For the past 3 seasons, I've been part of the team that designs and executes S.L.A.T.E., the select streetwear section of MAGIC in Vegas. This time I was there for almost a week - multi-day setup plus 3-day show, oooof. Despite 15-hr days and walking miles across concrete convention center floor and staying working til midnight putting up foamcore...this season was still my favorite show so far. The mood was more positive all around than last show (which was in mid-Feb/recession freakout time)...we hosted a big party with Stussy at the Hard Rock (where I stayed, and which is more hilariously ridiculous than I even expected)...I pulled in Adidas Originals, Hot Air and Crooks & Castles for a VIP gifting event...got to meet a bunch of designers I'd been corresponding with...and I ended up with some pretty sweet swag at the end.
full whored-out-by-MAGIC regalia (thanks brand partners!): Lira tee, Married to the Mob jeans, Urge snakeskin flats
my daily necklace: badge, keys to the claw arcade game, Xlarge lanyard (thanks), and resin bowtie from Mr. Tastees (borrowed for a photoshoot and the sweetheart owners gave it to me)
I'm terrible at photoshoots, especially those involving my Canon and the self-timer...but I actually really love this Lira tee we had for Wednesday.
too impatient to take a better shot of this oh-so-meta tee from HomeRoom
oh yah, I totally rock out in my bedroom every morning in my Xlarge tee, free gigantic headphones and Zodiac boots, oh yah.
the lovely Melissa, new head of branding for the relaunch of Zodiac boots (!!!), gave me this pretty damn awesome pair before they even are released...
