The gathering celebrated the intersection of music, fashion, and culture, bringing together streetwear enthusiasts and hip-hop fans alike.

Through dynamic storytelling, Ghostface and Cappadonna took the audience on a journey through their careers, reflecting on the indelible impact of Wu-Tang Clan’s legacy and their Staten Island roots. Tales of New York’s influence on their music and style were shared, shining a light on how their upbringing shaped their philosophy and sound.
Alpha Industries' heritage in military-inspired outerwear played a prominent role in the discussion.

The duo also explored their personal connections to the iconic jacket, solidifying its place as a bridge between functionality and style.
