Saigon Customs Elephant

Saigon Customs Geisha 1

Miss Saigon is a talent that I believe many should recognize. Presently she utilizes Saigon Customs as a way to illustrate her obvious talent and artistic flair. Being featured on Female Sneaker Fiend, Sole Heaven, and Chicks in Kicks, Saigon has developed an instinctive style and eye for custom sneakers and wishes to invoke imagination to all who see them. She is looking forward to showcasing her unique line of work at artistic venues around the world, and I for one am excited to see the goodness!

M.I.S.S. favorite photographer extraordinaire, Amanda Lopez, is featured in the latest issue of Sneaker Freaker.  Amanda’s photos have appeared in Mass Appeal, XXL and The Source.  She’s worked as Estevan Oriol’s assistant and had several Vans True Story Exhibitions which detail her adventures - all through her kicks.   Her latest project has her paired up with Lori Lobenstine’s Female Sneaker Fiend on a book project called “Girls Got Kicks.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amanda on over a year’s worth of Mama look books.  I can tell you first hand that Amanda is not only a talented photographer, but she is so easy to work with and has a way of directing models that puts everyone at ease and let’s everyone’s true beauty shine.  Learn more about this rising star on Sneaker Freaker, where they’ve sat down to chat with Amanda Lopez.

Female Sneaker Fiend noticed that Michelle Obama was quite the fashion maven and asked some industry ladies what kind of sneakers they thought Michelle Obama would wear in various situations.  “Experts” included female sneaker fiends Claw Money, Mama of Mama Clothing/M.I.S.S., Samia Grand-Pierre from Highsnobette.com, Lori Lobenstine, Precious Colon and Janine Simon.  Check out the full article here to see what our First Lady would wear while working out, on a date, to run errands, and to spend time with the family.

Tee Fisher has been smashing it with her site TrashBagAesthetics.com!
