Independent Trunk Show!!!!!!

So, me and Digital Doll (Taneka) decided to hit up the Trunk Show on Atlantic yesterday. We got there a little late but had a good time. You know I couldn't have missed out on an event to meet independent and innovative artists, their practically my inspiration for starting this blog! As always meeting independent desginers puts a smile on my face:) It's nothing like being around innovative talent. They have so much enthusiasm and passion when they talk about their collections, it's refreshing to be around that energy opposed to snotty designers who have already made it big and forgot how they started out (something to think about....).Anyways, I wish the best for every designer that I spoke to last night and hopefully pretty soon I can feature most of them for an interview! Thanks so much to Christopher Gandsy who hosted the event in efforts to give indie designers an outlet to network and have people buy their pieces.Can't wait for the next event!
