Tonight is the Bling magazine Night Flea Market at Platoon Kunsthalle and as I'm one of the sellers, I decided to reform a bunch of denim jackets & vests using black feathers, tassle and other scraps of things I had around the house. I wore it with my spanking new Bailey fedora that my friend Burger gave me for Christmas and my black MVIO cuff that was actually the invitation to MVIO by Han Sang Hyuk's SS2011 Collection last fall.
The t-shirt is just a scabby old deep V from American Apparel that I reformed by pulling apart the threads to make a see-through stripe the runs up the right side all the way to the shoulder. A bit scandalous if worn alone due to the nipple action but it doesn't bother me as I'm no stranger to scandal ;).
The flask was a present from my friend Sharon who helped to write an article about me in NYLON Guys September 2010 issue. Love carrying around that flask because who knows when a little social lubricant will come in handy.
My friend Coco found the leather wallet pouch for me in Beijing. It's hung on a solid brass Japanese jean ring that I've had forever (lifetime guarantee) which I bought in Tokyo. The cute little Shamrock Care Bear key chain is another gift from Burger.
I picked up these cheap cheap white sneakers on Brick Lane in London for only 5 pounds. I decided to reform them vintage tattoo style with the sparrows holding 'XOXO' banners and the knuckle tatt style writing. I was way happy with the result even though I know they are going to get disgusting dirty in like one night.
Here are a few of the denim goodies that I shredded, tassle, safety pinned, studded, cropped, etc for the flea market. (all except for the floral bedazzled jacket which was that awesome when I found it). I've had those feathers forever after wearing them on a blazer with a fishnet mask for Whitenoize 5 at Club Mansion. Glad I finally got a chance to make good use out of them. Stop by Platoon tonight and give me some money y'all!
