Stardust Magazine Launch Event

This past summer, some of you might remember that I was a part of a new magazine, Stardust Magazine, founded by Sophie Xu and Justin Julius Santos. I styled one of the spreads, with model, Andrey Prikhodko. This past Friday was the launch of the magazine, it was a really fun experience to meet with everyone who also worked with the premiere issue, which is appropriately called the "Birth" issue! The turn out, at the event was great, the food was great but best of all, the magazine was insanely amazing! I've looked through the magazine about 50 times already, front to back, and back to front! The photos are just so mesmerizing that you have to take double, triple, and quadruple takes! 

The event was held at Curated Goods, a wickedly good vintage store in the Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia. The furniture sold in the store remind me of pieces from one of my favorite television shows, Mad Men, very mid century modern. Everything in the store is authentically vintage, which is really rare to find nowadays with stores like Plato's closet and Buffalo Exchange. If you like authentic vintage finds then definitely check this store out!
