Clifford Odets, 1935

Odets has been looked on by many as an icon of the American theatre. According to Arthur Miller, "An Odets play was awaited like news hot off the press, as though through him we would know what to think of ourselves and our prospects."

"Mikan Rule"

At 6’10’’ George Mikan was the first really dominant big man in professional basketball and the game’s first true star. He started wearing glasses when he was 12 with many telling him “that anyone who wore glasses could never be a great athlete”.

George Mikan was so dominant that he caused several rule changes in the NBA, among them, the introduction of the goaltending rule, the widening of the foul lane — known as the "Mikan Rule" — and the creation of the shot clock.

Would You Wear One Earring?

A single earring is starting to feel way more fashion-forward than "aging rocker" — and we're loving it. Think of it as the ultimate in minimalism (2 earrings....how gauche!!!). Plus, it's a total win-win for anyone who ever lost an earring and was too stubborn to toss the other. 

André Breton, French writer, poet, anarchist and anti-fascist.

He is known best as the founder of Surrealism. His writings include the first Surrealist Manifesto (Manifeste du surréalisme) of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism"

Brian Duffy 1965

Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy was one of the “Black Trinity”, as Norman Parkinson called them, who revolutionized fashion photography. But Duffy’s career was not limited to the fashion image: he shot ads, he did reportage and he created outstanding portraits like the one that became the cover of David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane, now part of costume, as well as music, history.
