It’s that time of year again, Detroit Fashion Week is officially underway. I was Fashionably tardy to the opening night at the Black Finn Restaurant & Saloon ..but I still managed to catch a bit of the crowd.
William Malcolm & Brian Heath.
I got a chance to sit down with Brian Heath [2nd from the left] who is the head visionary of Detroit Fashion Week and talk about the week’s upcoming events , as well as the sponsors for this year ..seems things are progressing quite nicely. He talked about how he’s stepping everything up tremendously this year, which means that the designers as well as their models will have to be on their A-Game.
Sad but true, this is one of the few and proud events that give Michigan Based designers a chance to showcase their lines with such magnitude ..so many props to Brian Heath for bringing this whole thing together, and supplying the community with a quality event list year after year.

Everyone’s excited, as well they should be!
See you at the shows!

I was out shooting the other day, and I felt up to it to do a little experimenting. What I was rockin’ was fairly simple, so I felt it necessary to change the vibe of the photo up a bit by using somewhat of a ‘not-your-everyday’ stance.
To my surprise , that one little thing drew more attention to the photo than I’d anticipated ..that’s dope. Now if I were Asian, this [pose] would most likely just be written off and subconsciously understood as: “Oh, he just on some Asian shit.” But since I’m not (clearly, lol) ..it makes a lot of people think: “Wait, did he just do that? ..Is he allowed to do that?” I love it. This is Art; Not Math! That’s the beauty of it, there are no limitations or parameters as to what can and can not be done. Now, It’s perfectly normal for all of us to draw the line somewhere as far as what we ourselves can comfortably do, but I feel that more people (especially those who claim themselves as ‘artists’) need a bit of a lesson in creative thinking. Art is creation ..creation, obviously requires some sort of creativity. How do you expect to be a ill creator if you define what you’re allowed to do by what has already been done? ..I’m not trying to be on some Socrates shit, I’m just sayin’ ..if more people thought outside of the lines a bit more often, then maybe we would stop hearing/seeing so much of the same-lame-shit.

Well you know I couldn’t let Black History Month competely go by without saying anything at all. I know it’s the last day, better late than never, yeah?
This is a vintage Lex track, I recorded this around 2-3 years ago, but no one [with the exception of a few friends] ever really heard it, I wasn’t pushing my music that hard at this point in my life..this is the same year my Pops put me out because my music was too loud, haha!
..I was tryna’ kick knowledge!
