If there’s one thing we can say about ComplexCon Day 2, it’s that it exceeded all expectations. Picture this: the entirety of pop culture encapsulated in a sprawling space, creating an environment where brands seize the spotlight and declare why they’re the next big thing. It’s an unparalleled opportunity for exposure and a chance to showcase industry prowess.
Among the standout brands, one that truly caught our eye hails from the bustling streets of New York – Fried Rice. Their distinctive Japanese-inspired apparel, featuring cropped jacket silhouettes and captivating green iridescence, made waves. Behind the scenes is Maya Wang, the self-taught designer and owner of Fried Rice, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultural identities thriving in her neighborhood.
But ComplexCon isn’t just about eccentric fashion; it’s a melting pot of creativity. One booth that commanded the attention of 360 Magazine was GloMart, a collaboration between the iconic Chief Keef and Black-owned water company Augi Water. Transforming into an urban convenience store, their setup offered alkaline water, popcorn, cotton candy, and a wave of nostalgia with its unique aesthetic.
With all the walking involved, hunger is bound to strike, and when 360 Magazine craved something boujee, the go-to spot was none other than Broad Street Oyster Co. in Los Angeles. Renowned for their mouthwatering lobster rolls, each bite is a heavenly experience – succulent lobster nestled in a buttered roll, elevated with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of hot sauce.
As the sun set on ComplexCon Day 2, the organizers ensured the day lingered in our memories just as vividly as the previous one. How? By orchestrating a mesmerizing performance by none other than Kid Cudi. The crowd was treated to hits from ‘Man on the Moon’ and even some tracks from ‘Kids See Ghosts.’ For those hungry for more details about the spectacular ComplexCon experience, head to complex.com.
