sneak peak: LTD WOMENS STREEWEAR ROUNTABLE DISCUSSION
*LANIE, CLAUDI, WENDY and me.
THURSDAY, LTD MAGAZINE held a roundtable discussion in the LES and asked me to be apart of it. i was honored to be alongside some very amazing friends who continue to crush the game with their creative vision; CLAUDIA of CLAW MONEY and LANIE of HELLZ BELLZ….and moderators WENDY of NITROLICIOUS and HYUN KIM. photos were taken by fellow upstater JESS WINTER…
there were a lot of great topics covered; “how do you feel about the term streetwear? what are some common misconceptions about you being a female in a male dominated industry? how do you balance work life and personal life?”. you can check it out in LTD magazine once it’s all done.
*me and HYUN.

*CLAUDIA is mother of this game. she is a real living legend and deserves much applause for her accomplishments as a graffiti artist who really showed that women ain’t no joke!
*LANIE really switched up the female “streetwear” game with her cut and sew pieces and punk rock approach that can be seen on everyone from BEYONCE to the girl next door.
*me.
