Stopped by the Agenda Trade Show this afternoon.
It's a bunch of streetwear, surf and skate brands all showing previews of their lines for upcoming seasons to buyers and industry insiders (I don't qualify as either one but I tend to sneak into things like this)
Overall, it was bit underwhelming. The large brands have fancy booths and all of their reps act really conceited. The small brands are mostly more down-to-earth but some come across as desperate. I'd like to say I left the show and saw a great up-and-coming brand or two or something really surprising but that really wasn't the case. There aren't too many brands out there, in any field, going against the grain, taking risks and being original.
In hindsight I probably should've taken some non-iPhone pictures of the show itself, or at least of the US Open of Surfing going on across the street. (I'm sorry that I'm such an amateur blogger sometimes. Hopefully I'll get it together soon.)
