BACK in da Day...........
Last week...in NYC, I was visiting my good, longtime friend, photog Daniel Dease. While he was on his computer, working on his website, I noticed this photo he shot of Tyson and Richard Elms, in SKM.
BackStory: Model Agent, Bethann Hardison, came to my Spring "94 Collection-"MECCA". After the fashion show Bethann came and congratulated me on a "great show". She ask me if i would be intrested in working with two of her newer models, on some test shots (funny thing is that DDease had stop by, my studio, days before my showing, and comment on these new models Bethann was repping and how he liked their look). Bethann said Danny would be shooting the photos and I was all in (i luv Danny's photos...he is da BOMB...most of the photos on my site are by him). http://www.shakakingny.com/).
So the above shoot was born. We shot them in my, MECCA '94 Collection. I did all the styling & grooming (not much of that needed...w/faces like that). It was intresting that both models where biracial w/Asian heritage and if i'm not mistaken African Carribean. The shoot was fun, the guys were pleasent to work with. We shot 4-5 looks on each guy + doubles.
Note: A couple of their early magazine shoots, fashion editors shot Richard & Tyson together. "Ummm...i wonder...?...Im jus sayin"
Ohhh and Note II: DNR (the men's wear fashion bible), dubbed me..."the King Of Chic" on the COVER of the Sept. 24, 1993 issuse after viewing my spring '94 Collection "Mecca", which was inspired by Spike Lee's movie " Malcolm X".
...(singing) memories like the corners of my mind...sk!

WDC Trunk Sale...NYC Retail!?!
I had no time to blog....why?...because, i've been "sewing my a** off ", getting ready for my Fall /Winter Trunk Sale,which was held in WDC (Washington DC) Nov 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15. I partnered with TRANSIENT by Bill Johnson Studio ( a new and fresh take on Menswear ) he calls it "Retrofutrism". He also carries a complete line of Vintage Leather jackets and coats + Vintage sunglasses ( rrreally nice stuff) bjstudio@aol.com . A big "Thank U" to everyone who came out and supported us.
I went to NYC for 3 days...I needed fabric and supplies (it's impossible to find what i need, @ a good wholesale price, here in MIA. I don't know what the fabric/trim suppliers are "smokin" here in Miami...but they "be trippin".) also i needed to get my "Empire State on". Its always nice being in the City that allowed me to live my dream, when it was just that...a DREAM.
The one big trend I noticed, as I people watched...boots, Boots, BOOTS...they were everywhere!!!!!
Well, I'm now back in MIA and the holidays are nipping @ my heels.
So much sewing...so little time.
