Oscars Highlight
We may be in a recession but that didn't seem to stunt the style of the Academy of actors at this years Oscars. We saw everything from overdone, almost costume like gowns to sleek fitted suits from the guys. One couple stood out the most to us. Zac Efron who sported a slim fitting Dolce and Gabbana suit and Vanessa Hutchins who wore a Marchesca knee length dress that she had lengthened. Now I have to admit, I idolize Zac Efron a little bit. The guy can dress his ass off and he really puts that Disney check to good use. Every time I see a picture of this guy he's always on it. Not to mention he plays that relaxed, I'm just taking a stroll through L.A look better than any other celebrity. Now guys here's a lesson for this years formal wear. SLIM BOW TIES! I can't tell you how many guys I see with these huge ass clown like bow ties looking like they re about to sell me a bean pie on behalf of the Nation of Islam rather than go out for the night. So to sum everything up Zac and Vanessa, us here at STOREFRONT officially deems you DOPE for this years Oscars. And guys, slim is in.
Welcome to D.C!
NY, L.A, M.I.A are great but theres something speacial about the nations capital. The atmosphere is flooded with culture and a diverse sense of originailty. From the fashion to the music D.C stands on it's own two feet when it comes to the celebration of art. Walking down the street you can see and hear music from anything that can produce sound, trash cans, boxes, barrels almost everything is used to produce the distinct sounds of GOGO an art form in itself. D.C, you really are one in a million.
Just For Kids
Zara has always been a leading distributor of clothes but as we walked passed the window setting in D.C their collection of kids attire caught our eyes. I just thought to myself, damn these kid manikins are chic as shit. After I saw this display I vowed that my kids would look like this everyday lol.Guardian Angels
While we were in D.C we came across these guys who are ordinary people who dedicate their nights patrolling the streets, picking up the slack from the neighborhood police. Think of it as the Power Rangers meet the city. And anyone who will dedicate their time for the benefit of others is dope to us.Thursday, February 19, 2009
Fall 2009
Designer: Marc by Marc Jacobs
It's great to see some color for this years fall line. We've been looking through a lot of other fall collections and many of them seem to be really monochromatic for the upcoming fall season. The color Marc uses is definitely a breath of fresh air among the other black, grey, and navy's used by a lot of other designers. Jacobs seems to be playing with a bit of layering which we like to do a lot of when the weather calls for it.....and when it doesn't. And the high top, boot like trainers are a great addition to his pieces.
Major Issue!
Kanye covers the March issue of Details Magazine. Kanye talks about his signature style, his website, and even leaving the music industry to pursue fashion full time. Issue out now, go get it!

new york, New York, NEW YORK!
One word can sum up the day trip me and Alain took to NY....DOPE! Every time I go to NY I realize that there's no place like it. The fashion scene was crazy and it left us inspired and ready to get back to work on our up-coming show [April 12th be on the look out for more details.] The weather was great and the vibes were good on Fashion Week's second day of shows and me and Alain were there for the ride. Before we got to Bryant Park we visited Time Square and did our rounds through Soho and the Village. As we walked the streets of NY we almost forgot that it was even Fashion Week because walking the streets of Soho was like walking through a magazine in itself. I love New York because it's one of those cities that you can be YOU and people won't look at you like you have 12 heads. The StreetStyle was too much fun to do. Meeting new people and enjoying the common passion for fashion was sick. As we made our way over to Bryant Park you could start to feel the excitement in the air. When we arrived we were there in time to catch people leaving the Barbie show that we later saw online [it was pretty dope.] Outside the tents we met loads of people from NYU students to designers, photographers, editors and other people watchers standing outside just happy to be in the creative environment. It's hard for words to describe the vibes we felt from being there. Just know they were good. By the time we had decided to pack up and leave 6 hours had passed and we decided it was time to head back to MD so we could get back to Hampton the next day. New York you were good to us and we'll definitely be back for more.
