B-Mailio: Lookbook, Evo Report, BTS, Playlist, and Moodboard.
01 — The Evolution Report
116 products: 21 of 'em brand new silhouettes, 13 dearly beloveds from a past life, and 6 fabric systems that didn't exist a year ago. Eleven months of ear to the ground listening, tweaking (designs), and big trustin' the process. Her favorite thing to do in the entire world, Ardith #blessed us with another Youtube collection walk-through. Come for the Agnes Martin inspo, stay for the new shear waffle boi...
Evo Report
02 — Lookbook
Warning: No digital cameras were used in the making of this lookbook. 122 rolls of good 'ol fashioned Portra 400 from all around Uptown, Midtown, Downtown, the Bronx, Ridgewood, Woodhaven, and Bed-Stuy. Lotta ground covered, lotta downsteps captured, lotta folks asking 'what's this for?' Wouldn't wanna do it anywhere else. The greatest city there ever was.

03 — Behind The Scenes
Gave the BTS keys to Tatum for this B-Mail and she went absolutely berserk. And by berserk, we mean she managed to sneak in her insane obsession with AI videos of dogs racing cars... and caught all of us lackin' hard on set. Henry got it the worst, but we will remember this T-money. Revenge is a dish best served in a newsletter out to the entire community. Stay tuned. The lion will speak.
Take a Peek
04 — Playlist
Fun fact: the Waffle House jukebox contains original songs about Waffle House, which is the correct level of commitment to a soundtrack. We could hand this off to a robot and have it done lickety-split, but we run this house a little more Tom Forkner and a little less Claude. Forkner co-founded Waffle House, which we know because we asked a robot. Good for trivia. Bad for vibes. Knows every song in existence and has felt none of them.

05 — Mood Board
Less is more, said Mies van der Rohe, who again, low key never had to write the B-Mail. Ardith started pinning her wall of inspirational imagery 11 months ago and like some possessed design sponge (we're a brillo family btw), soaked it in and translated it into an entire collection. See the art, architecture, design, and vintage runway that influenced the season.
Get MoodyAudrey Werro and Keely Hodgkinson built the 800m rivalry track needed. The Jony Ive Ferrari sold for $40 million at auction, a new record.

Brussels carpeted its Grand-Place with 750,000 dahlias honoring Hokusai. This is an insane new retail store in Soho. How Bourdain became the new Elvis.
