COSMOPOLIJET'S BLACK BOX

I've known this band for about a few years now, formed by the Portillo Brothers and their electronic infused sounds.
As usual I arrived "fashionably late" making an entrance in my red  hooded trench coat by  the mexican designer brand DROPS, because it was raining cats and dogs. We had to walk for about a block because the LUX theather is located in dowtown,  but still made it to the listen to the new proposal this band has in this album. With a much more polished sound and style, the BLACK BOX debut was a success.

I have to warn you my phone took the worst photos ever but we had an incredible time dancing like we used to back in the day when these guys used to play at our favorite bar and art gallery, the NOA.
After the show, the Dj in charge was our "vinyl king" Pablo Lujan with a little depeche mode and new wave anthems that made the night memorable.

"Flannel and tatoos
Crosses and Flowers
Grunge and denim
Piercings and a whole of attitude"

When great minds work together you get nothing but perfection.
Teaming up with the talented King Leo from thekingdomx was an amazing experience because we both love music, movies  and fashion so much.

We came up with this editorial that feels like a 90s flashback with  inspiration of icons such as Shirley Manson from "Garbage", Gwen Stefani from" No Doubt" (yes she was a rebel queen before joining the fashion elite) and the black widow of rock, Courtney Love from "Hole", whose angsty lyrics we could all relate to and whose beauty we coveted.

The principle of the grunge"I dont care"look  mixed with the sexy as hell Calvin Klein's  "Heroin chic" was replicated in the smokey eyes and dark lips in shades of red and wine. The "I woke up like this after spending the whole night backstage" messed up hair in colors and textures that went perfectly with the faux fur, cause in the 90s we actually cared about the earth.

The whole art direction atmosphere was mostly inspired by the cult dark teen movie, "the Craft" where the forces of nature converge with the own power and femininity of the 90s rebel girl who wanted to rule everything, even the supernatural.

With all of these in mind and some of my own memories of a teenage grungy rebel fashionista dressed in plaid and combat boots, we managed to create this

Street Styled: Waltheria Fashion Show

WALTHERIA

This highly recognized Guatemalan Fashion Designer gave us an already expected parade of colorful prints and mixtures of textures that are his  trademark, But what nobody expected was when the models just stood still for more than 15 minutes and nothing happened. suddenly out of nowhere one of the attendees went up to this gorgeous dark skin model and started feeling the fabric of the jacket... and that was the moment when we all realized it was an interactive fashion show.

We could all touch, lift and just plain stare at the garments. It was one of a kind experience because we could actually look at everything up close and personal.

Another part of the show I enjoyed was the presence of one of my favorite brand of accessories,Medium. The quirky but very usable clutches gave each outfit the final touch.

So my final verdict on this show...
I' m gonna start wearing men's clothes and starting with a waltheria suit most definitely.
