Market by Market Flea (2022)

Role: Vendor & Brand Participant – Crisis Magazine

Overview: In October 2023, I participated as a vendor at Market by Market Flea in Los Angeles, representing Crisis Magazine. Our booth featured all three released issues of the magazine, alongside exclusive screen-printed and embroidered apparel designed and produced in-house. The event also marked the launch of CRISIS CANDLES, a limited-edition product line expanding the brand’s creative lifestyle offerings.

Key Highlights & Contributions:

• Product Showcase & Sales• Displayed and sold Crisis Magazine Issues 1–3, exclusive apparel collections, and limited-run Crisis Candles.• Integrated live screen printing and embroidery demonstrations to engage customers directly with the creative process.

• Media & Streaming Presence• Partnered with NTWRK APP Live to stream from the event, providing real-time audience interaction beyond the venue.• Hosted live interviews, including a feature conversation with Mike Cherman (MARKET STUDIOS) and other vendors.

• Brand Growth & Community Engagement• Expanded awareness of Crisis Magazine and merchandise through both physical sales and digital streaming exposure.• Strengthened relationships with industry peers, creatives, and local audiences in the LA streetwear and culture scene.

Outcome: Successfully merged publishing, fashion, and lifestyle branding into one cohesive vendor presence. The activation generated direct sales, increased visibility for Crisis Magazine, and launched Crisis Candles to a receptive audience while positioning the brand within a leading creative marketplace.
