It’s something worth considering.

Ever since I’ve been back from Tokyo I’ve been missing Sarah Colette grinning at me while I brush my teeth…

Who doesn’t want to wake up in a flat like this.

Starting next week, the first KNOTORYUS book, Face Everybody And Rule, will be available at Colette, Paris.

As you know, Colette makes a continuous selection of the best art, design and fashion from all over the world. They have helped artists like Nagi Noda, Kaws, So Me and many others reach a global audience. We are honoured to be on their list and in stock starting next week. (October 13).

You know where it’s at:

Rue Saint-Honoré 213

LGF: “On a personal note: Last week I was watching Lagerfeld Confidentiel (again), and there’s this great scene where Karl Lagerfeld arrives at his home to find about ten huge shopping bags full of Colette’s newest stock waiting at his doorstep. Apparently, he does this often to stay tuned to the best new stuff. It’s pretty funny to think that the next load for Karl might very possibly contain a KNOTORYUS book. Maybe ‘funny’ isn’t the right word. It kind of makes me feel like this:

Dee : (just fainted)

KNOTORYUS has several internets-brothers and sisters. But the baddest brother of them all is MONOBROW, the Amsterdam-based blog boss.

(He’s the one on the left.)

When he’s not hunting down the best sneakers, retro niceness or interviewing the best new names in music, he’s giving away two signed copies of FACE EVERYBODY AND RULE, the recently released KNOTORYUS book.

All you need to do, is mail the man and tell him why you deserve to win.

(Secret tip to increase your chances of getting your hands on a signed copy after the jump.)

More about the book.

TIP:

Want to increase your chances?

Include a mildly threatening picture of yourself in your mail.

Keep your eyes peeled for the MONOBROW Vs. KNOTORYUS T-shirt collab….

This ain’t over yet.

Aahhhh. Look at it, nestling nicely in between the best of current design and illustration. All you need to do now, is snatch it up.

Starting today (August 5 – 2008), FACE EVERYBODY AND RULE, the first official KNOTORYUS book, will be available at the awesome TOYKYO store in Ghent.

So here it is:

The DeepretendingnottoknowanythingaboutLGFinterview.

What’s the book about?

LGF: Photography, illustrations and ideas that came out as drawings.

When I first read the name, I thought you were Russian.

LGF: Haha. No. I see many twisted frowns when people try to read “KNOTORYUS” out loud. Thus far, only one guy ever got it right without even blinking. He was pretty fried, though. Maybe that’s what did it.

But you do have good taste?

LGF: Who says Russians don’t have good taste? Aside from borsjt, maybe. And those male ice-skaters with way too much cleavage. What’s up with that?

There’s a rather disturbing drawing of someone’s balls being served on a plate. They looked old. Who’s got old balls then?

LGF: It’s a play on the ‘revenge is a dish best served cold’ cliché. You can imagine those balls belong to your annoyingly successful ex-lover, your boss or that guy on TV who just won’t shut up. These KNOTORYUS balls are for you.

What’s the best time ‘o’ day to flick through FACE EVERYBODY AND RULE?

LGF: 3 A.M. After you’ve been lying awake for hours. Your eyes are burning and the back of your brain is buzzing like an old fridge. Flick through our book, turn off the lights and let it all sink in. Aaaaah…sweet dreams.
