what's the rent looking like where you've set up shop? mentioned you were in lower manhattan, right?
Yeah, that was for the F/W 2015 pop up shop that we had in April in the LES. It was just $700 for the whole month to rent out the space for the retail part of it. I prefer doing pop-up shops more than operating a long term physical location cause there are many factors that come into play that I would consider before opening a flagship shop. That's how it is now with alot of newer shops that have opened up in the city. Concepts is a great example. Opened last year, but as a pop-up just to test the waters for a limited time. Now that they've done that over a select period they can now establish themselves as a permanent fixture. ONLY NY moved from online to a physical store in the LES over a year/two year period. Especially considering my brand has been picking up steam on a small level and can't be compared to others as far as reach demographic wise, I prefer to do it this way.
Next one is going to be spring 2016. WE're (myteam) and I am preparing for it now.

The pop-up shop for this fall was basically a visibility test and a debut for the NY market, east coast, US in general.

Who is Temisan Adoki?
That's me actually. :tongue: Yeah. I can only get so low key on these forums before people find out who I am.

I guess I could consider myself somewhat known now with the blog, and label, and my music, and just did an interview two weeks ago, so imma have to chill on the coli after a while.

Seem like you have an actual business plan and product instead of the typical bigcartel sites. Keep it up

edit: saw your site is actual bigcartel. Spend the $10 to get your own domain. the bigcartel ecommerce set up is fine but the link may deter people from shopping at your site.

can you make some max b inspired shirt?
I'll buy. oww oww
I actually had an idea do some Max B inspired stuff/related stuff. I do customs/one offs so no biggie.

My thing is doing nice and tasteful odes to all eras of hip-hop with some subtle references placed here and there in my designs.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I'll be honest, that design in particular is something I did back in 2008...I just made some minor touches it for the new stuff I'm doing now. I've always made sure to have products, atleast samples, produced just for a personal archive. In the past I was showing my designs as they were just jpeg files at the time and showed them on forums on here and some got jacked so I've made sure to have stuff made on hand at all times to show off before anything.
