Michael Venker a recent Parsons Fashion Design Graduate is expected to launch in Japan Next Month, He collaborated with The KDU on this Art/lookbook made of Hand stitched 70 year old linen paper with real 24kt Gold and Platinum details..definitely a keeper!!!..when Michael was asked about who his target customer was here's what he had to say:
"Someone who wants have a good time, and laughs a lot. My clothing isn't really form fitting, so it can appeal to a broad range of body types and ages, so it's more of an attitude thing. I think my customer works and plays hard, and has a blast doing both"-
A man after my own heart!!His name will be on all the fashion radars if they are not already...check after the jump for more Images...

When last I spoke to TooFly, she was mentioning how she needed a new system for keeping herself better organized and on top of all her appointments/events. Given that she not only sent me the flier for this post AND the last one--both events which she's participating in--as busy as this woman is, rather than any new system, she might wanna try cloning herself!
This show takes opens on May 3rd at Fuse Gallery and will be curated by Queen Andrea and GMO$, both of whose art is also featured, along with TooFly plus three more.
Here's the flier...
After the flip are some sample images from the show, and more are here.
This came across the news wires while I was away so sue me if you've already seen it on all your favorite sneaker sites! The event is a "glow-in-the-dark" charity art exhibit, featuring the work of 12 female street artists. It all goes down this Thursday, May 1st in SoHo, New Yawk.
If you wanna go or need more info, visit LeFemmeSole <-----(Love the name!)
^^This ridiculously cute show poster is courtesy of none other than Highsnobette beloved TooFly.
DJ Billy Jam of WFMU recently interviewed one of our faves, TooFly, along with the legendary legendary Lady Pink, plus Muck and Dona, all four who are collaborators in a current installation at Bronx Museum called "Activism is Never Done" (aint that the damn truth!). Karla Murray, co-author of graffiti books "Burning New York" and "Broken Windows" was also there.
You can check out the archived show here.
^^DJ Billy Jam and the rest of the crew
^^This is why we love her.
I'm back in New York. Yeh!
I missed you!!!!

The opening for the Murakami show at Brooklyn Museum was last night and looky-loo and who was there! None other than the devil herself!!
^^She probably helicoptored in and landed on the roof of the museum to avoid driving through the streets of Brooklyn so she wouldn't have to hurt her eyes gazing upon humans---gasp!!--who don't make a gazillion dollars/year. That's Marc on the right of course. He did another bag collabo with Murakami and it launched in conjunction with opening night.
And if you weren't there, don't feel bad (even though it would have been fun to see Kanye perform no matter what). Look at the pictures after the fold and you'll see that launch night parties at museums are filled with boring-ass people who have the social skills of hamsters. I'm NOT lying. Seriously.
