For our last Knorts Hangout, we had the pleasure of hosting local artist, Yung Kazi, and his friends at the studio. Not only was his performance an absolute five stars, but the vibes he and his friends filled the party with also couldn't have been more perfect and fun! If you didn't make it out, you totally missed out...sorry, not sorry.
We particularly wanted to collaborate with Yung Kazi because of his multidimensional artistic abilities. He's obviously a master at creating music we want to keep on repeat, but he is also a very talented claymation artist (a new one too!). Needless to say, we had to learn more about him and his process...
For the launch of our new rental program, we teamed up with our favorite emerging musician, Nicole Miglis of BatryPowr to host our very first Hangout where guests enjoyed an evening of dressing up in our designs, posing for pictures, and hanging out while listening to her live, battery powered synthesizer performance.
A few of my friends use Rent-The-Runway and they all can afford to buy those clothes, but they’d rather rent them to have easy access to variety each month.

The first night I’d arrived in his city the transition from “It’s really good to see you” small-talk, to let’s get it poppin was fluid. It was an early night in late summer; YG had just been kicked off a plane for being drunk and disorderly, and we were watching it all play out on the Shaderoom, laughing. I was sitting on his bed in a pair of high-waisted flares, he was across the room in something dark-washed and a little baggy, lighting incense. We looked at each other for a moment, and just like that, we knew it was going down…
On Catcalls, Rocawear, and the Search for Curve-Friendly Denim.
I was thirteen when Ms. Jacqui told me the news, “You a got a little booty on you, Glynn,” she said.
A family friend who worked in finance, wore shiny red acrylics and kept her hair buzzed real low for ease, Ms. Jacqui was straight no chaser. She was known to tell you some real shit…
Javier Ramirez...where do I begin? First and foremost, Javier is a father, a husband, a provider, a carne asada lover, a proud knitting veteran, the American dream, and, very importantly, Knorts' knitter among many other things! There's so much to say about Javier, but I'll keep it short and let the video below do the talking.
