abb interview video: matthew waldman

the power of twitter: a few months ago i was monitoring "nooka" chatter on twitter and came across a thread from jabari johnson his wearing my designs, and i contacted him and got to know more about his incredible DC based network. andre is part of that network and he was kind enough to make an effort to come to nyc to interview me for his video magazine series.

the interview was conducted at our pop up show at den on 330 east 11th street 2 weeks ago. i was given the chance to showcase our new line of belts (the strip) and wallets (AO) as well as our fragrance. it's difficult for me to watch as i HATE the sound of my own voice, but doesn't everyone hate the sound of their own voice recorded? that said, i hope you enjoy it. remember, the pop up shop is open until august 16th, so check it out while you can! the frank nan designed interior is really impressive.

the video itself is enough of a plug for andre's skills, but seriously, check out his vimeo page [link below] and hire him for your videography needs, especially if you're in the DC area.

also, don't forget to vote for nooka at pulchra. the voting process may seem a bit tedious, but it is actually really simple. simply drag nooka to the number 1 spot, if that's your choice of course and choose the other 9 objects until you have completed your list. In order for your vote to be valid, you will need to complete the details form. remember you can only vote ONCE PER DAY, so make sure to log on the next day and do it all over again. link is here!
