Event Featured BC ONE: Showdown in NYC

November 19, 2009 - 3:48 pm

Last night’s Red Bull BC One at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City was a highly anticipated event. As the biggest one-on-one b-boy competition in the world, being selected as a finalist is an honor in itself. Tickets sold out in record time, the line stretched across several blocks, & the crowd waited excitedly & impatiently to storm the venue.

Inside, sixteen b-boys from eleven countries battled it out for the number one spot, but despite a strong showing from the U.S.A. courtesy of Kid Glyde (NYC), Thesis (Seattle), Morris (Sacramento) & Cloud (L.A.), they were no match for one edgy Frenchman: Lilou.

He was totally merciless, bringing a combination of mirthful spirit & sick power moves. He defeated the Ukraine’s Kolobok in the first round, destroyed Thesis in the quarterfinals, & absolutely decimated Morris in the semis.

Patricia Field is like the fairy godmother of every capricious, madly-dressed fashionista on the planet. She is legendary in scope, her name falling in alongside the likes of Betsey Johnson & Vivienne Westwood when it comes to women who do it their way & succeed.
Born & raised in New York City, she has been a Manhattan icon since the late 1970′s, when she started her own line of clothing & accessories for club kids, ravers & other wild personalities. However, she started to really cement her place on the international scene when she began work on the now legendary Sex & The City. While she worked alongside other stylists, one of them long-term girlfriend Rebecca Weinberg, Field was always at the helm, pointing the way. Her adventurous, creative & fun way of looking at clothing & how we use it to express ourselves suddenly had a worldwide audience & a cult following. As the show became more & more popular, she took bigger sartorial risks, making enormous flowers, a mix of high- & low-end, & a super-colorful palette much more accessible, exciting & desirable.
