The Story

Kim Hastreiter isn't just a collector, she's an alchemist of the ordinary, transforming the everyday into extraordinary narrative. As co-founder of Paper magazine, she's spent half a century curating a kaleidoscopic universe where objects become characters in cultural storytelling. This volume invites you into her wonderfully chaotic mind, where boundaries between art, fashion, design, and life beautifully dissolve.

STUFF is more than a memoir; it's a loopy, joyous, chaotic ride through the last half century of cultural chaos in the greatest city on earth. Whether you are an OG or a kid, a culture vulture, artist, design buff, fashion nerd, skater, collector, chef, cinephile, New Yorker, uptowner, downtowner, out-of-towner or something else entirely, STUFF will make you feel like you're sitting with Kim in her garden high above Washington Square Park, her booming voice imploring you to pursue your life with compulsive enthusiasm. The book features an exclusive cover design by the elusive yet legendary artist Jim Joe, best known for designing the iconic album cover for Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
