SPITGAN : Hi Nicole, where are you from? Where are you now?
Nicole Joyce : I grew up in Winnipeg, and I left the flat land and cold weather behind me. I moved to Vancouver, Canada, about 6 years ago for the creative opportunities and I have been out here ever since.
SG : Describe the creative space your designs come from. Paint a picture for us. What things inhabit this space?
NJ : My studio is the cozy dining room of my one bedroom apartment. It has a big window with a view of the mountains and maximum storage space. My desk is big enough to allow for fabric cutting, pattern drafting, or my flatbed knitting machine. The adjacent wall displays my collection of scissors and other cutting tools. My cupboards are constantly overflowing, but they are filled with possibilities.
SG : Why is fashion important to you?
NJ : Fashion is wearable art and self-expression. I love that it is a way to interact with handmade pieces and each person styles it in a way that makes it individual.
SG : What made you want to work in fashion?
NJ : It started with selfishness. I wanted beautiful garments that fit me properly, and I was raised with an “I could do that” attitude. Out of that selfishness came a desire to participate in the slow fashion movement and provide size inclusive, often unisex, garments.
SG : Name someone who has been a big influence on your work.
NJ : Laerke Bagger is a Danish knitwear designer that has a special place in my heart. She was one of the first knitwear designers I found that was pushing the traditional boundaries of what knitwear can be. She is unapologetic and silly with her art. She is best known for her use of beads in knit garments, and coloured scrap work.
SG : Fun, wit and humor are prevalent in your work. Talk about it please.
NJ : There is so much serious fashion out there, other designers are providing that service. I am doing what I do best. The more fun and ridiculous the project is, the more I want to work on it. I play with colour, texture, silhouette, and humour to make one of a kind pieces that I hope bring joy to my audience.
SG : Are you a fashion provocateur?
NJ : Maybe a small one! I want consumers and designers to stop and think about sustainability in their methods and materials, about size inclusivity, and about the ever increasing demands on creatives and garment workers to produce more seasons per year.
SG : How did you find the passion for knitting?
NJ : I can’t pinpoint exactly what started me knitting, but I taught myself off of YouTube in elementary school. After high school I picked it back up as a creative outlet and I have not stopped since. A fashion design program taught me all about sewing patterns, allowing me to explore how I could apply new shapes to knitwear. I haven’t gotten bored yet!
SG : Can fashion be art?
NJ : I believe that whole heartedly. I think that fibre art and traditional craft has not been given the recognition it deserves, partially due to the everyday nature of what clothing and textiles are. I hope to explore the boundaries of fashion history in art as I complete my Master’s degree in Art History.
SG : Can you introduce the fantastic piece in the first image to us? What is going on here?!
NJ : This sweater was part of a mini-collection that I created for a runway show inspired by coral. The whole collection contained bright colours with thick textures and shapes. This oversized sweater combines organic cables with crochet spirals of varying lengths made from reclaimed wool. There is asymmetry and volume to this design that creates the desire for movement.
SG : Tell us about these wild beanies, they are a signature look!
NJ : These are such a special project! They are a collaboration between Nick, of STR3AK, and I focused on knits meets basketball chic. They are larger than life with thick textured ribs and bold colours, making them an instant statement piece.
SG : What you got coming? Can you share?
NJ : I’m back in the design stage! What is interesting me right now is how I can add maximum texture to a draped garment.
SG : Tell the people where to find you!
NJ : You can find me on Instagram, @nic.joy.makes

