I agree with Grace. Though I like the idea of printing physical settings on fabric, I really am sick of this “homeless chic” look going on in the design and fashion worlds right now. For example: http://blogs.fashionweekdaily.com/?p=18480

It’s really an ignorant and bourgeois way to pretend that you are doing something to alleviate or draw attention to homelessness, while really doing nothing but indulging your own desires for consumerist rubbish.

Wow – I like this!
I’m a photographer that is currently working on a project with youth agencies and shelters. I work and volunteer at local shelters whenever i get a chance!
Oh, i am Liberal and i don’t compost…

what ever happened to ‘every little bit helps’.

Anyways, everyone is allowed to voice their own opinion that’s why the net is cool.

I rate this high and i might even buy! (hey that rhymes)

I like it, I don’t think it is a cop out at all. Very cool.

I think the irony in selling sheets printed in cardboard and declaring that it helps a homeless person is so steeped in bullshit that it’s reminiscent of GAP and its product(red) campaign. Who would want to pretend they’re sleeping on cardboard and if they would, do they have a conscience?! There are hundreds of _real_ ways to help the homeless like directly giving homeless people food, volunteering at a shelter, advocating changes in legislature for different tax money allocations, etc. Besides, 30% of profits is such a cop-out it’s like saying “I’m liberal because I compost.”
