Different from the BillieYoung stuff, Matt Bruening things are a little more...complex. Inspired by rock curvetures; that thin median between hard and soft where a structural pieces like rock can still have a gentle appearance. Basically driving pass Makapu'u / Cockroach Cove area with all the rocks and swirly walls alongside the roads, and all the concave formations really caught my eye just driving thru the other week and thought that would be a good interpretation of what I feel right now. Weaves/CrossHatching signature MB steeze is making that comeback.I couldn't decide what "season" to design for, so basically I'm bring that "you have to live in Hawaii to know" that kind of steeze into this. So I am basically trying to design for that season between fall AND spring. (aka Hawaii year long summer; but with pieces for those occassional cold nights.)
All this and more happening December 18th, at the Fresh Cafe Warehouse. Performances by The JumpOffs, The Deadbeats, and The Girlfriends will rock the house. And DJ Eskae (of Nocturnal Sound Crew) and DJ Nicky Savage of LA will be spinning the night away. And EVERYONE is invited. And when I say everyone, I mean your little sister and your Grandma Annie can come on DOWN! (Party brought to you by SuperCW, Ground Up Pirates, Ground Up Agency, and Fresh Cafe [located: 831 Queens St.])
