WK Salon 150

The first matter box is out… I think that the coolest concept by far is the Cereal Poetry box. It is a collaboration between Penguin Books and Jordan Cereal. (It was created by Mark Waites at Mother w/colleagues Jo Forel and Iskra Tsaneva)

Salon #1…Now that streetwear is dead, what’s next?
For our first salon, we gathered a group of fashionable,prominent individuals in the streetwear community and asked them to reflect on the following….
What is streetwear? What is street style?
Is stuff played out as soon as more than your immediate friends have it?
Have blogs caused the end of the individual?
Is this an era of the commoditization of the individual’s style?
Can street style ever truly reflect society or is it too self conscious?
Has technology helped or hurt style?
When do brands cease to be authentic?
What is the single largest influence on your style?
What city is the leading influence on global street style? Why?
What do you like/dislike about NYC style?
