GRAFFITI PORTRAIT OF Z-ROK
Z-Rok is a graffiti artist and style writer since 1983 – and the portrait feature of the year with a Denim Jacket by hamansutra.
Guest director for new commissions for my long-standing graffiti colleague from Munich, Z-Rok. hamansutra has known Z-Rok since the late 1980s. I visited him in his studio and followed him while they worked, to feature him for my Denim Line. When I have the funds, I plan to invest in them and create a story around them to expand my art collection. Buy artworks while the artist’s still alive! Once they’re dead they don’t get the benefit – but investors and dealers suddenly crawl out of the woodwork, coughing up vastly inflated sums for the works. Artists need the money while they’re alive. Debt weights heavy on an artist’s soul. No money for food? Welcome to the mass grave. When artists are the target of aggressive lectures from cliched officialdom, they react by rebelling, which is often reflected in their art. Bureaucracy may have its uses and its place, but artists see bureaucrats as nothing more than enemies of humanity. All part of government strategy; for the people that carry it out, it’s the great extinguisher of every spark of life’s joy. The legal mafia that is government has managed to brainwash those people into practising state sanctioned terrorism with letters, house visits and fines. Want to know why some artists never broke big? It’s because you – yes, you – never bought their works. If I invest in the music industry as a DJ with a 30-year career, the success of the artists I play is just as much down to my input as an individual. I’m the marketing ambassador that helps to sell their music when I play it in clubs. Shazam to the left, shazam to the right! But the other side of that is the responsibility I feel when artists crash and burn, or fall prey to a cocktail of drugs. If you don’t invest in them, you share the responsibility for their downfall. Sure, there are artists that deserve more, and the ones who can’t handle a quick rise to fame. When banks stop paying interest, investors suddenly start shelling out vast sums for art with the aim of selling it on later at a profit. Nothing to see here. Everyone plays along. Once that happens, the system has succeeded in turning art into an asset, no more than a stock holding. The investors don’t care because they have no idea about art, except as a thing where millionaires can invest millions and end up as billionaires. Such high-flying hype, and such a steep, steep fall. May all you ignorant, arrogant, unscrupulous, inhuman, egoistical Scrooge McDuck capitalists rot in hell.

BEATS BREAKS AND BOOTS
RTW Menswear and Womenswear 2021 / 2022
hamansutra’s latest clothing atmosphere takes its inspiration from a former military barracks. In the days when ground infantry was stationed in German cities, headshaking amounts of special planning permissions were issued for the premises they needed. Timeless and seasonal products by hamansutra include denim uniforms, basketball suits, caps, crew shirts and boots. hamansutra has also been inspired by the corrugated iron huts that were used to house men and machinery. This corrugated iron and container architecture can still be found today, and is reflected in the interior of hamansutra’s studio. The clothing is presented in original style on simple wooden shelves, carefully crafted replicas of the originals. The atmosphere is one of scrupulous tidiness – before the sirens sounded.
Because Beats, Breaks and Boots brings people together…

The sewing machine company and designer share the philosophy:
“Standard of Excellence + Quality = Never on Sale”
Length fittings are in Munich by appointment, all jeans shortened to your length. These jeans I’m working on now are available in Japanese Denim 16oz denim. All my jeans follow the shrink-to-fit philosophy, meaning the fabric can shrink up to 10%. I’ve drawn up a great user manual to guide you – follow these instructions and treat your pants right, and you’ll get up to 20 years of pleasure out of them. You can also email me your pants size and I’ll send the jeans anywhere in the world. I want to say something about the Japanese denims I use. The fabric is fantastic and will make you feel as strong and invincible as 16th-century Samurai knights in armour. Did you know they wore undershirts and underwear that had been indigo-dyed, because indigo protects the skin from bacteria? All my Japanese denim is selvedge denim, still made in the original way on small looms so that nothing is wasted in cutting. So, that’s the latest news about my jeans. Labels made out of calf leather, denim from Japan and Cooper Buttons from Paris. Our products are made by the best specialist manufacturers.

BEKLEIDUNGSWERKE
Clothing works + Hot War = Pure performance
Germany’s tailoring and textile industries used to be world class – especially their engineering. And the way people dressed. Yep, the personalities from way back then are what we’re missing today. In-depth anatomy studies and life drawings were paramount in producing patterns of mathematical accuracy. These clothing items are still copied today. And let’s not even start on military clothing. Today, Germany’s clothing industry has lost it. They don’t want to get their fingers dirty, I guess. What’s that you ask? What are all those sewing machines for? A man at a Singer sewing machine is like a woman on a Harley Davidson? Sneers like that only prove just who’s responsible for the decline of tailoring and for its dusty image. When people like that try to talk tailoring to me, I take the greatest pleasure in reducing them to matchwood. The finest German machines and the tailoring heritage were sold abroad for a pittance. Generation after generation abandoned the art of tailoring. The catastrophic result? Tailors that look like accountants. Not a spark of fashion awareness anywhere you look. But don’t you worry – all your agencies will be bankrupt soon enough.
Advertising agencies + hot air = earning your money.
