Participating in the Harlem Fine Arts Show this year for Black History Month was a transformative experience for me and my studio, 'Younity Studios.' Surrounded by esteemed artists like Luca Goly, Yuzly Mathurin, Jus10 Ellis, DntWatchTV, Thomas E. Lockhart III, Bones The Machine, Robert L. Newman, I felt a sense of camaraderie and recognition that has propelled my career forward.
Richard Cave made an unforgettable statement in his 'Since the Beginning' custom suit jacket by Hallamoda
The Carimi Reunion at UBS Arena on December 27th was nothing short of historic, marking the much-anticipated return of the iconic group formed by Mickeal Guirand, Karlo Vieux, and Richard Cave after an eight-year hiatus. The atmosphere was electric as fans gathered to celebrate their beloved music, which has been a source of joy and connection for so many.
Last Month, I got to link up with the NYC Bronx Born artist 'Scar Lip' at SOB's for her performance with the Youniteam, rolling deep with our new PR Woman, Tammi Noelle Taylor, Chief Editor of TO+NY Magazine, Mari J and sharpshooter photographer Ralphy Clouds. 'This Is New York' artist has been the driving force of our city and has inspired some of my latest fashion and art creations, bringing back memories of the hustle and grind that shaped me into who I am today.
Last month, fellow Morgan Jesse Lapin, Daze, Ralphy, and I set up shop for a pop-up in Brooklyn, kickstarting the first "May•Hem" event. It's a grind, man, not just about lookin' cool, but about the light we bring into this world.
During my visit to CAM's studio in DUMBO before his event with bespoke furniture company Mark Jupiter, Mari J and I had the opportunity to witness the seamless collaboration between them.
esterday, I met up with curator, artist and co-owner of Basin Gallery, Jaimie Walker, for a dope afternoon with Craig Anthony Miller bka CAM and Cey Adams, two heavy-hitter artists hailing from the Heart of New York who have paved the way for artists like myself in the scene.
May 30th, I attended the opening of "Soft Bodies" at Skye Gallery in Chelsea with my fellow artist and part-time bestie Gianna Tesone. Hailing from Denver, each artist united to bring their creations to our fast-paced City, aiming to add a touch of warmth to our stone-cold lives.
Nahhhh I Had the MOST amazing experience at the Landmark Art Gallery checking out Luca Goly accompanied by Mia showcasing his talent! It was truly invigorating to feel slightly overwhelmed by the presence of other notable artists like Reid Stowe & Wife Maxine Hoover, DIG, and Miriam Portilla. Their energies motivated and inspired me in ways I didn't expect. Witnessing art from diverse corners of the globe was a surreal experience - especially the authentic connection between Miriam from Mexico and Josh Zweig from the Bust Gallery, as well as DIG's impeccable sense of style both on the canvas and in person.
On this episode in the Modaverse, I had the pleasure of teaming up with DJ Selectress Iriela, and Event Coordinator Mirella Bajaña BKA Azuca (aka Zu Zu) for a Studio 54 inspired disco bash powered by Second World Productions & Fusicology in the heart of NYC. It’s no secret, TOGETHER, WE ARE THE HEARTBEAT OF THE CITY
Y'all ain't gonna believe the epic time the 'Youniteam' and yours truly, Mr. Moda, had jammin' with the Jungle God at Bluepoint in Long Island. We were livin' it up with RSNY MUSIC and the one and only reggae legend Shaggy at the 4/20 Smoke Festival. Ahhh a random highlight of mine was seeing B.O.B. and him then proceeding to do a series of acrobats. I will never forget that. Also bringing my partner Deb, and her getting to see Mr. Boombastic himself! Him performing a nostalgic favorite ‘Oh' Carolina’ was unexpected! Mann, Shaggy is an embodiment of black artistry, swagger and panache!! Feel me?? I look forward to what he will do with Jungle, inshallah.
