Sorry, Information Age - but we actually think we’re living in Photo Age. To paraphrase Miuccia Prada, your grid is “how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick.” This week, learn how Pinterest was turned into a $12 billion company based on pretty (vertical!!) photos; combine your sweat sesh with photo sesh at the totally Instagrammable Current Fitness. Also, drink some vino, connect with influencers and get some pro shots taken in NoHo, and update your cut & color for fall because heaven knows, it’s better to be ready. The upkeep is constant but admit it, you love it. Survival of the fittest - it’s on.
We can’t even remember what people did to imagine themselves living in a better apartment - or to plan their next #wanderlust trip - before Pinterest. One of the founders, Vikram Bhaskaran, talks about the mega site’s humble origins as a catalog app called Tote. Fascinating.
