In 2010, fashion designer and creative visionary David BenDavid reinvented the backpack with his emblematic design “Hello My Name Is”, creating the blueprint for what 12 years later grew into one of the most iconic street style fashion houses founded in the twenty-first century. This year, Sprayground as always pulled out all the stops with special appearances on the runway from female rapper Remy Ma, Reggaeton star Jon Z and NFL Wide Receiver, Antonio Brown.
“Being back in the city that saw the birth of Sprayground during Fashion Week feels exhilarating, I’m so thankful to everyone involved and helping pull this off! This new collection was designed to push the boundaries, turn the mundane into insane, and most importantly give a platform for creative individuals to express themselves. At Sprayground we are committed to building a travel culture, starting with one backpack 12 years ago, we now design a number of carriers as well as apparel – we really do have something for everyone! I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store!”, said David BenDavid, founder and creative director of Sprayground.
The show and after party was sponsored by Gancia Wines and Dave’s Hot Chicken and took place at a private location in Times Square.
