If you haven't heard of TISA, chances are you haven't watched TV or paid attention to the streets lately. Taz Arnold is the creative mind behind many of your favorite artists' wardrobes, under the artistry of the luxury brand MCM, and now his own lovechild - TI$A. He has collaborated musically with the likes of Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label with the group Sa-Ra. Karl Lagerfield ring a bell? Bottom line - he is a force to be reckoned with.
The night was very mellow, the usual skater/sneaker head crowd was ever present. My little brother was definitely working the crowd, networking for his crew - Anarchy Dreams. I am so proud of him! He even got Taz's contact information, that is saying A-LOT!
Taz drew the TI$A logo on every autograph he signed - and he signed a LOT! He also raffled off his latest line of snap backs and fitted caps, as well as t-shirts.
Taz: Are you Seminole? I'm askin' - cuz I don't know what Seminoles look like.
Me: I'm black! Seminoles are Native American!
Taz: Yeah, but you LOOK Native American!
Me: ((Faints))
It was a great night - and I was definitely inspired to work on my own pieces. I've read his interviews and watched videos on him, and I really and truly respect him as a creative entity. I have to love and respect big named artists and designers who take the time out to remember the people who got them to the top. Taz has a lot of success ahead of him, and I'm glad to have met him along the way. I know I haven't seen the last of him...
