PFW'16: INSIDERS EXPERIENCE // ONYX BY ONYX TAYLOR x MARYANN'S DAUGHTER!!!!!.........VIEW MORE

{2300 Arena}

"Yeesssssssss . MADDDD." !!!!! Was all I could say as the pictures + videos poured in from this past season of Philly Fashion Week!! Featuring my very own work, I was humbly invited to collaborate and show my custom hand made head-pieces along side Philadelphia based clothing collection Onyx By Onyx Taylor!... Joining the designer, as he took the PFW stage for the first time!  From the second I said yes, I was ecstatic! Just the night before, I was talking to myself about how busy I've been with new business ventures + how much I missed volunteering, but how it would be all good because next season I'll have more time for sure.

Well don't you know, Lo' & behold as the next morning arrived, so did another great opportunity, manifested in just a matter of hours! Thank . You . Universe! Almost every second thereafter, was trying to figure out designs, if he would like them, and above them all, how will I tame my fashion goes there approach to meet his minimalistic meticulousness? Initially, all of that was running through my mind....

Then there was show day, in which it was everything I practically imagined in the most positive way possible! The vibes and the synergy is what I live for! I truly appreciated being apart of such a precious moment for the both of us! See what Designer
Onyx Taylor has to say for himself about the experience!

UNCOOL_CHUCK ART EXHIBIT x WE CULTURE ARTIST COMMUNITY PHOTO FINALE!!!!!!.........VIEW MORE

Last week, I had the pleasure of viewing  Philadelphia native Uncool_Chuck, curator and creator, of We Culture in a different light! The modern mogul most notably known for his existing clothing line Righteous Rebel and unforgettable style, closed the old year sharing an intimate & inspiring experience with his fellow artist community that was unforgettable.
My perspective of his artwork as a collective, was a reflective process for myself dealing with heartbreak, anger, and confusion to say the least. I left very much inspired and ready to embark on my own art journey to share with the world! 

In the meantime, CALLING ALL PHILLY ARTISTS, for the 3rd and Final artist community photo!!! 500 PPL to stand on the Art Museum steps in unity is this years goal, so let's come together and make this thing happen!

{ PHILLY ARTS } WE CULTURE ARTIST COMMUNITY PHOTO x TAKE 2!!!!!..........VIEW MORE

Last year, I was invited to be apart of a new movement manifesting itself in Philadelphia history. To join the city's finest artists on the music, art, & fashion scene in capturing a timeless memorabilia of strength, unity, & change during this new era of evolving culture in Philadelphia! The photo took place on the epic steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum evoking a black & white image that could be described as the epitome of art in our current artistic community! Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity :( whomp whomp ... I know, and as you could imagine I was devastated. However, at the time I was developing my first solo demonstration event for MaryAnn's Daughter so I couldn't spend too much time sobbing. But I'll tell you what, I won't be missing this one! And you shouldn't either. Read on for more information.
