One of Amsterdam's busiest shopping streets, you'll find a clothing store that is redefining what craftsmanship means. This store is applied art forms, and it's run by founder and creative director, Guy Berryman, who you might also know from a little band called Coldplay. What began as a a creative project has turned into a full fledged brand dedicated to researching vintage fabrics and military garments. It's so clear to see the intentionality behind each product. Like this 150 year old Japanese burrow fabric that they turned into a jacket or this emergency yellow mountain parka modeled after some of the early twentieth century expedition trips. Best to the rows of garments, you'll find a wall full of vinyl and a fully custom sound system that is simply another example of the intentionality and level of detail the guy puts into everything he makes. Some tote bags made out of spare military parachute fabric, jewelry that symbolizes the hospital tags you've given at the beginning and end of your life. I realized that applied art forms is way more than just the product. It's a reminder that we're all transient, that what we have is temporary. And in order to see the future, you have to study the past.
