Thoughts from designer Douglas Coupland and Roots Co-founder Michael Budman about embarking on a new collaboration for Roots, Roots x Douglas Coupland. Both speak about the effort to help define the Canadian identity for a new era.
It's just so interesting to watch aging Baby Boomers attempt to edify themselves through a connection to the arts. Not only does Michael Budman now get to be a [self-styled] 'thinker' and 'visionary' and 'Great Canadian', he also gets to sell more overpriced sweatshirts. Maybe they can get Jeanne Beker and Lloyd Robertson on board, too; or wrap it all up in a Hudson's Bay blanket...*zzzzzzz*....
