Bobby of Kitsune Noir got a chance to check out the opening of the Generic Man pop-up shop in Los Angeles the other night at Space 15 Twenty. The event was in conjunction with the launch of Generic Man’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, bringing together fashion, design and some really well-dressed people. Many of the structures were made of recycled materials like wood and cardboard, plus some of the furniture can be bought right there and then. The shoes were flawless but to further enhance the atmosphere, there are Arkitip issues laying around as well as a SUPER sunglasses display.
