Melvin Davis In Vogue Magazine Feature

A great article and some interesting footage as part of the Shinola project on the link to Vogue on line below !

“Detroit’s full of characters,” says photographer Bruce Weber, who, eight years ago, corralled a sampling of the city’s talented eccentrics for a major photo portfolio for W magazine titled, "Welcome to Motor City." Now he’s shot and filmed an entirely new batch of wonderfully singular personalities from the city for Shinola, the growing watch and leather goods company aiming to revitalize manufacturing in Detroit.

That's really cool Rodney!! If I had a tattoo (can never see it though as they wouldn't look right on me) I would have Pure Detroit. PD is shop in Detroit selling purely Detroit made products where all the money goes back to the City. I loved the shop, and bought loads, and the name is simply beautiful
