The third installment and another successful showing from Square 1 Phx, “Extra Layers” turned out to be a showing that might have been our best one yet.

Autumn ’16 – Pantone Collection
A Unity of Strength, Confidence, and Complexity.

A Square 1 Experience: Vibes & Verbs
Part II
The second installment and another successful showing from Square 1 Phx, “Vibes & Verbs” not only gave us exactly what we were looking for in the poetry portion of the series, but shows us the progression of how the experience is growing.
Branching into event production with a group of other creatives assembling a group called Square 1, “Vibes & Verbs” was Part 2 of a 3 part series of artistic and creative experiences happening at MonOrchid Gallery in downtown Phoenix and we can’t wait to get ready for the next one. Setting the vibe and focused on the poetry and literary portion of the series, the Director of Literary Arts Jay Tatum (@unflawedsoul) took the reigns of hosting this time around and did a good job in putting together a colorful and Afropunk themed environment for everyone to play into. Alongside the other team members of Square 1 PHX Tatiana Young, Brandon Greer, and Felicia Gaines, it turned out to be another great showing that surpassed everyone’s expectations…
Harper’s Intruders: As Told by “Space”
The younger brother of the two, my name is Space. The excited one. The climb up on everything one. The jump in the water instead of testing the temperature first one. That other guy, that’s my brother Skip. Idolized for our personalities and cool ways, we tend to be a stylish duo when we hit the scene together. Anything that dealt with finding the true essence of style and character, we’re about it.

Sprung into Style
If you haven’t caught wind of what happened over this past weekend, Phoenix Fashion Week had its Annual Spring into Style Fashion Show and it was a good reason to go out and show your style. Absolutely one of their best shows yet, I’ll get into my thoughts on that a little later.
For now, let’s get into how I let MY style show at the fashionable event and took from multiple influences to piece together an outfit dripping with My Boy B charisma. A depiction of the character I like my style to exude.
The Dusty Buffalo
Far From Dusty
Enjoying the warm days and the cool nights happening now in Phoenix, this small glimpse of springtime is only here for the moment before the heat waves and haboobs come rolling through, so make sure go out and play a little. As of late, I’ve been on the move putting the pieces back together for my series of art and fashion shows called Square 1 (which you’ll hear more about very soon *hint hint*), and my days off starting to be anything but “off.” Meeting with other team members, directors, artists, potential sponsors, I have to dress the part for multiple occasions.
Sunday Fresh
While we’re still in this wintertime that has real bitter bite to it this year, I think we can all benefit from keeping the sweaters and jackets out a little longer than usual. Breezy and chilly on the outside, I like being able to take off a layer when I get inside and move around. (Believe me, you would too when everywhere you go has that heat cranked up a couple of degrees.)
Brave Wings Fashion Show “Brought It” in 2015
