artists who wanted to rebel and explore communal and sustainable living. The domes were made of 2x4's, bottle caps, and car tops. The invasion of drugs, bikers, and violence led to the world's first geodesic ghost town.

Find Your Moral Compass by All That Remains lookbook featuring Nathalie Kelley. 

"With man-made creations as far as the eye can see, All That Remains stands tall with the creation of something personal.
'FIND YOUR MORAL COMPASS' is a discovery of ones true self, falling away from the grids & patterns of society, where the skies are filled with entire galaxies and man still creates with his hands."

At the premiere I wore my vintage rainbow penis dress and was in awe over Elena Stonaker's embroidered sculpture.

Lately I've been listening to Dorothy Ashby records and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew which leads me to the amazing psychedelic art of Mati Klarwein. He developed his technique with the guidance of Fernand Léger and Ernst Fuchs. As his work evolved so did his friendships with legends such as Salvador Dali, Jimi Hendrix, and Timothy Leary. Mati left us an open window through which we can still gaze in wonder.
