The Fashion of ‘Fusion Project’

There is something about performance, the wait for it to begin, the anticipation of the climactic event, and the audience interaction, all of which cannot be replicated in the environment of the still visual art exhibit.

Wicker Park Hipsters

The hipsters live in Wicker Park–everybody says so. You see the signs of them, the boutiques selling zoot suits in the window and the coffee shops that people go to late at night when they have a bohemian urge.

In fact, most hipsters probably don’t shop in Wicker Park, and plenty of the customers at Filter wear J.Crew outfits; they go there because the coffee’s good and they probably have a crush on one or another of the hipster employees. I’m pretty sure they’re legitimate, but I suspect that they don’t live in Wicker Park.
