Malin Landeus
Malin Landeus, The renowned vintage queen, let Secta explore her Williamsburg archive and thrift store for the day,leaving us wanting to raid every studio 54 regulars closet.
Malin started her interest in vintage when she bought used clothing as a means of saving money, then after a stint working for an organic childrens clothing company, she made a vow to never again buy anything new unless she absolutely had to. After a quick monetary struggle, she started selling off her collection,which led to her opening up a store two years ago and then creating a vintage archive six months ago.

POLAROID A DAY
A man, Jamie Livingston, took a photo every day for 18 years, until his death in 1997. Incredible, and a testament to the polaroid format (RIP, little guy. Let's hope your factory gets up and running again soon!) You can see him on his death bed in the last polaroid put up-- haunting stuff. http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com/
IPSO FACTO
Ipso Facto is a UK-based band made up by Rosalie Cummings (lead singer and guitarist), Victoria Smith (drums) and Samantha Valentine (bass). Formed in 2007, their songs, sombre and sobering in its oft-pulsating beat, carry a real weight to them, the products of a rather early-90's prog-rock/goth-inflected aesthetic, given distinction in the strong, no-nonsense female vocals. But Ipso Facto is less prog than Portishead, more adventurous than that extremely limited Joy Division-esque sound. There are always limitations that come with the scene associated with a band-- did someone ever tell Paul Banks, "No, you can't just be Ian Curtis today and Robert Smith tomorrow?" No? Besides the convenience of the label, it is almost as if a restriction to any other sound--Ipso Facto manages to sit in these walls peacefully enough, but give themselves more than enough room to wiggle-- or dance.Perhaps it's helpful to see how Ipso Facto sees itself situated in the music genrified-gentrified world by who they hang out with: in 2008, they went on the road supporting The Last Shadow Puppets, Alex Turner's and Miles' Kane's pet project. Decidedly more noir and darker than the Puppets' military marches; at the same time, more given to lighten up and dance than their stiff male counterparts. No matter; whatever they do, these ladies aren't messing around.
Check out Ipso Facto's "You Don't Own Me" on their Myspace. Extra fun fact: Sandra Chi, collaborator on Secta's Autumn/Winter 09 collection, also did artwork for Ipso Facto. Her blog is here. Spread the love.

Taking what he had learned from the clothing manufacturing and combining it with his interest in movie special fx, Colin started to produce fiberglass figures and displays
