UPNY
Official Bio:
"UPNY is a New York based clothing line interested in redefining gender roles through the relationship of forms and shapes. Founded in 2011 by Allen Feldman, whose upbringing as a native New Yorker has given him endless amounts of inspiration.
Exploring both day and night culture in New York has inspired him to capture the aggressive elegance of city life. At only the age of 24, Allen is an artist in every sense of the word. Having experimented with many different mediums over the years, fashion was the next logical step in his creative evolution, and UPNY has been the vehicle to bring all of these various influences together. Aside from designing the first full ready-to-wear collection for UPNY, Allen is an art dealer. He is also currently working on a new music project with his girlfriend, entitled "Just Shades" to be released late 2015."
