The 40s and 50s. A man knew how to dress and keep sexy secrets just like John F. Kennedy and Mad Men’s Don Draper . The lining of these faithful reinterpretations of the famed peek-a-boo tie have their own secret agenda too, an artfully rendered pin up girl. Now Miss Feeney’s are making them new again. View the entire line here.
MOPOP is a celebration of everyday life: an archive of the artifacts, icons, items and obsessions that become the backdrop to our daily lives.
Where the art failed to spark dialogue or stir emotion, the artifact succeeded. On a level created by the people, for the people, of the people. Because the rumbling wasn’t just about Pez. It was about stories, connections, and memories. It was about the power of nostalgia. In that moment he knew that people craved a different kind of experience: An environment to showcase the pieces that evoke the unrivalled brand of enthusiasm reserved for matters of the heart, the past, or – quite simply – the supremely cool.
MARY-JO DIONNE WRITER The only thing writer Mary-Jo Dionne loves more than pens is the act of stealing them from hotels around the world. And the only thing she loves more than that bit of debauchery is, well, her collection of Boy George t-shirts, Law & Order re-runs, Bea Arthur, hoop earrings, chicklit, memories of watching Welcome Back Kotter with her mom, soy lattes, driving in her convertible Bug (his name is Doug), When Harry Met Sally (and anything by Nora Ephron), red shoes, animal rescue, her grandma's quilts, low-maintenance friendships, puffy stickers, puffy vests, the spirit of entrepreneurialism, Monopoly marathons (she's always the car), and the fact that she has every journal from the time she was 8 stacked chronologically in her office today. They're sitting next to an awfully large cup of pens.
