radlands weekend freakout

 

last weekend we drove out to harleysville, pa for a combination party weekend/lookbook photoshoot for radlands, a graphic label founded by guys whose philosophy on tees is that "when the t-shirt wears down to holes and you can’t recount where those blood stains came from, you’ll still put it on for another day of abuse, another day of drifting and droning, of cruising and stoning". and i know they mean it.

joan shepp/denise fike x designphiladelphia

style leader and philadelphia native joan shepp, local designer bela shehu of NINO brand collection, and local artist denise fike teamed up for the event "dressed up", where bela styled a model in her own designs and others from joan shepp and displayed the styles in joan shepp's walnut street window while denise created figure paintings of each look. "getting dressed" was, without a doubt, the most exciting and interesting of all the events i was lucky to be involved with - there was a crowd around the storefront the entire day!
