Kicking off the first round of our What's In Your Tote? series; the legendary Cali DeWitt. The Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist / designer / longtime Goodhood favourite was in town and rolled through the store. We gave him a tote bag to fill up with his favourite items on the shop floor. Check out his selections and why he chose them below.
GOODHOOD: Any ideas on what you’re going to pick out today?
CALI DEWITT: I’m going to pick out an airport fit. I fly back to LA tomorrow so I’m going for comfort. I'm really into TOGA so I'm looking forward to seeing what TOGA you have.
GH: What on the t-shirt rail is catching your eye?
CD: The Trilogy Tapes’ t-shirts. I’m a big fan, I’ve been on them since the start, I love what they put out.
GH: How are you enjoying your time in London?
CD: London’s been great. I haven’t been here as much as I’ve been to other places. London is pretty big so there’s a lot to discover. Like earlier, I was in Soho and I walked here [Shoreditch], I’d rather walk everywhere. I haven’t seen anything here for a while so it’s exciting you know?

GH: Do you have any go-to’s in London?
CD: Not really. I haven’t really been here that much. I’ve been here a couple of times in the early ‘90s, then I didn’t come back for 12 years. I like Waste! a lot. I discovered them pretty much straight away [when they first opened] and I really like them. I like what they’re doing. Roydon and Jack, I love those guys.
GH: It’s always nice going to a place and seeing the people that run it on the shop floor too.
"VEGYN HAS SORTED ME OUT WITH ALL THE MACHINES SO I CAN START DOING SHOWS AGAIN FROM HOME"
GH: You’ve been shooting with Aries today. How’d it go?
CD: Good! I shot it, and I really believe in making that kinda stuff. And I’m not really a photographer, so…
GH: I don’t think that matters so much.
CD: I don’t either. We all have cameras, so we can all take images.
GH: Any plans to pick up your NTS show again?
CD: I’m gonna start those again. I stopped during the pandemic because I could no longer go there to record, and I didn’t have any of the stuff at home. Vegyn has sorted me out with all the machines now so I can start doing shows again from home. I’ve got about 200 hours of music to play…
GH: Love the gold teeth by the way.
CD: Thank you. I had to really rot my teeth to get these. I had to get a bone graft because I didn’t have a strong enough jaw bone to take the bolts.

GH: Got any other plans for while you’re still in town?
CD: Right now I’m going to go and pack, I’ve gotta pack for my baby too. He’s 10 months old, and packing for a baby I a challenge. Like he’ll puke, and I forgot to pack an extra outfit for him.
GH: Is this the first time you’ve travelled with your son?
CD: No, I’ve been travelling with him all year. I feel like enough is enough for him, he wants a break from it.
GH: Pretty insane to be 10 months old and having seen this much of the world already.
CD: Yeah, I just wish he could remember it, haha.
GH: For you though, great to be able to step on a plane in an outfit you haven't worn yet.
CD: Yeah. Although I’ll get on and my son will probably barf on me, haha.
For Cali DeWitt’s latest collection with Vans Vault, we caught up the legendary multi-disciplinary artist and take a look at what a day in the life looks like…
To celebrate the launch of our in-store exhibition and 10 day pop up shop in collaboration with BEAMS T and HIROTTON, we ask the Japanese artist our infamous 10 Questions...
We catch up with FUCT founder Erik Brunetti in an exclusive interview to talk origins, being the ultimate agent provocateur, and why his label is still king.
