Last night, we had a three-hour stenciling party with Levi’s in their Meatpacking shop and it was a fun one. Ed Roth, owner and designer of Stencil1, created custom stencils with messages such as LOVE, COME TOGETHER, and LOVE NEVER FAILS as well as provided some iconic Stencil1 designs for people to choose form and have their tote bags or denim customized. The event was put together to showcase the newly re-designed Levi’s® Meatpacking Store, featuring exclusive pieces fromthe Levi’s® Vintage Clothing, Levi’s® Made & Crafted, and Levi’s® Authorized Vintage collections.
“I designed and cut some of these stencils with messages of love right before the event day and hoped people would like them as many were disappointed and worried after the election. The event became emotional for me as many people told me why they liked these messages of love as well as said things like they needed this right now. It went from a leisurely creative event to something of more substance.”
All the paint used was provided by Pebeo, their fabric paint helped to customize tote bags, denim vests, trucker jackets, and even a leather jacket. High quality paints, we recommend them.
CRUSHfanzine was the media sponsor and invited a great group of people. See some pics of the event-goers below and visit the Stencil1 Facebook page to see many more. Photos by Sebastian Jimenez.
The night ended with a taste tequila from the liquor sponsor, Blue Nectar Tequila.
