Everyone pretty much is a part of streetwear culture whether they’re artists, skaters, students, or teachers. It does not matter who you are, where you are from or what you do, as long as you love and respect the culture, you are welcome,” explains the promoters.
Outside of the captivating fashion shows, there will be a wide range of other events taking place throughout the 4-day schedule including talent shows, panels, meets-n-greets, contests, and power-shoots.
