P.Y.N.K Berri Back to School Sneaker Drive

This past Wednesday I went to a fashionable & fun sneaker drive with a girlfriend of mine at Katra Lounge. 

The concept was great!: Donate a pair of new or gently used sneakers & get in free or give a $5 donation to get in. Once inside there was a DJ playing all the hip hop & rap hits and people were ordering food, smoking hookah & buying drinks all night. 

I had a great time seeing old friends & looking at all the cool outfits people were wearing. I think it was a great after work event. I love things like this that in cooperate fashion & help kids & communities.

Is AutentIcity for the birds?

Fashionistas, stylists, creative and unique indiviDuals.... I'm just curious, in your opinion how many ppl actually care abt purchasing something 'exclusive'? And what does exclusive mean? How much are you willing to spend (depending on itEm of course)? Is it the more expensive is it the more exclusive it is? Does it rlly matter if you're the ONLY one to have something? What if there were only 50 of one thing made, is it still authentic? Ok, wht if there was 500 of one thing made and you have one of the 500,is it still exclusive if u live in a city of 8 million ppl?

Just one designers food for thought on The price of originality.
What is authenticity worth to you?

In a nut shell....

So much has happened since I visited you last.
