Love + Grit On the Road: Miami Art Week Edition

Visit Philadelphia’s Love + Grit Podcast helped to highlight some of Philly’s top creatives in fashion, music and art in South Beach...

PARTAGER

Love + Grit: On the Road brought a slice of Philadelphia to Miami on December 2, 2022.

Miami Art Week visitors had the opportunity to embrace the most creative parts of Philadelphia as they:

  • explored an audio-visual journey of Darrell Alston, owner of Bungee Oblečení Footwear, highlighting the challenges and victories that took Bungee from a shoe design hand-sketched in prison to being a breakout brand on the shelves of Foot Locker and Neiman Marcus. (Hear more from Alston on Visit Philadelphia’s podcast, Love + Grit Season 3, Episode 14)
  • met Philadelphia artists Symone Salib, Lawren Alice, Alloyius McIlwaine and Tiff Davis x AmericanQueenTJD who merged art and fashion by creating custom Bungee kicks displayed onsite as sculpture, and
  • vibed with Philadelphia party starters Rich Medina, Joshua Lang and DJ Matpat as they curated the sonic backdrop for the event. (You can hear from Rich Medina on the latest episode of Love + Grit par cliquer ici.)

An Audio/Visual Journey of Darrell Alston

Bungee Vêtements is a luxury sneaker and athleisure brand with a true Philly underdog story. Founder Darrell Alston began sketching shoe designs (250 of them to be exact) while incarcerated. Upon his release from prison, Alston launched the Bungee brand (a nod to his life’s many ups and downs) in 2018, weathering a number of challenges to catch the eye of supporters and execs at Foot Locker and Neiman Marcus. The stuff of sneakerhead dreams, Alston’s flashy designs are meant to be conversation starters.

A season three guest on the Love + Grit podcast, Alston and his incredible story were also featured in an audio/visual tour à la Love + Grit On the Road: Miami Art Week Edition event in South Beach. Click the button below to take the tour.
