THE UNITY MANSION SHOW and CONCERT went down for the first time Aug 28-29th in Las Vegas. During the same week as the famous MAGIC Convention, The UNITY MANSION show was an invite-only trade event that showcased 23 of the top streetwear brands in the game.

Crooks N Castles, Garbege, TBG, Ransom, X-LARGE, SSUR and more all came together to show their new lines and give people a bit of culture with some dope art installations. The event was really well put together, and offered a completely different feel from the other stuffy and old clothing conventions that are usually going on.

Throughout the trade show multiple DJ’s rotated and kept an eclectic vibe going with music ranging from Gnarls Barkley to Black Sabbath. The highlight of the Mansion had to be the all around atmosphere and the photo gallery by Jonathan Mannion, many of the photographers’ finest photos were on display and for sale during the two-day event. The strongest collections of the show were Crooks N Castles, SSUR, X-Large and Red Clay.

Retailers, celebrities and clothing industry vets filed in and out of the house all day partaking in appetizers and mingling, some people even took the opportunity to swim in the sparkling pool. Needless to say , you could smell the aromatherapy of choice in the air at various times poolside, as well. Overall the Unity Mansion Show was an incredible event that offers a change of pace and atmosphere to ordinarily stale trade show environment.
