After three days of non-stop meeting brands & bloggers, exchanging cards, seeing awesome product, and live blogging the heck out of PROJECT New York this year, we’re still buzzing from the high (or maybe from one too many cocktails). We’ve rounded up our top 10 favorite moments in the show with visual aid so you can catch up! Check them out below.
10. This littly doggy (and, we admit, these gold sparkling platform shoes).
09. The blogger photo shoot (though we got jealous of the pineapple another blog used in their props).
08. Free (really strong) margaritas at the surf bar!
07. Denim Therapy getting listed at the top of the blog wall!
06. Doctrine Denim‘s awesome denim aprons (they even gifted us a few)!
05. Homemade baked goods from Stitch’s Jeans (adorable & delicious).
04. SP?NGLISH (?) taco truck after party! See more photos here.
03. Finally meeting & hanging out with The Denim Guy!
02. Sporadic dance party, feat. Josh from Toyplane & the girls of NMRKT.

Budding t-shirt streetwear label SP?NGLISH (?) is here to outfit you in their finest humor and brightest colors (and to promote peace, love, and guacamole… no joke). We had a good laugh at their booth between their orange v-neck Buddha Madre tee and the apparently best-selling Green Go (insert eco symbol here) shirt. You may need a basic comprehension of spanish language slang for it to make sense, but SP?NGLISH (?) is a justifyable reason in itself to add such unceremonious colloquial study to your to-do list. Each shirt comes in an awesome pop-art inspired mini paint can, emblazoned with a neon logo. You’ll most likely be the only one in your social circle to own a “witty” t-shirt hat actually draws audible laughter—and they’ll look great with all of your denim. Score one for designer Simon Guindi Cohen! Check out more below.
Stay tuned for our video coverage of Simon & SP?NGLISH (?)!
