CARLY MARK COFOUNDED
PUPPETS AND PUPPETS,
ONE OF NEW YORK’S MOST
CREATIVE DOWNTOWN FASHION LABELS.
OLIVIER ZAHM — Carly, why is your label called Puppets and Puppets? It’s an amazing name. Is it ironic?
CARLY MARK — It is. I think it’s pretty multilayered. At the surface level, it’s the name of my dog. I have a rescue Chihuahua-terrier named Puppet. So, the brand is named after him, but he is named after the antihero in the anime Ghost in the Shell, the Puppet Master, a villain who hacked the brains of half-human, half-AI characters. I also have a tattoo that says “Puppet Master.” I had the tattoo before I had the dog.
OLIVIER ZAHM — That film is amazing. It offers a new perspective on the future.
CARLY MARK — Oh, it’s amazing. Because, isn’t that what we’re moving toward? Right…
