Were you milk fed when you were a baby? Either natural breast milk or formula, chances are, you did. Humans, as well as mammals in the animal kingdom, were milk fed when they were infants.

But the real question is. Are you currently milk fed in style?

MILKFED. or Milk Fed is a Japanese fashion brand created by American screenwriter, film director and producer, Sofia Coppola in 1994. The label is focused on womenswear with petite or small/extra small sizes. Sofia Coppola is the daughter of one of Hollywood’s most innovative and influential film directors, Francis Ford Coppola. She interned with Karl Lagerfeld at the french fashion house Chanel. After a stint with X-girl, she launched her own brand, MILKFED. with Stephanie Hayman and Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.

MILKFED.‘s style is a mixture of 1970s-80s Pop culture to classic American casual with a small dash of quirkiness on the side. The products are available at Coppola owned Heaven27 boutiques, international dealers and online stores such as calif and ZoZoTown.

How to Dry Corn. To save for a rainy day or to provide nutrition during times of trouble, drying various meats, fruits and vegetables have been done for centuries. The best way of drying corn is on the cob using a modern oven. Dried corn can then be rehydrated for soups, popped on the cob or used as decorative elements.

DRYKORN, on the other hand, is a Kitzingen, Germany-based label known for its metropolitan, reachable and progressive styles which exudes a certain cool snobbish edge. The brand’s 70s luxury, preppy chic wardrobe and greaser rock & roll biker looks have grabbed the attention of media and fashionistas worldwide.

“Ijin” is an antique Japanese word once used to define someone as an outsider, stranger, foreigner, black sheep, alien or sometimes hero.

St. Martins, London alumnus, Philip Goss is the founder and creative director of Ijin Material. Established in 2003, this original and independent artisan denim label is based in a workshop in Italy. 3 years back, Philip Goss was the Creative Director of Evisu and took the brand on to a global platform. Interestingly enough, he earned the affectionate moniker “henna ijin” or “crazy foreigner” from Evisu founder, Yamane-san.

Ijin Material‘s philosophy follows the On Ko Chi Shin principle which means to respect the past in order to create the new or examine and learn that of the past and create new knowledge, experiences and opinion thereafter. The individualism of Ijin Material is trademarked by its signature paper chain “half man” logo representing the symmetry of folding techniques in their products. By respecting traditions, the brand creates new and innovative ways and designs using top quality vintage raw Japanese selvedge denim shuttle loom fabrics, well crafted artisanal Italian “slow-denim” production and Philip Goss’ unique approach to style and modernity.

3 principal cutting techniques make Ijin Material distinct from other jeans in the market today. The Foldedge-Cut leg cuts the garment in an open legged manner and centered on the stronger warp thread. This way the legs collapse naturally around the knee when worn from dry. It becomes a personal body map where the natural aging process or seasoning happens for the denim.

The 2nd technique is the Wrapleg-Cut which cuts the cloth with a straight and folded outer leg in one piece. They have a clean finish hem & inseam and a subtle outseam. A hip dart forms the yoke and shapes across the back of the garment.

Finally, the Artisan-Cut is an homage to a long tradition of selvedge denim craftsmanship. A low tension old loom is used such as to wear it from dry and obtain an authentic imprint on the body for as long as possible. Vintage details are enhanced with extra wide selvedge or the Ijin diamond head sewn rivets or even the trademark Ijin Sixth pocket.
