The event, hosted by renowned streetwear aficionado, radio host and DJ Kish Kash, kicked off with a live panel titled In Conversation with Ghostface Killah. 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. Our MA-1 bomber jacket emerged as a symbol of the cultural movement that married streetwear and hip-hop in the '90s, a time when Wu-Tang Clan reigned supreme in shaping both music and fashion. The duo also explored their personal connections to the iconic jacket, solidifying its place as a bridge between functionality and style.
