It presented a special collection featuring VlackBook, Denim & Archives, and Nadir Saeed Art, weaving together stories from Wall Street and Old School Hip Hop. Brian Wade took charge of creative direction, while Silvana Avignoni handled production. Music filled the air thanks to Xevios and Frankie Cordoba, plus a live DJ set from AG From The 303 and MC Sanja Ganja.
