I am also in this, talking about clothes. What a lovely looking thing

In what feels like several lifetimes ago I profiled Naughty Dog in the latter years of developing The Last of Us 2. Now that piece is reborn in a book, surrounded by many incredible writers, with amazing illustration. www.tuneandfairweather.com/products/loo...
