Union Street Clothing Launch Party
It was back to The Wagon last night for the launch of Union Street clothing. This collaborative effort by Wagoneers Spag-Lo and Julius "Ju" Benn is the next brand on the scene looking to capture the eyes of discerning street fashion connoisseurs.
With nods to street couture and high fashion incorporated, Union Street is in tune with current street wear trends. Details like "cement" print, cheetah print, skulls and studs showcase the designers eye for juxtaposing styles, colors and patterns.
The prominent wagon logo lets you know right away the brands connection to The Wagon Boutique. The Wagon continues to be one of Brooklyn's finest sources for urban chic clothing and vintage apparel and accessories. The store was bubbling with guests pawing over Union Street's launch items as they sipped complimentary Coco Losos from the bar.
Union Street is not only about the look. They are putting as much effort into pleasing the skin as they are the eyes. The brands mission statement communicates, "...today fit and comfort is critical in men's fashion."
In between shooting....and drinking, I stopped to ask a few of the patrons what they thought of Union Street. Rob said, "I think it's really dope! I'm interested to see where they take it. The concept is pretty cool and I support anything that The Wagon carries." J-Hive answered, "Union Street is something special! It's new; it's impressive. I'm a Brooklyn ambassador, so if I wear it, then the streets will embrace it also. Even the ladies had good things to say. Guest Ann said, "It definitely represents Brooklyn. I think it's something that the youth can relate to."

"True Love Never Dies" states one of the Union Street tees. True indeed. As long as there are urban streets, street fashion and the love of ever evolving styles and artistic ideas, brands like Union Street will continue to flourish.

Rivals of Time Release Party
Last night I willed myself to get dressed and head out into the pouring rain and gale force wind. I hopped into my car and made my way south trying my best to not slide off the road into oblivion along the way. The destination was Canal Room for the release of Rivals of Time clothing. I also wanted to catch Fev and Siya's performances.
I got downtown safely, parked quickly and after more fighting with the wind and rain I made it inside. I was a little shocked but more so pleasantly surprised to see a packed house. Despite the horrible weather, people came out in numbers to support their friends. A beautiful start indeed.
The show got started quickly and Fev kicked things off with some of his newest material from the mixtape "3:10 to Prop". His sister, vocalist Brook Penning, threw her stamp on the performance as well and they put the venue in the mood to party.
Siya was next to grace the stage and, for the first time ever, she brought a live band with her. The band was on point and Siya turned the heat up another notch with her performances. Featured artist Lyric provided her silky smooth vocals on "Fade Away" and "Middle Finger" and the crowd's heads nodded in approval.
I had a great time at the show but I didn't get to stay until the end. It's a good thing I left when I did. This morning it took me 2.5 hours to get to work. Had I not had the little sleep I did, it could have been a nightmare trying to stay awake on the road.
