P O U R


Holton Rower's pour paintings at our neighbor The Hole are visually insane. Created from pouring little coffee cups of paint, the painting is in organic development until the last cup is poured and the paint, almost like a living thing, stops wherever it stops and dries. 

The amount of paint (a lot - these works are massive and could take up an entire wall and, in some cases, floor), the hues (bright, dark, metallic, matte, glossy), the order, the manner and speed of pouring are all controlled, but the rest is up to destiny. Jagged tie-dye-like patterns, cracks, droops and bumps occur during the formation and, up close, all these things in a butt load of colors combine to blow your mind. 

There is something very exciting watching the gooey, viscous, slow-moving process happen. So you should watch it at The Hole's blog, then see the end result at 312 Bowery.

There are a bijillion colors in this one. We counted.

Why Designer Rogan Gregory Will Only Wear His Own Denim
rogan_MG_4920600x900

Name: 
Rogan Gregory

Occupation:
Designer

What were your first pair of jeans?
"Besides the Levi's I wore since I was a little kid, I got a pair of shrink-to-fit selvage Omnigods 15 years ago that changed my life."

What are you wearing?
"A new and improved eight-pocket version of same flatfront denim style I designed five years ago. I've been perfecting the fit and functionality of this pant for years... The only thing I'd rather wear is a pair of board shorts in the ocean."

How many pairs of jeans do you own?
"Hundreds."

Do you have a preferred philosophy when it comes to jeans: Sexy and skinny, or loose and comfy? 
"Funnel-shaped."

Used or new?
"Both."

What's your signature wash...or does it matter?
"Never wash."

If your jeans had a name or theme song, what would it be? Or do they?
"Richard Sera."

Favorite example of celebrity-jean wearing (i.e., Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA album cover). 
"MC Hammer."

What do you love most about your favorite denim pieces? 
"To clarify...I wear what I design, but I can't resist collecting denim and other related indigo pieces. I have piles of vintage workwear kimonos and Amish workwear filling my closet to the brim."
