Fashion Spotlight: SocialCon Clothing & Marcus Shadden

Trey — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:48:04 +0000

A full-blooded Kansas Kid, Marcus Shadden isn’t your typical DJ/Producer. He’s a small town guy with a big city dream. From running an art gallery, to producing music, to starting his own clothing line, Marcus likes to believe in something bigger. As he puts it, his clothing line is an extension of his beliefs. Marcus states, “It’s about putting creative, positive, political ideas into a urban inspired culture but not in a preachy way. Simple but profound. I truly believe that if our generation can start thinking more consciously, we will change the world for the better.”

Fight the Stereotype

Simple and profound. His passion for outside-the-box thinking and pushing boundaries is clearly evident in his music, as well as his fashion. His comfort lies in mixing genres and combining different sounds to evoke feelings and making people have a lot of fun while looking good doing it. Hey, that’s what it’s all about, right?

Marcus’ clothing lends to the trendsetting Chicago fashion scene. Hip and not afraid to show it. His looks are about wearing your heart on your sleeve and being proud of it. We had a great time at the photo shoot and Marcus was great to work with along with the models involved (listed below). Take a second to check out the video from the shoot! Last but not least, I took a quick second to ask Marcus: What’s the deal with the owl that can be found stitched on your clothes? Marcus states, “The owl is the character for my line. His name is Manu which is sanskrit for wise. Owls represent wisdom. And also I’m a night owl; always have been. The night time is when I’m most creative.”

Big thanks to everyone involved in the shoot