SG : Describe your personal style.
Gaby : I describe my style as witchy punk. I like blending hard punky edges with soft touches like florals, blurring gender, black with splashes of bright color. Neon lights at night. Fashion is about expression for me. I’m shy so I let my style speak.
SG : What was the inspiration behind this wicked hair?
Gaby : My hair is part of the hard and soft desire in terms of cut—for the color I wanted it to look like a synthwave album cover.
Gaby wears her favorite leather jacket, neoprene bikini top from Wild Life Thrift Shop, and XL Hoop Earrings from Ame Accessories Republic.
SG : Tell us about this leather jacket piece!
Gaby : This jacket was a must have the moment I saw it. Tough guy leather with embroidered flowers and vines? Yes please. The double zipper is nice too.
SG : What makes a man attractive?
Gaby : I’m drawn to guys that are passionate and honest—fully themselves. If he can get excited, even goofy, about what he cares about? I swoon.
SG : Does Vancouver have fashion style?
Gaby : Vancouver has athletic wear and I notice a lot of Korean styles. I think it’s young and kind of confused for a city, not as defined and established as NYC or Pittsburgh. Due to this I find a lot of style here blends together so I get really excited when I see style that stands out.
Top : Gaby wears Mandarin Collar Vest from Wild Life Thrift Store, and XL Hoop Earrings from Ame Accessories Republic.
Bottom : Gaby wears Supreme Court Tee from STR3AK Clothing, and XL Hoop Earrings from Ame Accessories Republic.
SG : When this world rights itself, where is the first place you would go?
Gaby : Besides seeing family back in Jersey I’ve been wanting to go to the Philippines for a while now.
SG : Tell us about a person that inspires your work creatively.
Gaby : I’m torn between saying Satoshi Kon or Guillermo del Toro. Both have such intense and beautiful visions, I aspire to storytelling at their levels.
SG : What are 3 bands/musicians you are listening to right now?
Gaby : I’ve been listening to a lot of Glass Animals, All Them Witches, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Top Left : Gaby wears her favorite leather jacket, and Streetball Tie Dye Cap from STR3AK Clothing.

SPITGAN : Is Hip Hop a touch point? We notice you also hit up walls here and there.
Rika : I love street culture. I met some graffiti artists years ago who got me into it, and I’m mostly a visual artist but as with most other things, there are parallels to music and art, and some find each other in the same places. There’s a lot of hip hop that I was introduced to and came to know through graffiti, same way I’ve come to learn about other artists through music.
SPITGAN : I feel looking at your work there are common elements to it regardless of medium. Tell us about this world. To me I see splashes of fun, attitude, mischief…
Rika : Haha it’s some sort of reflection of who I am, how I’m responding to life. Growing up, being an adult, you’re told to get serious, and sometimes it’s a little too serious… it’s maybe my personal rebellion to all of that.
SPITGAN : We have followed your tattoo journey from newbie to commissions on your IG account. How has your seifu pushed you and helped you grow your style? How was it doing your first tattoo on yourself?
Rika : So my mentor Jacob Tang, he’s always let me explore everything on my own, but he would pull me a little bit back when I get too ahead of myself, especially with tattooing there is so much patience and mindfulness involved. Of all the things he taught me, it’s having the right attitude and approach to the work that really made all the difference. The first tattoo that I’ve ever done on anyone was on myself, but it was mostly to experience and learn the step by step process of how a tattoo is done. Tattooing someone else for the first time was completely different, I was so nervous haha.
SPITGAN : How does Hong Kong inspire and affect your work?
Rika : Right now, I actually like living here. Hong Kong is a very organized city that works the way it does, because it does. It can be challenging as an artist because our work develops and thrives more in less controlled environments... Adjusting to this without compromising what we do teaches me a lot about balance and staying focused. You develop a certain kind of sharpness over time that I don't think I would've been able to appreciate anywhere else. And it definitely inspires me to constantly find ways to improve!

2020年庚子年。
在我的記憶中,2020是一個代表未來的符號。它代表未知和幻想,電影裡的2020都是天馬行空的科幻世界。然而,2020已經來到現實了,電影中的飛船還未有,這世界不過是多了部Iphone 11 max。2020年似乎是特別的一年,我們送別了上一個十年踏入「20後」年代。地支也回到子鼠年,應該是個重新出發的好時候。歡迎進入2020,你的未來。新年快樂。
It's nearly Chinese New Year 2020, The Year of the Rat. The Rat is the first sign from the 12 animals cycle of the Chinese Astrology, and for this reason, 2020 is considered a year of new beginnings and renewals. (Quoted from : https://www.thechinesezodiac.org/horoscope-2020/)
You know Chinese New Year is the King of Kings holiday and there are a bunch of fun greetings, blessings, and traditions that peeps enjoy during this time.
We decided to make a stylish set of fashion posters highlighting some of the greetings for ya'll! Check the captions below each image to understand each phrase. For added flavor we give you some literal translations so you understand the play on words of the clever Chinese!

