(we are an online store)
This is where I grew up.
I decided to curate a zine to go with the packaging of our shop when it opened in September 2010, which was actually probably the part about this concept that I had the most fun with. I asked our creative directors to create a scene that could capture the place I had grown up in - with a bit of Gotham City thrown in there. Needless to say, my art director Cristina Mackay Sim did an incredible job capturing my vision.
The only outcome that is guaranteed is the fact that it will end. Everything else is unspoken for, undeveloped, unattained. Sometimes unwelcome. Preferably unexpected. How will you bow at the curtain call? Will you have given your best performance? Will your finale be remembered, not by those who watched, but by those who cared? Or were you focusing on the wrong audience, all along? Will YOU want to remember? But now, the future is blind. Nobody can tell you otherwise. All you can do is act.
Zine Poem One
Jonathan Zawada for Final Episode. The curtain made out of this design is now hanging in our little office.
She can feel the eyes gaze upon her But she’s not really sure why they’re there And truth be told, she doesn’t care Although she could hold them if she felt so inclined And hold the great inquisition in her stare Without a flinch, and certainly no glimmer Because what would be the point? It is the fleeting trivialities that bore her most And so she pays them no attention Her own mind needs her attention For it is what has created the world she knows But for now, there is a moment to be lived And so she sits… and watches
Zine Poem Two
The front and back cover, which folded in half and created something AWESOME.
Final lines, Final episodes.

An artwork from our September 2010 launch event, which also featured Jonathan Zawada, Lyn & Tony, Canvas Group and a special styling of Final Episode goods by the exquisite Maia Liakos.
So we were sitting around on this Saturday, enjoying the sun and whathaveyou, when we thought, you know what? We want to do something cool. It was in this spirit that we decided to have a sale, and we went ahead and reduced heaps of awesome accessories by heaps of awesome designers, including Deadly Ponies, Pamela Love, Elke Kramer, Natalia Brilli, Heavy Machine, Opening Ceremony, Strummer, and let’s not forget our eyewear sale (Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, Dries van Noten) or our Camilla Skovgaard sale, or our Borba Margo sale. We’re changing our direction next month, so it’s all rather fitting, don’t you think?
We hope you can give yourself something nice, because after all, you’re pretty awesome.
It’s kind of how we view the world today, anyway.
Jeremy Scott, you’re a bit of a genius.
Heavy metal belongs ON your ears, not surrounding them.
