Book Description

September 4, 2007
“...a low-ceilinged, sweaty, black box of a room is filled with people of every color, sexual-orientation, height, weight, dress-sense (or non-sense) imaginable. They all have just one thing in common: they're all a little bit... different. The Misshapes have found their box.”
—Jarvis Cocker

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

The MisShapes are Greg Krelenstein (25), Leigh Lezark (21), and Geordon Nicol (21), the promoters and DJs behind an eponymous Saturday night party as well as fashion —and music—world staples in their own right. The MisShapes phenomenon began in February 2004 when the club night, which many now consider the best in hipster Manhattan, opened its doors for the first time. It’s a teenage rock’n’roll dance party for kids in their twenties, and it’s been going strong ever since, capturing a raucous, raw spirit that is the ruling aesthetic for today’s creative types. The trio has been heralded in publications ranging from People to Paper, Nylon to The New York Times. Blender had them on their Hot 100 list and Leigh Lezark was one of New York magazine’s "Most Influential New Yorkers" in 2006 as well as one of Spin magazine’s "Top 25 Under 25."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating September 2, 2007
By oliver
Format:Hardcover
The kids at the party are cute. This book is such a neat documentation of New York nightlife and fashion. The layout is amazing. All of the photograpic contributions really mesh well with the portraits. Perfect size to hang onto as a reference or to sit on the coffee table. Good mix of celebrities with normal people, had to look a few times to find some people. Kudos.. very clean and sophisticated, well worth purchasing, and perfect for any age!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Had Hoped For... June 3, 2011
By mc_
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I remember purchasing this about two years ago. I was so excited for the book to arrive, but I was utterly disappointed. I don't know how you can say that this is similar to street fashion books. Some of the people in here look ridiculous as well as disgustingly drugged out. Just because they are well-known disc jockeys, does not mean they know everything about fashion. It looks like somebody grabbed a standard point and shoot and didn't too much thinking when snapping the photos... perhaps they were under the influence.

4.0 out of 5 stars perfect guide to urban fashion for future designers December 16, 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is a real nice collection of images that introduces you to the inventive universe of nighttime ensembles. Its really cool but i wish it were longer and the pictures bigger, but still, really great.
