cūrāre: to attend to, to take care of.

cūrāre: to attend to, to take care of. Introduction Last year, I published the piece Curators are the New Creators , arguing in favor of a business model centered around “good taste.” This piece expands upon that previous work by putting a magnifying glass on the relationship between curation and commerce. I’m grateful and excited to be writing it with Jesse Lee of Basic.Space , who’s helped to illuminate the unique relationship between goods and tastemakers. In 1997, Malcolm Gladwell published his piece The Coolhunt, investigating the process of looking for new fashion trends at street level.
