LOSING THEIR COOL – TIBOR KALMAN
“Smoking is cool. Air Jordans are cool. Anything
with the Nike Swoosh on it is cool. Smashing
Pumpkins are cool. Absolut ads are cool.
Marlboros are cool. Kools are cool (and mentholated).

critical fashion accessory.”

florent – tibor kalman
not only florent was the soul of the meatpacking district, but it was also the best restaurant identity/graphic design in the city. designer tibor kalman traded food against graphic design with florent morellet, the owner of the restaurant and an eccentric figure of the neighborhood. the collaboration came out to be so great and witty that it lasted until kalman passed away in 99′. restaurants surely don’t look like that in the city anymore… by pp.