現在的你,歲月安好、現世安穩。
那記憶中的你,
有時安靜得像個啞巴、
有時卻頑皮得像個魔鬼。
我懷念腦海中那個不常笑的你,
我記得每個哄得你捧腹大笑的瞬間。
曾經一個我,
曾經一個你。
曾經那麼刻骨銘心的相遇,
到如今,
我們都學會了從容安靜,
學會了耕雲種月。
只是當寂寞來臨的時候,
我依然想穿過那似血的痕跡,
去追尋那些我解不開的謎底。
或者,
我不應該去追問是誰先別離,
時間過得太久,
我還是要學會忘記。

You up on the latest coming out of the Korean music scene right now? The hottest thing to bubble from the underground is SY, the sexy lead singer of the Korean Nu-Goth rave group, Orange Krush. They hit the charts in July, with the criminally slept on, dark dance floor hit, ‘You’re Nothing to Me’, and have just released the racey video for the single, “Girls Kiss Better”, that was banned from TV! Think of a Billie Eilish cross with Marilyn Manson. We check in with SY to see if this Queen Bxtch is for real and shoot her down in the latest FW19 fashions from international brands and Hong Kong designers on the come up, Jasmine Leung and STR3AK Clothing! Get you some!
如果你喜歡K-pop,一定有留意到最近從地下冒起來的黑暗搖滾組合,Orange Krush的性感主音SY。這個號稱混合Marilyn Manson和Billy Eilish的SY一推出最新音樂專輯’You’re Nothing to Me’,便成功登上7月的排行榜。你以為上到榜就好威?實際上頑皮反叛的她一發行的單曲”Girls Kiss Better”MV,即被電視台禁止播放!她強烈的風格似乎讓人敬而遠之。今日我們與SY合作,展示香港本地牌子Jasmine Leung 、STR3AK Clothing及其他國際大牌子最新的FW19系列。就看看她是否名符其實的Queen Bxtch。

…If fortune favors the bold then Guido’s satorial senses brought him a few opportunities. Opportunities which he promptly messed up. A hustle involving importing fakes and flipping them for a pretty penny would be his eventual downfall. Not know for patience, Guido skimmed profits off the top and spent lavishly on the high life. Living beyond his means, thinking he was untouchable, the lesson, when it came was a hard knock one. One that Guido did not survive. Of 6 million stories, a tragic tale from SPITGAN Magazine.

Guido. A petty crook from Fort Lauderdale. A misguided admirer of local mafiosos, he fashions himself after larger-than-life TV characters. Guido spends more time in front of the TV dreaming of ‘that Life’, than learning the rules of the streets and crafts of the trade. Never developing the work ethic or the favor of luck to realize his goals, Guido, a petty schemer, only has the taste to look the part. If fortune favors the bold then…

About the Exhibition “City of Light” 城市之光
“城市之光”透過香港招牌的獨特美態,襯托著這個不眠之都。 在1970s黃金時代,五光十色的霓虹招牌, 透過不同的字體、圖像元素組成的視覺文化, 代表了香港的不同階層和行業,每個招牌都包含著這個城市背後的故事。過去十多年,香港霓虹招牌的數目持續下降。在我們的作品中,希望將曾經驕傲的"光" 再次讓我們了解這個城市背後的故事
"Light of City" shows the unique beauty of Hong Kong's neon light, as well as the sleepless urban culture. During the era of golden age, colorful neon signs started booming in the 1970s. The horizontal and vertical neon signs has become the visual culture, representing wide range of industries and forming a neighborhood landmark. Each signboard contains the story behind the city. The number of neon signboards in Hong Kong has continued to decline over the past decade. In our work, we hope to brings the visual to modern age that we were once proudly of.

上年一個頗寒冷的夜晚,我們參加了一個在上海的時尚派對,看看Ratpack的新系列。這是一個超奇怪的空間,有個浴缸、啤酒雪櫃、一缸的Party Juice…就似一個親密朋友間的聚會,很Chill的一種能量流動和穿過整個場地。當然Ratpack的新男女裝系列才是主角。從量身定制的產品到精緻的牛仔,他們的DNA一部分是那種Stree/運動衫的原素,另一部分是成衣。看來他們最忠誠的粉絲和主幹成員的生活樂趣頗健康的,什至有幾勺調刺。這絕對是個很棒的夜晚!什麼用了我們的編輯做model,what a good idea!
On a cold night last fall we went to join the fashionable set in Shanghai to check out Ratpack’s new collection. It was an intimate affair in a quirky space complete with tub, extensive beer fridge, and ominous pitcher o’ party juice! Really it was a gathering of intimate friends, and it had a real chill vibe and flow of peeps passing through and enjoying the company. The undertone of it all was of course Ratpack’s new collection of both men’s and women’s pieces. From tailored offerings to sheered denim’s, Ratpack’s DNA is part street/sportwear, part pret-a-porter. Clearly their ardent fans and core like a healthy dose of fun in their life and a few spoons of sarcasm to boot! It was a great night! Even roped a certain editor of ours to model. Good idea.
