The word on the street is that I’m her favorite. I mean I was attached to her hip for about ten years as I was laying the groundwork to becoming the man I would be (lol). They say she babies me. I don’t agree. She just looks out. That’s probably one of the more awesome things about coming home. To be with two people, that are always looking out. I try to cherish that. Thanks Mom. Especially.
My trip to New York last week was awesome. One of the highlights of the trip included an opportunity to sit in on a meeting with menswear designer, Michael Bastian. Michael was named the 2011 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year and has been designing his own collection for the past six years. As his brand continues to grow, Michael also designs special collections for GANT. Why was I in this meeting? More to come …

The idea behind Unionmade is simple. It’s quality. The clothing, shoes, accessories, books, and grooming supplies. I had a chance to stop by the Unionmade shop a few weeks ago while I was in San Francisco. I love grabbing inspiration from flagship stores, garments, whatever. I was very close to grabbing a Golden Bear jacket or a Levi’s Vintage Flannel Shirt but I decided to keep those monies in my pocket. 
Check out Unionmade’s website or store if you’re ever in San Fran.
I’m beyond excited to head out to San Francisco on Monday morning! The purpose of the trip is to attend the “Ahead of the Fashion”(AF) event that takes place on Tuesday at the Julia Morgan Ballroom. “Ahead of the Fashion” (AF) is a growth accelerating program for early stage technology start-ups in the consumer, fashion, and retail industries, as well as fashion designers. It promotes a monthly event and in its accelerator program it provides a selected group of companies advice and access to capital in partnership with industry experts and investors that have experience and relationships in the technology and consumer industries. I sent in an inquiry concerning submitting an application for the last cycle, and even though we didn’t get ours in, they still invited us to attend their May event (we aren’t pitching but still)! God is so awesome. As the founder of a fashion brand that sells through an online platform/community, it’s hard to find incubators and resources that are directly aligned with our company. Today, most tech incubators are focused on disruptive and innovative tech companies, not consumer goods. While most fashion incubators are strictly focused on fashion designers. So to find an accelerator that is focused on both is amazing.
