BOXING KITTEN RESORT 2010
August 7, 2010
One of our favorite independent fashion lines, Boxing Kitten, showcases a delightful modern vibrancy done with the classic Africa prints. Those are only some of our favorite aspects of the line; the vintage cuts & mixed patterns additionally make the clothing that much more wonderful & unorthodox. Designer, Maya Lake, explains, “The vintage inspiration behind Boxing Kitten celebrates the spirit & lives of women who have come before, & the playfulness & vibrancy of each piece captures the women of today & the future…”
Boxing Kitten actually released their Resort 2010 lookbook earlier this summer, & it’s not a case of RI$I$M being late, but a matter of not being an active site at the time. Considering that BK holds the freshest collections around, there’s no way we could pass up on featuring these fine works of art.

Femme hiphop DJ hailing out of Detroit, DJ MEL WONDER, will soon be dropping her first mixtape, “Melephant Wonders.” Here we show you a preview of the album cover composed by none other than the D’s legendary graffiti artist, Sintex.
Mel is also a sole member of 5eGallery‘s weekly female hiphop event, The Foundation, held every Tuesday evening.
In Detroit on August the 13th, the magnificent Mel Wonder is throwing her “Mixtape Masquerade Birthday Release Party” at Detroit’s own 5eGallery located at 2661 Michigan Ave. So bring a mask! I suggest hitting up Nneka Jackson of B-Flyy Creations for fantastic hand-made face masks.
