ComplexCon 2018 Mostly Delivers On Promise To Be More Woman Friendly

November 8, 2018. Leave a Comment

ComplexCon held its third annual event last weekend (November 3-4, 2018) in Long Beach where the event was not surprisingly dominated by ComplexCon’s target, young male demographic.

While men’s offerings at the show dominate, it’s not lost on Complex that close to half of attendees are women and following its debut show in 2016, it’s made a sincere effort to bring more women into the fold.

One of the challenges is that there are simply not many indie women’s streetwear brands that can afford to show at the event. We were excited to see Melody Ehsani return for a second year plus debut show appearances by Kristen Noel Crawley with her KNC Beauty brand, Sami Miro who was showing a reimagined vintage line, Frankie Collective and Aggy, a new line created by Kilo Kish.

Part of the uber-popular Union booth included offerings from Bephie, a women’s streetwear line designed by store co-owner Elizabeth Gibbs. Dickies Girl and Urban Decay, which both have big corp backing, also had booths.

While not specifically owned by women, there were plenty of brands at the event exuding a female-friendly vibe like Guess, Kappa, Puma and Reebok, whose rotation of DJs included DJ Kelly Green and Vashtie.

In addition to women showing, there were two women’s panels: “Behind the Lens,” a panel highlighting women in the entertainment industry plus “Women & Streetwear.” We also spotted a booth featuring the work of Uzumaki Cepeda. There are no doubt women who were a part of the show that we missed, which is a good thing! That probably wouldn’t have been an issue in year one.

What’s on our wish list for next year? Definitely more female music performers (we only saw Tinashe in the lineup!) and a second top ten sneaker panel hosted entirely by women.

Check out some of the women we spotted at the event below.

Born in Australia, Zhang began her career in fashion in 2009 with a blog titled Shine By Three. While blogging, Zhang was also attending school and posseses a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Law from the University of Sydney. 

While Zhang looks dope and it's wonderful to see her appointment, according to recent reporting on Conde Nast pub Bon Appetit by Reply All podcast (which, ironically, is currently going through it's own diversity meltdown), chief Anna Wintour first put the word out to staff to hire more editors of color in 2018, yes, 2018, a mere three years ago!
INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was sho INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in Los Angeles by individual who then stole two of three of her French Bulldogs! The crime took place at 10 PM on Wednesday night in Hollywood. 

According to a recent TMZ update, crime scene video has emerged showing a white car rolling up on the dog walker. Two men emerge from the vehicle and one, who is brandishing a gun, tells the dog walker, "Give it up."

The dog walker put up a fight (!!) before the gun goes off, striking him in the chest. The two thiefs each grab one dog and flee the scene. In the video, the black dog shown here, whose name is Asia, manages to escape and is shown running back to the fallen dog walker. 

Gaga, who is currently in Rome working on a project, is currently offering at $500,00 award for the safe return of Koji and Gustav (on the slide). The dog walker was hospitalized but thankfully will recover.
