NOVEMBER 2009

</p>

DO HOODS DEFINE A DECADE OR A MOMENT IN FASHION? 

THEY MIGHT BE DEFINING THIS ONE. I DOUBT WE'VE EVER SEEN AS MANY HOODS AS NOW. 

WHAT DO YOU LOVES BEST ABOUT A HOODIE? 

I LIKE THE SIMPLICITY AND UNIVERSAL APPLICATION. CHRIST WORE A HOOD. THE UNABOMBER WORE A HOOD. GRACE JONES WORE A HOOD. DANTE WORE A HOOD. 

IS IT A STAPLE IN YOUR OWN WARDROBE? 

I ONLY WEAR KNIT CAPS. MY HAIR IS MY HOOD. 

WHY ARE THEY SO POPULAR? 

I SUSPECT THAT THERE'S A NOMADIC ASSOCIATION THAT APPEALS TO A CULTURE THAT MIGHT BE FEELING A LITTLE OVERCONNECTED AND OVERSATURATED. 

WHAT DO YOU ASSOCIATE HOODIES WITH? 

DIETRICH IN 'THE GARDEN OF ALLAH' AND SNOOP DOGGY DOG. 

DO YOU PREFER A HOODIE WITH A ZIP OR WITHOUT A ZIP AND WHY?
