In our anticipation for Pinups L.A. release party for issue No.14, on May 7^th @ Peep Show Gallery, Pinups creator Christopher Schulz sat down with Sean Yashar for a little game called “If Design Were …”

Let’s get into Christopher’s head, shall we:

 

SY: If design were an object?

CS: A vinyl record.

 

SY: …a song?

CS: Something by the likes of Pulp—some kitchen sink drama with the glamour of disco.

 

SY: … a film?

CS: Blue by Derek Jarman.

 

SY: …a memory?

CS: Childhood road trips.

 

SY: …a moment?

CS: The peak of anticipation.

 

SY: …an era?

CS: I’ve always been in love with the aesthetic leftovers of the late 1960s and 1970s.

 

SY: …a place?

CS: The Sonoran Desert.

 

SY: …a time of day?

CS: Depends on the desired lighting. Sunrise/Sunset.

 

SY: …a Person?

CS: Grace Jones

 

SY: …an animal?

CS: A Shiba Inu—so perfect!

 

SY: …a city?

CS: All the cities that I have yet to visit.

 

SY: …a food?

CS: Nutella

 

SY: …a fetish?

CS: Design IS a fetish—the ultimate fetish.
