The Ultimate Trunk Show In New York City

     Yesterday I attended a show for independent clothes brands in the city, brought to you by Chris Leann Boutique. I primarily went to check out my friend Jason and Karlo's clothing brand called Irregular, which you can find at theirregularlife.com. When I got up to the 14th floor of the building where the event was being held, the number of people inside was amazing.





    I should have known from the amount of people that were in the lobby and the fact their were 2 greeters, that this was going to be an official event. I wasn't wrong either. When the doors opened on the elevator, I heard music blaring out and saw a ton of people. As I walked around attempting to find my friends, I noticed them by the window near the female DJ. Yes, I said female DJ, who was great with her selection of music as well as her execution. The world needs more female DJ's in it.




   When I finally got to the Irregular table, they had a bunch of T-Shirts on it for sale, as well as some vintage sneakers. They even had a custom bike behind the table which Karlo told me they had already sold to someone. My friend Jason told me that somebody had even bought the vintage varsity jacket off his back that he was wearing when he got there. On top of that, Irregular also does snap back New Era hats.








    It was hard to walk around because of the sheer amount of people inside of the place, but you can't complain because the crowd was great,right? There were slices of cake for sale as well as cups of Alize closer to the back of the room. I'm not sure of it was free or not because I never had a chance to get any, but I imagine, they may have been sponsoring the event.


    There was no shortage of ladies in the building either. A ton of them actually. I estimate about 250-300 people inside of the room, with half of that being females. This is how hip hop shows need to look these days instead of the massive amount of guys, and about 5 women if your lucky.


    As for the day at the actually Irregular Life table, I think things went well. Jason and Karlo were in front of the table ready to talk to anyone interested in the clothing, while myself and Darren were behind the table helping out. We had the usual business cards as well as stickers to give out to people, both with the website for the clothing brand on it. I had a few of my Birth of a Dream cd's on me as well, cause like cash, or however that commercial goes, you never leave home without it.




   It was a good show though and after that I ended up at BBQ's with Darren cause working makes you hungry. If you would like more information on the next Ultimate Trunk Show or Irregular clothing, check out the links below.
