I clearly remember someone showing me John Derian’s work about a decade ago, and I didn’t understand it at all. Then I remember wandering into his store in the east village a few years later, and becoming completely smitten with it. This video is wonderful, and Derian clearly utterly charming, though I do wish we got a clearer insight into how exactly he does run the business side of things… His acknowledgement that he’s baffled by financial matters is honest–and let’s face it, a common complaint from creative types. So what’s his solution to managing the need to remain focused on his passion and talent–and care for his staff and his flourishing business?
