Day 1:
Today my trade show viewing did not start until 6pm. Luckily, I got to check out the Lat 40 trade show in Chelsea/midtown. Lat 40 was the only trade show i ever been to where all the brands were from one specific region. I thought it was a good twist. Japanese influence in American fashion is definitely strong. I credit their influence in marketing and business in helping the "streetwear years". Only if there wasn't a thing called customs......
Here are some of my notes from the show:
a)Lat 40 Trade Show 450 west 31st b)18 different brands clothing and jewelry c)Babylon T from Himmy d)Zipper detail from B.Q.E e)Perf. leather fedora from Xescape f)Bootlegbooth and Xescape booths g) Xescape is doing really nice things with there outerwear. Great materials!! Maybe the best brand I saw that day h) Tartan button up from Bootlegbooth(nice weight great piece) i) Devilock-- more to come soon.
