There were very few women to break through the male dominated streetwear scene of the early aughts. Vashtie Kola remains among the most iconic of them all. The first woman to design her own Jordan back in 2010, Vashtie has gone on to start her own brand Violet and direct music videos for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$ and Drake.
She sits down with long time friend and BoH host Angelo Baque (Founder, Awake NY) to reflect on the years they shared together back on the scene. From shop kids to creative directors to label founders, the two trace through what steps it took to get to the top.

Kim Shui

Sage Elsesser has always been something special - more than a skater, more than a model, more than a musician. Sage thrives in the blur of his own artistry. Lately he’s found his lane as Navy Blue, and as you’ll find out in this episode his influences run as deep as his lyricism. Most recently, Elsesser's seventh studio album Ways of Knowing was released to critical acclaim under his own label, Freedom Sounds.
BoH host Angelo Baque (Founder, Awake NY) has been with Sage since the very beginning. Together they trace the roots of their relationship, as well as Sage’s own part in introducing Earl Sweatshirt to Tyler the Creator.

What is MSCHF? Who are MSCHF? Performance artists? Streetwear mavens? A bunch of pranksters? The only way to truly find out is to go straight to the source. And even then it’s a little confusing. But like everything else the collective puts out - that seems to be done exactly by design.
On this episode, host Angelo Baque (Founder, Awake NY) sits down with Lukas Bentel and Kevin Wiesner - two members of the enigmatic group behind the Big Red Boot, Satan Shoes, and 88 Holes - to try and piece it all together.
PLUS 
Angelo speaks with Sira, a multi-disciplinary artist out of NYC and her mentor, Ebonie Ward - CEO of the management firm 11th and Co - about the importance of mentorship and how you can use the relationship to navigate to success.

From a lower aortic aneurysm to a controversial and extremely public departure from his role as Creative Director of Supreme - his near death experience brought unique lessons that are still applicable to even those who are just starting out. 
On this episode, host Angelo Baque (Founder, Awake NY) and Tremaine discuss subduing the ego, trusting in your brand, and the moral responsibilities of being a storyteller.
