Now that the swarms of photogs, editors, bloggers, stylists and what-have-yous have descended on Milan Fashion Week, we here at FashionIndie can finally take some time out to reflect on the hectic week that was New York Fashion Week by rifling through our still bursting bags. Nothing tells the details of debauchery like the contents of a lady’s purse.

SOURCE:365 Project: Day 1
One of the items on my list of “28 things to do before 28? is to complete a 365 project. I’ve made several attempts at doing so, but usually by the 3rd week I’m completely over it. However, this time I’m really going to make an effort to produce a photo everyday until my 28th birthday. Some photos will be grainy cellphone pics, others from my macbook photobooth, and hopefully a majority of them will come from my new digital camera. I hope you enjoy my 365 project.
Day 1: My birthday outfit

I’m finally making the switch to an Apple iPhone this December, and while I intended to snag one of those awesome cork cases, I think I’m going to show Gareth Pugh some support and invest in one of his iPhone or Macbook cases from Colette and AnOther Magazine. They’re not cheap, setting you back just over $100, but hey, it’s Pugh people, he’s incredible.
Thanks Refinery 29!

On March 20th, 2009 This Is A Shakedown! recorded their music video for “Circles” at Ante Up Audio in Cleveland, Ohio using 21 borrowed Apple Mac Books, creating the first music video using Photo Booth.
Leading a new generation of artists is a group that appropriately calls itself THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN! Fusing together influences drawn from playing in mostly punk, heavy rock acts and listening to an eclectic range of music from gospel to R&B to hip-hop and underground dance music, THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN! has created its own intoxicating blend of rock instruments and electronics. Its goal above all: to get your blood pumping and your body moving.
“It’s music you can bang to,” says vocalist/guitarist Brandon Zano. “It’s very sexually driven.” Adds bassist Daniel Lee, “There’s definitely a lot of adrenaline.”
The band launched in early 2008 and quickly started looking for opportunities to get heard. They approached multi-platinum producer, engineer Michael Seifert of Cleveland’s Ante Up Audio, whom Zano knew from working with in past projects. He caught the group live and immediately signed them as the first act on his new label Reversed Image Unlimited LLC. Their first full-length disc, “LOVE KILLS” was released on May 5th 2009.
While the band’s currently focused on the CD that will introduce them to the world, they’re continuing to play out as much as possible. A national coast to coast tour is planned for this summer
“Our emphasis is to prove that our live show is just as good as or better than the album,” says Zano. “We come from bands with punk and rock influences. We don’t just stand there. We’re ravenous about it. We want the live experience to be so intense that for the next week, after seeing THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN! your heart is still pounding and your body is still shaking.”
