SHORT CUTS Directed by Robert Altman – 1993 Inspired by the short stories written by Raymond Carver, Short Cuts is an episodic film following twenty-two lives and the chance encounters associated between.

Designer Interview: Rhuigi Villaseñor INTERVIEW RHUDE MANNERS TW: How does your upbringing and background play into your work, and what influence does Los Angeles have on your ideas? RV: My background is the core inspiration for all my designs. I was raised with firm values and taught to perceive the world as a blank canvas. My parents taught me rules so that I could learn to break them. I took this idea and applied it to my work, designing without boundaries or limitations and making clothing that truly spoke to my experiences.
