About S.L.A.T.E. :
The S.L.A.T.E. Pop-Up Shop @ AK1511 is a unique retail concept launching December 20, 2009 at the AK1511 event space in Venice, CA. Located in the heart of trendy shopping street Abbot Kinney Blvd., it is the first-ever pop-up shop to be hosted by a fashion tradeshow as a showcase for their exhibiting designers and brands. S.L.A.T.E. is launching this Pop-Up as an open platform for key apparel and accessory brands that show at S.L.A.T.E. and are trendsetters in the world of lifestyle/streetwear/action sport style. In addition to standard retail, featured brands are able to host their own in-store events and sample sales, display exhibits, and bring in live musical performances and DJ showcases.
