IMG Unveils Programming for MADE x PayPal Event in NYC
The two day event will feature creative forces like Nas, Parris Goebel, Heron Preston, and more.
IMG has announced another must-attend summertime spectacle: MADE x PayPal. The event is set to take place on June 24 and 25 at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park and is curated by Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of New York label Public School. The experience is intent on uniting local communities through fashion shows, performances, DJ sets, and special appearances.
The event’s opening day will greet guests with a performance by Marching Cobras Drumline and Dance, a local nonprofit that enriches young adults through artistic expression. Then, emerging designers Des Pierrot, Maya Wang of Fried Rice, Colin LoCascio and more will showcase designs crafted out of deadstock materials made in collaboration with Public School.
The limited-edition designs will be able to shop with all proceeds going to Young New Yorkers, a nonprofit that provides art-based programs to court-involved youth. There will also be DJ sets by Bearcat, Dime and br0nz3_g0dd3ss of Discwoman.
On the second day, the MADE x PayPal Marketplace will allow guests to browse selections from a range of brands including FUBU, Mia Vesper, Studio 189, among others. The two day event will conclude with a group fashion show featuring emerging talents Kingsley Gbadegesin of K.ngsley, Thermal and K$ace of Whensmokeclears, and Shanel Campbell of Bed on Water. The event is open to the public and guests can register for tickets, here.
