AFTERWORK SHUTS DOWN SPRING PLACE!

LABEL OWNED BY FORMER DAFT PUNK MANAGER, GILDAS LOAËC, AND ARCHITECT MASAYA KUROKI COLLIDES NEW TALENT WITH FASHION AT #AFTERWORK

New York, NY – October 19th – New York Fashion Week may be over but that doesn’t mean the parties need to stop. Kitsuné Musique – the boutique French record label and fashion brand – kicked off their Fall #Afterwork series last night at Spring Place in downtown Manhattan (where Jeremy Scott paid similar music x fashion homage at NYFW in September). Always one for championing new talent, #Afterwork showcased four new talents in hip hop last night including Milwaukee’s own IssDARR (“Sugar,” “Too Bad”) and rising Maryland rapper Innanet James who rose to prominence with his summer hit “Summer” off his debut EP Quebec Place earlier this year. Joining the two MCs were DJs Austin Mills and Thelonious Martin. Spring Place was teeming with crowds from both worlds wanting to blow off some steam after a long day’s work.
