Amazing! This show, everything that has to do with this show, is simply fucking amazing. It truly does embody New York and what it is to be a young New Yorker at this moment in time. From the graphic designers, independent brands on their grind, the bloggers, the fashion gurus, urban artists, we’re all some how captured in spirit, through this show and I admire that because we’re being appreciated through another form of art. An art that isn’t being forced. You guys over at HBO are doing a great job with this.
