Kings Inspire Kings: Illustrator Ivan Kasaj

King

“Positive feedback from the online community is really motivating for me” – Ivan Kasaj

I recently had the opportunity to be apart of a project composed of digital illustrations, created by up and coming illustrator/artist by the name of Ivan Kasaj. This was my first time working with someone who lives outside of the United States so I wanted to know a little bit more about him and his journey. The Trnava, Slovakia native Ivan Kasaj, is a freelance illustrator who likes to focus on men’s fashion, and ultimately turned his passion into a job.

“Fatigue Inspiration”

When roaming the streets, there are particular images I want to capture.  On this particular day I noticed how many people incorporated fatigue into their look, hence inspiring me to dedicate a post to this pattern.  Being that army fatigue is at an all time high right now in the the fashion industry, It doesn’t take a fashion Guru to notice the amount of merchandise being made in this traditional pattern. - K.R.T.

A King’s Essential: Army Fatigue Cargo

“Blending in while standing out” – Young King 

I chose the army fatigue cargo pant as an “essential” simply because of it’s versatility and standard. This may also be the reason why this pattern is being used now more than ever in the fashion industry.  People  are starting to realize that fatigue is the new black, offering a  unique pop when needed. While at the same time providing a neutral balance to pop color.  This trend has influenced  many brands to produce merchandise such as boots, shoes, bags, ties or  anything they can think of, with this disruptive pattern material.

Street Kings: Soy Cafe

Soy Cafe Street Kings

“One way to a King’s heart is through his stomach” – Young King

The variety of food venues in the Philadelphia allows me to dine at various restaurants and cafes. I enjoy trying new healthy entrees. One place in particular I like to eat at is Soy Cafe. Located in the Northern Libs section of Philadelphia at 630 N. 2nd Street, Soy Cafe offers salads, sandwiches, smoothies and much more. Providing great vegetarian food is one of the strengths of this amazing restaurant, but the stylish people that walks in and out of this place adds to the experience as well. – K.R.T.

“Bring new or used shoes for the less fortunate”.

A great way to kick off our monthly networking event Arts, Beats and Eats for the new year is to have a “Shoe Drive”. For those of you who don’t know we (Shaheed Rucker, Gianni Lee and myself) have been implementing this event since May 2010. It has grown stupendously in the Tri-state area as one of the must highly attended networking events for the young creative entrepreneurs. We have teamed u with Lauren Tilghman & Danielle Jeter to help us further pursue our Arts, Beats and Eats goal into 2012.

Arts, Beats & Eats contributes to the well-being of society through health initiatives and community service efforts. Arts, Beats & Eats is an event where individuals can grow personally and professionally. Monthly themes focus on “giving back” by way of  toy, book, clothing and food drives. Other themes surround educating our guest on health, political and social ills that plague our community. Individuals are able to enjoy live art, spoken word ,  and fine music while shopping different local vendors.

There will be reduced admission with the donation of new or used shoes. All collected will be donated to The Convenant House. Admission with donation is 10$ with and 15$ without a donation.

The event takes place at the Towers at Wyncote (Primo Bacio Ristorante) 8460 Limekiln Pike from 7pm-11pm.
