Patreon Preview from Blamo!It’s a new episode of Die, Workwear with Derek Guy and Peter Zottolo.A lot of guys who are into menswear nowadays get into the hobby through shoes — and with that, learning how to take care of their newly acquired purchases. Shoe shining, in particular, can be therapeutic for today's keyboard class. But historically, it was a rough trade taken up by orphans, newly arrived immigrants, and the most marginalized in society.Peter and Derek talk about the history of shoe shining, and how it moved from what was widely considered a lowly profession to now an elevated craft with global competitions and boutique French products.Plus, as always, a nice serving of “Hey, Nice Pants!”**Listen to the entire episode on the Blamo!

Nur Abbas (gnuhr) talks PARSEL and design
This week on Blamo!, we’re joined by a true designer’s designer: Nur Abbas. Nur is based in Portland, Oregon, and his résumé reads like a tour through every corner of modern fashion. He’s designed for Margiela, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton; worked alongside Christophe Lemaire on UniqloU; served as Design Director for Nike ACG; and even did a stint at Yeezy.What struck me most in our conversation is how seamlessly he’s moved between worlds—ultra-luxury houses and global, accessible brands—and how much they actually have in common. Nur has a rare perspective on what ties them together and what separates them.We dive into his design studio, Onlylight; his new project, Parsel; gorp culture and the legacy of Nike ACG; why it’s always the person—not the clothes—that makes a fit; and how the best design is almost always a team sport.PARSELgnuhr*Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
