Good Times Magazine Good Day Sacramento Feature — Bringing My First Fashion Show to Life

One of the most meaningful milestones in my early creative career was being interviewed on Good Times Magazine to promote my first-ever fashion show, held in Sacramento. The segment, which aired on local news and is still available online, captured a moment when my work was transitioning from digital content into real-world fashion, community events, and physical brand-building.

At the time, I was building my line piece by piece, creating garments by hand, and figuring out how to translate my online identity into something people could wear. The Good Times team invited me to showcase the collection live, talk about the meaning behind the brand, and highlight the event happening that weekend — a full runway show featuring clothing I designed from scratch.

For someone still early in their creative journey, this interview was a defining experience. It put a spotlight not just on my work, but on the idea that independent youth-driven fashion could command attention in a real, tangible way.

A Brand Born from Creativity, Community, and DIY Culture

During the interview, I walked the hosts through the inspiration behind the brand — a fusion of youth culture, skate influence, indie streetwear, and the early internet aesthetics that shaped me. Every piece in the show was designed, sewn, and produced under my own roof. No outsourcing. No shortcuts.

The feature emphasized the hands-on, grassroots nature of the project:

• Custom hoodies, tees, and cut-and-sew pieces

• Handmade details and one-of-one garments

• A runway lineup styled entirely by my team

• A show built from pure creativity, long before I had access to the production tools I use today

It was a first look into the work ethic that would later fuel Crisis Magazine, editorial productions, pop-ups, livestreams, and large-scale creative direction across multiple brands.

Highlighting Sacramento’s Creative Scene

Sacramento played a major role in the story. The fashion show wasn’t just an event — it was a chance to expand beyond online spaces and engage directly with a local community hungry for new ideas.

Good Times Magazine highlighted:

• The rise of independent designers in Northern California

• How young creators were redefining what a fashion show could look like

• The blending of internet culture with real-world events

• My role in bringing together a community of friends, models, photographers, and supporters

For many attendees, it was their first time seeing a peer create and produce a full runway experience. For me, it was the first taste of building something larger than myself — a preview of the creative productions I would eventually become known for.

A Turning Point in My Career

Looking back, the Good Times Magazine interview is more than just a local news clip. It marks a key turning point:

It was the moment I realized I could take my ideas off the screen and bring them into real space — through clothing, events, and storytelling.

The energy of that show, the support from Sacramento, and the visibility of the broadcast all contributed to the momentum that would later evolve into my work in:

• Fashion direction

• Magazine publishing

• Event production

• IRL livestreaming

• Creative agency work

• Large-scale collaborations with artists and brands

It was proof that even at a young age, I could conceptualize, produce, and deliver a full creative vision from start to finish.

Why This Interview Still Matters Today

This feature remains an important part of my portfolio because it captures the earliest form of what I still do now:build culture from the ground up, bring people together, and turn ideas into experiences.

Just like the AOL article showcased my beginnings in digital content, the Good Times Magazine interview documented the moment my work expanded into fashion and live events — long before Crisis Magazine, Round Two Magazine, or the IRL productions that define my current career.
