DC x SIXPACK PMKFA Launch

R.Hero — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:18:51 +0000

Starting off our 2010 calendar with a bang, we held an event at Electrik Sheep on Friday night, launching an exclusive clothing range from French brand SIXPACK collaborating with shoe giants DC. We also took the opportunity to preview the artists we’ve got lined up for the gallery in 2010. Great night had by all, and as always we didn’t hold back at the afterparty, with help from our friends onE20.
