Vegas Baby...it's about that time!

Yup, it's been six months and it's time again! The tradeshow action will be in full effect next week in Las Vegas...Magic, Pool, Project, etc...For the past 14 years I have attended the Magic Show. My business there was legit, in the early days I worked for a streetwear brand called Pernicci...those where the days when the streetwear section was in a large tent in the parking lot across from the LV convention center. I then assisted a friend of mine that represented a couple of different lines...I was still in high school, it was all very exciting!! Once I wrapped up college I did a 7 year stint designing clothes for Emily the Strange and continued on my bi-annual journey to Vegas.

Seeing how life is what you make of it, I didn't let the fact that I no longer worked for a clothing company that shows at the tradshows stop this ritual. I made it work!
I have a client from Japan that comes to the show that carries vintage in his 10 stores in Japan, we hit up all the thrift stores and antique malls. I help out my friends by transporting their samples to the shows, help in the Mama camp and this year will be promoting M.I.S.S. Crew even harder!

Here are some picts from the last tradeshow this past August...stay posted for action from next weeks tradeshow maddness!!!
