@AKOOClothing Holiday Party
AKOO Clothing, rapper T.I.’s clothing line, had a holiday party last Friday, but it wasn’t all about yule tide self-indulgence. This private party was a canned food drive for the the Food Bank for New York City, and a donation of a minimum of 2 cans was mandatory to attend.
During the jubulence of the holidays, it’s all to easy to overlook those that are less fortunate. But the fact is, there are many people in our own city that go to bed hungry at night. Enter Food Bank, which helps provide 400,000 free meals a day for New Yorkers in need.
The event, held at SL in the Meatpacking District, featured a Grey Goose open bar and an evening of music and good times.
Here are some shots from the night:

3) What’s the response Golden Empire has received from the people? => GE- Its been great.We are a small indie brand that doesn’t do any crazy marketing or promotion so its awesome to see people rockn and reppin our clothes because its something unique and not because everybody else is wearing it.
4) What’s your personal favorite piece of clothing from your clothing line? => GE- tough choice.”Lucky Kenzo” is my shit but I would have to choose the “Night Owl” me and my buddy Cal came up with that for one of my original designs,its a classic.

Be Optimistic @Lifeisgood
“Do what you like. Like what you do.” Very well said motto by the company, Life Is Good. The apparel and accessories company has a mission to spread the power of optimism. The company was founded by brothers Bert and John Jacobs and since 1989, when they designed their first tee, the company has spread across the US (based in New England). Jake is the famous face for Life is good who along with everyone else “keep the good vibes flowing.”
Above is a “Football Season” tee I got for my dad and below is my new fuchsia mug I just bought for work and a zip-up I got for my mama.
A lot of their products have positive messages and I own a bunch of their tees and sweaters, which are super comfortable.
What this company also does is fundraise to help kids overcome life-threatening challenges, which include violence, illness, and poverty. The Life is good Playmakers is what they call it and to fundraise for this they have a 2-day festival every year with music, fun activities, and just a great experience.
I love their stuff! Check ‘em out on Facebook.
