G.P.S. Radar: Samantha Alonso
It’s no secret how much I love Kanye’s blog. It’s the only blog I religiously check everyday, and its because I discover the dopppessst most inspiring things! I copped the picture of my future favorite shoes from him yesterday, and today, I found Samantha Alonso, by way of Yeezie’s post of her business partner/boyfriend, Chris Julian. Samantha and Chris own Las Vegas-based store Fruition, the vintage streetwear boutique in the country.
I love the concept behind Fruition. If you read Samantha’s interview, you’ll be moved just as I was too. Fruition was created as a visionary platform for creativity,very much based on the energy of positive thinking, spreading inspiration, and the idea of manifesting your dreams. I absolutely love and live by this exact concept (so much that I will be writing about that shortly), that I have fallen in love not only with their product, but the spirit behind their work. Fruition is currently working with Kanye West to develop his first line, Pastelle, and regular customers include M.I.A., Santogold, DJ A Trak, and many more! Check out their site and peep the fresh!
Whats good Ruby! I won’t be in the bay till nov. so I’ll have to cop ya book then, I be on Kanye’s blog too, I’m in school to be a designer so I love all the post’s on art&design as well as everything else, but is it just me that gets offended by the “girls” category of his blog: http://wrenagade.blogspot.com/2008/10/disappointed.html
I agree. Fruition is a dope store, and most of all good peeps. I was down there for magic a few years back and did an interview with them for a magazine I was working with at the time, and they treated us like fam… I always direct traffic there way. I’m glad you do too!!
