FlashLab Pics from HIFI Pop-Up Shop

HIFI Coop

The Hawaii Fashion Incubator pop up shop at Ala Moana was a huge success. We met lots of loyal fans. Each of the ten nights during the pop up shop was filled with events, workshops, photos, celebrity guests, the governor, fashion shows and parties. At the end, some of us decided to go out to celebrate at Edition Hotel in Waikiki.

CHANCE Fashion Show

HI Fash presented Chance: where the art of fashion innovates. This is a monthly networking event for emerging artists and fashion professionals. We showcased our summer collection: Sirens and Sailors on the runway.

R.I.P. Sion Milosky

Being a surfer, I don't think it's ever easy to turn a head when you hear of another surfer passing away. Weather they were a top ASP World Tour competitor, Pipeline specialist, big wave charger, video/photo surfer, or even just one of the locals at your local spot; when you hear of their untimely passing it always hits close to home.
Sion may have only recently started to gain media recognition for his accomplishments in surfing, but for a long time I have always heard his name on the surface...especially when it came to surfing big waves. I've seen photos and video footage of waves he has ridden and 99% of those waves would put fear in any surfers eyes, but watching him ride them and seeing his composure you would think he was riding a wave no bigger than 5ft. It seemed effortless and controlled no matter how late or critical his take offs were. He was truly a gifted person...
More than just a big wave charger, he was a family man raising two daughters with his wife Suzi. From the articles I've read since his passing, it seemed he always made sure his family was taken care of before he went out to surf. My condolences, deepest sympathy, and warmest wishes go out to his family and friends. Sion will forever ride the biggest waves in our hearts and memories and so will his legendary status as one of the premier big wave riders ever. Aloha Sion Milosky

20X20

See and listen to the 20X20 presentation by Ed Fernandez, founder and first mate of the Organik, at Pecha Kucha during the opening night of The Coop brought to you by Hawaii Fashion Incubator on March 18 from 6:30-9:30 PM at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu.

What is Pecha Kucha and 20X20? Read below!

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

Back To Nature

Check out a video I created for our Spring 2011 Collection appropriately titled, Back To Nature, since our designs are inspired by nature. I'm working on an Organik presentation for Pecha Kucha on March 18 from 6:30 PM - 09:30 PM at the Hawaii Fashion Incubator (HIFI) pop-up shop at the Ala Moana Center, Level 1 (near Old Navy) from March 18 - 27. Local designers, including Organik, will have a retail space to sell their latest designs. Workshops, mixers, fashion shows and community events are scheduled during the ten day event.

Sunday, March 6, 2011 was the final stop of the Hawaii Island Surfing Associations(H.I.S.A.) contest season. Held at Banyans in pretty dismal 1-2ft surf, at least the conditions were good all day and the contestants were all doing their best to impress the judges. Organik Ambassador, Abraham Shouse took it down in the SUP finals with a first place win. Congratulations Abraham on your win!!! GOOD STUFF
