The evening kicked off with the premier of the Adicolor documentary which was open for the VIPs only. A video that featured an interview with most of the designers and their ideas behind their designs was shown. At 8 PM, the event started with people forming a queue outside to get into the venue.
With live band music from “Black Sabbath” (not really unfortunately), DJs, SuicideGirls, and of course the free beers and snacks, the general atmosphere of the night was simply fasinating and enjoyable.
For the people who went to the party in a pair of Adidas and did a photoshot with the Crooked Tongues’ crew for their “What One’s Wearing” section, you will get a free pair of tongues and laces in Orange, which will not be included in the package when it gets released. Rumoured is that they are limited to 500 sets.
