"PARISH" THE LOVE FOR CLOTHES
While I was in Chicago, I had to send regrets to an event to which I was really looking forward to attending. It's the launch of my friend Tony Shellman's new clothing line Parish Clothing Co, a contemporary men's collection, displaying artistic vision and creative design. Tony's wife Nichole is one of my best friends who I deem one of my "Amazing Grace"s per a book I'm shopping titled "Big Willies and Amazing Graces: gay men and their best girlfriends". 
I have known them for about a decade now and had the privilege of singing at their wedding. We all support each other in our respective endeavors and I wished I could have been there in person to annoint this wonderful new venture, which comes on the well-worn heels of his last successful line ENYCE from which he's parted ways and is starting a new. 
The Spring 2007 Collection is inspired - in some part - by the '80s and I understand the party that was thrown to ring in this new company featured '80s rap stars/icons Big Daddy Kane, Melle Mel, and Ralph McDaniels were in attendance. 
Diddy's mom Janice Combs, Q Tip and DJ Clark Kent too were in the house, which was the trendy Westside Loft, where I understand the decor immediately evoked a feeling of '80s nostalgia (READ: When graffiti decorated every NYC subway train and b-boys were breakin' to RUN DMC and THE SUGAR HILL GANG. It was a house party from back in the day. Big Daddy Kane actually treated the crowd to an impromptu performance as Marly Marl played his classic "Warm It Up Kane" and Crazy Legs from Rock Steady Crew performed as well - morphing the night into perhaps a sequel to "Krush Groove" or "Breakin'". Parish Clothing Co. was conceived in May 2006. This company represents a community of brand builders, young designers, and artists who have created a new, revolutionary line that represents a shared vision of creative resonance. 
GOOD LUCK, TONY! I'll be rooting and wearing PARISH! Plus, hook a brother up! I hear your gift bags included the "Totally '80s Edition of Trivial Pursuit".
