TAG Records Style Blog reports on the scenes seen at the 2008 Magic Convention
I arrived in Vegas on Saturday, and it was on, my chaperon (who brought a fully charged camera) and I to make it happen. I had no choice that’s what I was there to do.
So I showered, and started the process. Sprayed myself with my “Make move” by Tag and dawned my finest couture and headed to the Ritz Carlton. There I saw the newly crowned king of Hip Hop and queen of New York, Jay Z and Beyonce.. The event was named circ de Jay Z, I missed the dinner, but the atmosphere at the after party was sexy, drinks flowed and food served, what more can you ask for??
The following day I spend the time networking and making plans for the night and the rest of the week. I met colleagues for dinner to discuss my reasons for being in Sin City.
Monday marks the beginning of the Men Apparel Gild In California a.k.a. MAGIC. That’s when my hunt for what New, Fresh and Fashion Forward. I started at the top and ended at the street wear. I was sometimes Surprised, sometimes not impressed and sometimes asking myself why did some of these vendors spend money to Las Vegas Who am I to talk? who died and left me lord of fashion? That’s what some may think but I know good from bad fashions. That’s how I make my living …and damn good one. Oops! Did I say that??
Night is upon me, Monday oh yea its Complex and Giant with Baby Phat parties, which one do I attend? I will do both! …and did I do them. Looking stunning, by the way, did you expect anything else? I partied with the first lady of Phat Fashions and her super star beau, Kimora and Djimon. What a night.
Tuesday was the crème de la crème of my trip- The Project convention. I was totally at home, quality tailoring, great cuts and forward fashions. I felt anyone that came to this show would have the same full filling experience. I stayed there the entire day, there was so much to see and free giveaways. I even locked down a gig! Go Roger!
Overall the trip was a great success for me. Can’t wait to see what next year brings! MTC
