Presenting itself as a collaboration combining socio-economic issues together with fashion, The Tenderloin x Black Scale collection recently enjoyed an opening at the Black Scale store in San Francisco to further highlight the project. Having recently released the 2nd part to the collection, the event included an in-depth perspective into The Tenderloin Project from organizer and photographer Sean Desmond. The Tenderloin Project was launched back in 2009 as Desmond look to highlight the unfortunate and marginalized living within San Francisco’s Tenderloin district.

Last summer, The Tenderloin Project represented an inquisitive look by Sean Desmond into San Francisco’s poor and marginalized Tenderloin district. The project also featured a collaboration with Black Scale. Part 2 to the original collaboration will take place later next month with five new t-shirts set to release. A print show will take place on April 9th, 2010 at the Medicine Agency as it focuses on a number of collaborative prints which include the likes of Mike Giant and Mark Bode among other creatives.

This video showcases the collaboration between The Tenderloin Project and San Francisco-based Black Scale, as they release two new tees and a hat from The Tenderloin Project, both welcoming the new Black Scale flagship store. The campaign will help raise money for the Tenderloin Community of San Francisco. Video and photography was done by Sean Desmond.
