Mills Botham
Mills Botham grew up in a household of gearheads, and has been working on cars for most of his life. After working as an auto racing and restoration mechanic, he turned to motorcycles for a change of pace, and rapidly developed an affinity for vintage Hondas. Mills founded Driftless Motorworks in 2021 to turn that passion into a business, and now specializes in the restoration, modification, and maintenance of 60s, 70s, and 80s Hondas. He also loves sharing the joy of motorcycling with others, and has come to believe in the correctness of what remains the most successful marketing campaign of all time: You (Still!) Meet the Nicest People on a Honda.
MID IVY
Regionally the midwest has been influenced by coastal culture for decades. From Cape Cod and NYC to Newport Beach and LA, students have flocked to midwestern schools bringing their inherent style and culture. It’s this mashup of style and culture influence that creates something unique and original.
East Coast Prep meets West Coast Cool that’s built on a platform of historical, hardworking family pedigree of farmers and factory workers. Tweeds, Cardigans, Corduroy and Boat Shoes have found their match in denim and coveralls.
WI SPORTING CLUB
The Northwoods has a way of slowing your senses down. The way light paints in shadows or cuts through morning mist. The smell of earth underfoot in a deep canopy of evergreens or fragrant spruce wafting in waves. Hearing a loon echo across a cold body of water or mostly listening for its partners return call.
Giants of conservation such as Aldo Leopold and John Muir had a way of putting in words to what our senses already know. Or a grandparent reciting passages from these works as they tie flys, polish a camera lens, or carve a new duck call as the glow from the hearth help light the cabin.
ABIQUIU
Native daughter of Wisconsin, Georgia O’Keeffe’s influence stretches from WI to the concrete and asphalt jungle of NYC to the sun bleached adobe facades of New Mexico. Her artistic approach or vantage point, has been lauded and copied by many. In New Mexico, where, in 1940, O’Keeffe bought a home at the Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, she wore denim and painted the landscapes, she loved to wear men’s shirts paired with bluejeans. She honed her style by borrowing from other nations, too. When she travelled to Japan, she returned with kimonos, one of which she is wore, open and loose, in a Paul Strand portrait from 1918. It’s through this vantage point we created our narrative, Abiquiu.
