Rent the Knorts: Q&A with Chef Camila Casanas
by Leonidas Agnes What are your thoughts on ownership, in particular when it relates to clothing? Rentals are HUGE in the food world, especially catering and events. Which to me, makes a lot of sense. We live in a world where “single use” items rule marketplaces, so the idea of rentals just makes sense from a sustainability perspective. There’s a lot of people who buy pieces for events and return them and...
Knorts Hangout with Yung Kazi
by Leonidas Agnes For our last Knorts Hangout, we had the pleasure of hosting local artist, Yung Kazi, and his friends at the studio. Not only was his performance an absolute five stars, but the vibes he and his friends filled the party with also couldn't have been more perfect and fun! If you didn't make it out, you totally missed out...sorry, not sorry. We particularly wanted to collaborate with Yung Kazi because of his multidimensional artistic abilities. He's obviously a master at creating music we want to keep on repeat, but he is also a very talented claymation artist (a new...
Having a Fit: Hot Girl Summer
As soon as I try the shorts on I start twerking. I’m talking hands on my knees, arch in my back, wyling in my bathroom mirror, type of shit.

Having a Fit: In Those Jeans
Stories of Sex, Intimacy and Denim. The first night I’d arrived in his city the transition from “It’s really good to see you” small-talk, to let’s get it poppin was fluid. It was an early night in late summer; YG had just been kicked off a plane for being drunk and disorderly, and we were watching it all play out on the Shaderoom, laughing. I was sitting on his bed in a pair of high-waisted flares, he was across the room in something dark-washed and a little baggy, lighting incense. We looked at each other for a moment, and just like that,...
Having a Fit: Genes
by Tierney Finster A personal recount of how genes affected Tierney’s relationship with jeans. My mother and I have similar bodies. During the late 1960s, she was thirty pounds “overweight” for her age demographic…
Having a Fit: Ms. New Booty
On Catcalls, Rocawear, and the Search for Curve-Friendly Denim. I was thirteen when Ms. Jacqui told me the news, “You a got a little booty on you, Glynn,” she said. A family friend who worked in finance, wore shiny red acrylics and kept her hair buzzed real low for ease, Ms. Jacqui was straight no chaser. She was known to tell you some real shit…
