In 2002, co-founded The Tynt Press to release my book, How to be Fashionable or Consume Like Me. Available in artist-run boutiques including Paris’s Colette and Printed Matter in New York, How to be Fashionable garnered praise in Nylon, i-D, The Face and others. Large quantities were purchased by the marketing teams of Youth Intelligence, Levi’s and Nike, and the book’s imagery was loaned to luxury retailer Bergdorf Goodman for full-scale window design. Custom editions were commissioned by and printed for Beefeater and New York’s Thompson Hotel. How to be Fashionable’s influence spurred journalists from both the New York Times and Time to request comment on other fashion and cultural trends.
