Blunder Years

"Trendy is the last stage before tacky."
—Karl Lagerfeld

Like the seminal 2017 Lank Press hit "Old Whites", this zine serves as a visual guide to the remarkably consistent fashion choices of a particular peer group. Here we turn that ever-critical lens inward and examine our own sole in "Blunder Years", a meditation on the popularity of a particularly comfortable Tasmanian boot amongst the patrons and exhibitors at a Maine zine fair.

All images gathered at Greene Block + Studios in Waterville, Maine. Fall, 2025.

Thanks to El K., Elm City Small Press Fest, Colby College and our unwitting models. Sorry, tried real hard not to dox anyone.

Note: In the spirit of full transparency and artistic integrity, I was also wearing a pair of Rustic Brown 10.5s that day. Hypocrisy rules, fight me.
