Selected Project
Jack Spade / Collection Catalogue
To launch a suiting collection developed with Southwick tailors, Jack Spade created this catalogue featuring creative director JP Williams and his many collections. JP and I are long-time collaborators and I also edit his blog, amass, so the interview copy here reflects my understanding of his aesthetic and our fluid communication.

“A collection often begins with just one object”
In the catalogue, JP Williams wears Jack Spade suits, but the copy focuses on his personal theories about collecting.
“To the educated designer, each of these shapes must reveal its necessary purpose.”
Among the eclectic collections featured are pumpkin stems, calligraphy pens and vintage pencil sharpeners.
