"What's That Jacket Margiela?" -H&M Collabo Event With Margiela At Time Warner Building

Speaking of old news, I found even MORE pics in my lost & found hard drive dept that I felt was shareable with you guys. In this set are pics from that H&M X Margiela shindig that 's already mentioned in the title. Gary Jourdain of the Block Association lady extended an invite to the team to do some pre-shopping before the gen pop got their hands on it, but NO ONE listened until they saw the treasure trove I came home with (SMDH). I was lite FM in the men's selection but, I managed to cop a pair of all white swaggy kicks, and a camel coat for team member L.A. However Gary came off with a nice denim jacket (he later returned) and a trio pack of linen underwear. WTFH! Anyways here's some pics I'm sharing, you'll see a few familiar fashion faces among the bunch.

"The Emperor's NEW Clothes!" -Minority Report Exclusive Recap Of Capsule '11

It had ALMOST slipped my mind, but THANK GOD I remembered check my e-mails to confirm the last date of Capsule (retail trade show) wasn't missed. And just my luck...It wasn't! WHEW! So after work I made my way down to their newest location, somewhere I wasn't familiar with, on the West end side of town. Google mapped it, was preregistered already, got the "entree beads" and started to make my rounds. Gotta say they outdid themselves this year! It was OVERWHELMING the sheer amount of booths and brands that were set up around the MASSIVE space! I didn't know WHERE to start! I ran into stylist and image consultant Keino Benjamin and just shadow him for a while going from booth to booth getting a feel from what's to come for the coming seasons. I made a short list of the brands that you DEFINITELY need to start checking for if you haven't started already. I placed stars next the brands I feel will be break out fashion phenoms. Plus I posted pics of stuff that caught my eye that NEED to go in my closet ASAP!
