The Pleasures of Vintage

Recently a certain expensive tie brand has come to the attention of the blaggerocracy offering the novelty of new ties made out of vintage tie fabrics Unfortunately, the vintage tie patterns involved appear to be the ones we would have flipped through and left hanging in our fathers’ closets years ago. I can understand that in classic clothing, the old has a cachet that can’t easily be explained rationally. Things made in the old manner, such as with ancient madder dyeing or hand block printing, or with old-style materials, like Geelong lambswool, strike a chord with those of us who still half-believe in some lost Arcadia of quality. However, rather than pay a top-drawer new tie price for the supposed glories of the old, I suggest investing, judiciously, in the pleasures of vintage.

Canadian Museum for Human Rights

We were in Winnipeg last weekend, so of course we had to go check on the progress of the new Canadian Museum for Human Rights building. As the photos below will attest, the exterior is essentially complete, with landscaping work proceeding at full tilt. According to the museum's website, inauguration is slated to happen sometime next year.

Here's a link to the museum's official webpage explaining the symbolism of the building's forms. It's design is by noted American architect Antoine Predock, winner of a 2003 competition for the facility's design.
 
This building is not yet universally loved by the fine folks of Winnipeg...what's your opinion?
