This is Mark Hunter, aka "the Cobrasnake" and DJ Steve Aoki, aka "Dim Mak"
Mark has made himself famous with his nightlife photography, and his
site is an addiction for pbr-guzzling scenesters in head-to-toe american apparel and/or the raddest 80s gear they can find. The fashion is original. The people are beautiful. The drinks are abundant. The party never stops.
Whether or not you hate the titles: "hipster", "scenester", whatever..... it's all for fucking fun!
Never heard of him? Not necessarily that surprising. He's an internet phenomenon gaining more and more popularity everyday, but is more or less unknown to mainstream media (other than the odd mention in NYLON magazine). This is a cult-like following that has stayed that way for the better part of five years.
Pictured below left is Cory Kennedy, who Hunter made famous when he 'discovered' her at a party when she was 16. She quickly became his muse and the two eventually began dating; soon enough, Kennedy was the wastecase/scenester/nightlife princess of LA.
Hunter also throws his daytime yardsale parties all over.... LA, Paris, London.... and we have contacted him for the second year in a row to get his endorsement for us to throw our very own charity yardsale party!
What's for sale? Saturday night's gear..... vintage wayfarers, tshirts, suspenders, fedoras, buffalo plaid, headbands, american apparel, as well as his very own tshirt designs, which sell internationally on his site.
What can we say? People are straight-up addicted. Models frequent his parties in the rawest mix of runway and thrift store finds, kids binge drink, show their tits and tats, and strike the hottest pose they can get out considering their respective levels of fucked-up-edness.....
Love it or hate it, social scene or charity event, come find out what everyone is talking about on the 29th of May......
Love and yardsale gold,
Robyn, Sara and Murad
