Tom's Shoes Collaboration : Irvine Spectrum
|
I t was warm, yet breezy. I searched for her amidst a sea of artists, all with their tattoos, uber cool sunglasses, and tighter than normal clothes. Yes, it was art in Orange County. And I loved it. I found my sister, Alexandria, working on Tom's Shoes and a line waiting for her.
And I was proud.
Alexandria recently graduated from art school and is quite talented (although I might be biased). She was one of the chosen artists work on a Tom's Shoes and Active Ride Shop collaboration at the Irvine Spectrum yesterday. Throngs of people showed up to purchase a pair of Tom's and a featured artist would customize the shoes for the wearer. It was the story. Alexandria gave her time and talent to this amazing event and I was proud. Of her. Of the event. Of Tom's.
Each artist was given a GIVE frame to design and I immediately knew this was my sister's.... |
| For those who aren't familiar with Tom's Shoes, for every pair of shoes purchased, a pair will be given to a shoeless child...the event's goal is 10,000 shoes and I can't wait for them to blow this number out of the water! |
| I love the Irvine Spectrum...I'm pretty much there everyday (much to JD's chagrin when he finds my receipts) and it was awesome to see the Spectrum host such a great event... |
| Here's Alexandria talking about her customizations... |
| A few samples of her work... |
| Alexandria was working for many hours, so I dropped by with Jamba Juice for a little extra pick-me-up....but nothing could take the smile from her face... |
