Threshold Recap: Pollex World

Continuing our recap of the “Threshold” Fashion Expo, we finally enter the mind of Pollex World, with some of their latest experiments being unleashed to the masses.

🏕️💯👁️

The musical choices added a lot to the tone of Pollex Worlds presentation, making it feel like a true experience from beginning to end, we really felt that shit. It was a nice touch to see all the experiments from a solo aspect, and then once again in a twin aspect, showing off the duality of the looks.

🏕️💯🎁

Looks 1 & 2 gave off mad “The Shining” & “US” vibes. The patterns on both dresses both feature a row of white buttons down the center, adding a break in the pattern. Both these looks worked solo, but together it all comes together.

🏕️💯 🎰

Look 3 was pulled off by the one and only 7Sinclair. The cut and sew upholstery pants might be under seen due to the babushka and the face surgery 1 black hoodie, but it is the crown jewel of the look.

🏕️💯✝️

Look 4 is reminiscent to a nun. The crucifix necklace makes the whole look connect. Really solid work on the mid section of the piece.

🏕️💯😵

Look 5 is next level. From the leather upper to the flannel like skirt.

🏕️💯🪐
🏕️💯🦅

Looks 6 & 7 are two of my favorites from the show. Dinero Tarantino snapped with Look 6, I really dig the almost patchwork jeans. Really solid jacket combination. It’s all about the pants for Look 7, but the face surgery 2 hoodie stands out.

🏕️💯🔮
🏕️💯⚱️

The pants for Looks 8 & 9 are crazy. Look 8 as almost spider web like pants. Not sure how they made those but it’s a game changer. The homie Ethereal pulled off Look 9, featuring a ripped pant and goggle combination.

🏕️💯🏫

Look 10 features a really dope crew neck like piece featuring Pollex World propaganda, furthering the point that they are always with us. The torn skirt times the whole look together.

🏕️💯☎️📟

Looks 11 & 12 really clicked when they came o it as a duo. The all white dress shirt features more propaganda, that can also be seen on the jacket for Look 12.

🏕️💯👁️

The whole show came together once the good Doctor rolls up on the scene, rocking cut and sewn adjustments length water proof pants.

One of my favorite shows of the entire event. The whole vibe was really an experience. The connection at the end made it that much sweeter.

Whenever in doubt Pollex World is there to guide us. If at first we do not understand, Pollex will eventually reveal.

Threshold Recap: Muse By Pablo

After taking a 2 Year break from fashion shows, Muse By Pablo is back like they never left for the Threshold event, presenting “American Wedding”.

Famous for their comfy shorts featuring your favorite sports teams jersey or other embroidery, Muse By Pablo went high fashion with their presentation, but if your a true fan of the brand you can see touches of their esthetic and themes in each piece. Going with the “American Wedding” concept each model representing a participant in the wedding.

🏕💯🕯

Look 1 featured a shrouded figure in red. Muse By Pablo snapped on the sleeves during their entire presentation, most notably on this piece.

🏕💯 🐚

Look 2 featured an all white look with sea shell pieces for the bra. The way the model unveiled the look under the white drapes was what really sold it.

🏕️💯 😷

The facial coverings where also on full display especially with Look 3. The skirt that transitions into a half pant leg was a really dope look, fitting for Muse.

🏕💯💎

This all black piece for Look 4 was a bit for subdued, but again Muse continues the theme of very long sleeves add a baroque tone to each piece.

🏕💯⚖️

Look 5 was a favorite of mine. The face covering was reminiscent of some of the work Ye did for the “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” roll out. I really dig how most of models were shrouded at first, subtly revealing themselves to the audience.

🏕💯🔥

The icon Famous Kid Brick rocked Look 6, playing the part of one of the groomsmen. Brick added mad gravitas to the show. I really dig the layers featured on his fit.

🏕💯👺

Barley Legal’s own Kid Dre pulled off Look 7. I feel this one had the most current iteration of Muse By Pablo’s trademarks. The barque imagery on the chest piece is reminiscent to some of their past looks, which made me pop when I saw those themes make a return on a larger scale.

🏕💯🗿

Look 8 was a standout more me. The different cuts on the tux where really dope and unique. Probably the most traditional piece in the show but the approach they took with it might have made it the most relatable.

🏕💯 👰‍♀️ 🤵‍♂️

The Bride and Groom closed the show with looks 9 & 10. Once all the pieces are in place it was time for the bride and groom to make their entrance. The white tux on the groom was a nice contrast, I really dig the design on the side. The brides look gave a modern touch, to the traditional bridal gown we are used to.

🏕💯🌸

It was really touching to see Juan, Migna, and Baby Pablo make their way down the run way, soaking in the entire moment as a family. It’s been a minute since Muse By Pablo did a fashion show, but they didn’t skip a beat, continuing to edge their name in Tampa Fashion History for years to come.

THRESHOLD

Six of Tampa Bays top designers come together under one roof for the “THRESHOLD” fashion exhibition at The Factory, featuring Pollex World, LittleBull4U, Cowboy By Takeo, Muse By Pablo, Garbäj Clothing, and Made By Moose.

🏕💯🤍
Enter The Void

Threshold- The Place or point of entering or beginning. Despite doing game chaining work in the past, all the designers are stepping up their game to push the boundaries of their art even forward.

🏕💯🐃
Check out the color scheme

LittleBull4U always brings top tier cuts and fabrics to her design. Many of the pieces have that nomad vibe to them, allowing them to be worn in all climates and situations. If the tease of the color schemes Candice will be using in the show doesn’t get you hype, seeing them in the flesh will.

🏕💯🤠
21st Century Cowboy

Cowboy By Takeo has been on one heck of a run so far in 2022, from dream collabs to the Somewhere Store retail space, fam is on it. I know the homie has been working hard on some signature pieces for the show.

🏕💯🗿
Team Glock

Moose as been going crazy with the jewelry as of late, but don’t get it twisted he can’t still whip up a whole fit from scratch. I am curious to see how his jewelry will be incorporated into the show, as well as how the models rock the pieces.

🏕💯👁
In Pollex We Trust

Pollex World always brings us comfort with their designs. It always seems to be just what we need without us even knowing it at the time. Besides the pieces I am hype to see what Pollex brings as far as their presentation goes.

🏕💯🏰♻️
Follow the Orbs

The good people over at Garbäj Clothing will be blessing us with some brand new designs of their own. I missed the last Garbäj show that was held over at Coastal some time ago but I will be front and center for this experience.

🏕💯🌸
Muse

It’s been a minute since Muse By Pablo has done a fashion show, brining expectations through the roof. They got the short game on lock but I am excited to see what new cuts and pieces the dynamic duo brings to the show.

🏕💯❤️‍🔥

Sounds will be curated by the one and only DJ Donnie Luv. Donnie has been in her bag as of late dropping her own live mixes as well as $lugg Mixes here and there. She set the vibe at the last LittleBull4U event, and I expect this to be no different.

🏕💯🐯

Lucky Tigre will be in the building, mixing up some game changing food combinations that will have your pallet drooling for more. I know they try to make a curated menu to match each event they are at but I know if Takeo had anything to say about it that Okonomiyaki will be on the menu.

VIP

What more can I say this is some big energy right here! The fact that all these amazing designers will all be under one room is an achievement in itself. There’s no way you can bitch about Tampa Bay not having a thriving fashion scene with events like this being meticulously executed. Pick up your tickets today and catch me in VIP on 9/17 at The Factory from 5-10 p.m.
