\nDescribe Freak City and HI-FA$H!ON BA$$ in your own words?<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat we call Freak City is a special place, a state of mind, a style, a sound, a vibe. Freak City is an atmosphere, a secret hide out\/club house full of fashion, music and art everywhere. It represents a history growing up in a city with colours, crews, beats and freaks. It\u2019s a world within a world where freedom exists and self expression is highlighted. The graffiti paints a story of turning the ghetto into a gallery and bringing the street indoors. To me Freak City is a calling for culture, collaboration and innovation. One of the last places with true soul and flavour. Hi-FA$HION BA$$ is a party that takes place @FREAKCITYLA that embodies what Freak City is… A street fashion environment laced with beauty and BA$$. It\u2019s a real colourful and creative crowd straight, gay, black, white brown and alien. The future of the underground…<\/p>\n
It always feels spontaneous when you announce events \u2013 would you say that\u2019s how you roll?
\n<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s all about the moment. When things come together it happens naturally so there isn’t much planning involved. That\u2019s how we roll..<\/p>\nHow do you find or curate artists to get involved with Freak City?
\n<\/strong>
\nIt happens magnetically, you get in where you fit in…<\/p>\nEvents and projects seem to showcase LA talent and creativity \u2013 do you see Freak City as a platform at all?
\n<\/strong>
\nFreak City is more of a planet than a platform but most definitely a showcase.<\/p>\nDo you think there\u2019s something all the artists who collaborate with Freak City have in common? A through-line or point of connectivity?
\n<\/strong>
\nFor sure, we have a lot in common with artists we work with. I feel we are using one mind and are all connected.<\/p>\nHave you got more HI-FA$HION BA$$ events planned?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes there will be more HI-FA$HION BA$$ parties coming to a city near you…<\/p>\n
What does the rest of 2012 hold for Freak City?<\/strong><\/p>\n2012 is the year of the FREAK. Freak City Studios will launch in 2012 and will be releasing a lot of exclusive NU Music. We will also be launching NU designs and products. Shhh! Rumour is Freak City will be travelling…
