This forth military jacket that created by Lu Jun in Guangzhou is especially good remake from the structure. One side (the longer side in the pictures) of the jacket is revert from inside. That’s what you see, the interior of the jacket is next to it’s exterior. I think the limitation of making design from existing design create another kind of freedom. Like this jacket, turning part of it inside out will not be easily thought of if we had started from fabric.
Currently we are looking for fashion designer and seamtress to work with us in San Francisco. If you are interested in what we are doing, please email me at lu@deerfang.org. Let your friends know about it or direct us to the right person to contact with. Thank you.

There are interesting feature articles on last issue’s Vice magazine on Chinese fashion bootleggers. The articles interview Chinese people in Europe, US and Asia who doing clothes business. Among them there are elder Chinese lady has store in Italy and sends orders to her factory in China; there are also younger Chinese who also produce goods professionally in China but make profit through online selling.
They are perhaps eventually the same business model but only the younger Chinese business dealer were not shame about their products are bootlegs of name brands.
Vice: So what do you sell?
Filip: Sweaters, jeans, jackets, and caps by Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club, Red Monkey, LRG, D-Squared, 10 Deep, and Artful Dodger.
Vice: And they’re all fake?
Filip: No, they’re replicas. I don’t like to use the word “fake,” because they’re made really well. The other day I heard that even satellites have “fake” Chinese parts in them. Nobody can tell the difference anymore. Same with my stuff.
Christo’s filming of his project at his garage perhaps is not long consider most of the short film projects, but I still felt long. Fortunately I was only the documentary person. Christo was not a very easy person to work with, from my breif encounter with him and from the responses of his team. This project as some of his other film I saw, he’s the main character.
Christo was sitting in a pool of blood while directing and acting he was in fear and pain. Prum, our cinematographer, at some point had to act he was killed and bitten by Christo. Ling, the last person on the team had to operate the heavy-duty HD camera by herself when Prum was “dead”.
I started documenting my colleges’ film/video producing process. Hopefully I can understand more about the social relationship and structure of film/video production crew.
