This is Joe Faris. He is a graduate of the Parsons New School for Design, the former Senior Designer for Schott NYC - the company that created the first leather motorcycle jacket in 1928, a competitor on the 2009 season of Project Runway , and the current Senior Designer of Motor City Denim.
I had the pleasure of photographing him for The People of Detroit at the production facility for his brand while the Discovery Channel filmed us for an upcoming documentary the channel is doing on Detroit.
After the interview, the Discovery Channel asked me on camera to describe my impressions of him. I looked the producer in the eye, and I described him as,
"…a stand-up guy."
Of course, I've never used the phrase "stand-up guy" in my previous 32 years of existence. But, point a camera at me and I apparently turn into Joe Pesci. Boy, can't wait for this documentary to air. I'm pre-embarrassed for myself.
That said, Joe is a stand-up guy. After surveying the fashion world, he decided to open his business in metro-Detroit. To produce his denimwear, he even collaborated with a company that manufactures covers for Detroit's car-building robots.
I asked him why, after traveling the world, living and working in New York, would he open up a fashion business in Detroit?
"Because I like it here"
I imagine Joe's sentiment would leave many non-Detroiters awash in incredulity. I, on the other hand, know exactly what he's saying.
A year ago, my travel as an adult was limited to brief, touristy visits to Seattle, Toronto, New York, and Chicago. Over the past year, work as a photographer has permitted me to visit London, England and to live in Shanghai, China for nearly a month.
I've also had the opportunity to revisit Chicago and New York, this time venturing afoot from the shiny set-piece tourist districts and living as residents of those cities live while staying with friends in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood and NYC's Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant communities.
The opportunity to travel to and temporarily reside in these places has led me to one conclusion:
I like Detroit too. This isn't to say I'm sentimentally oblivious to the city's problems. I'm just better accustomed to the problems of other places. Which has helped me put Detroit's problems in perspective.
Which isn't to say that one must physically travel the world to figure out how your hometown compares to places abroad.
In the modern world, the intellectually-curious consumer of national and international podcasts, documentaries, books, movies, and music can get a pretty comprehensive assessment of the rest of the world.
Nonetheless, before I traveled, I never felt like I had an adequate retort for people who questioned my opinion of the city.
For example, when I'd tell certain kinds of people that I liked living in Detroit, they'd condescendingly ask in their best Mid-Atlantic affect "well, have you traveled extensively?"
Their underlying assumption was that I liked Detroit because I was too simple to know better; as if my only exposure to the outside world was via a hand-drawn parchment paper map where uncharted seas are designated by drawings of sea monsters and shit.
Before I had the chance to travel, my response was usually, "No, but I have extensively watched PBS."
But starting a response with a "no" carries so many negative implications.
Now that I've had the opportunity to travel and briefly reside in places as disparate as New York City and Shanghai, and with this being the first day of spring, I feel like its high time I adopt a more positive response:
"Yes, you asshole."

This design features a more down-to-earth look for the ol' Webhead. A light zip-up jacket and track pants are paired with lace-up gloves and boots. The laces work really well with the web motif and the padded webbing on the jacket and hood are strong enough visually that a spider logo isn't necessary. This makes for a light and quick Spider-Man with a parkour and free running influence, as well as drawing inspiration from cafe racer motorcycle jackets, the Bride's yellow jumpsuit from Kill Bill, '80s break dancer's, athletic sportswear, and classic super-hero design.
For the sake of disclosure, the laces were from an earlier design of a co-worker, Oren Schott's Spider-man, but he dropped them on the final version, so I picked them up. Check out his awesome ongoing webcomic here.
Has the uncommon "D pocket" configuration. YKK main zipper, IDEAL sleeve zippers.
I posted this to the SchottNYC website (because it's missing the neck tag) and found out it is a model 519 which was produced for one year in 1986. It has Top Grain Cowhide which is a corrected hide, same weight and thickness of the Steerhide and Naked Cowhide but at a lower price point.
So I learned how to make an effective illustration with my Wacom board. I'm going to enjoy this.
We're using this as a faux ad in Schott NYC's Fall 2011 Catalog.
This is a Schott leather jacket I painted with the artwork from the Clash album London Calling. See more at www.paintedleatherjackets.com
