While the Met Gala made headlines on Monday, another kind of celebration was creating its own spotlight, rooted in culture, community, and tequila. On Monday, May 5th, The Knockturnal celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style with Hornitos Tequila at their first-ever Hornitos Mex Gala and it was a night to remember.
Studies show that 90% of people believe company culture is very important, and at @beanbeanchelsea, this is a perfect example of why. March madness brought a burst of energy to New York City, and that spirit was unmistakably present at this vibrant corner venue on 8th Avenue. By day, it serves up a full coffee bar; by night, it transforms into an intimate performance space where the boundaries between work and art delightfully blur.

Sugarhill Dot, Lola Brooke, Danzel Dion, Caylee Cowan, Michael Rainey Jr, and others were also spotted at the event.
Trippie Redd, born Michael Lamar White IV, has emerged as a formidable force in the music industry with his unique blend of melodic rap, emo influences, and energetic performances. Rising to prominence in the mid-2010s, he captivated audiences with his distinctive vocal style and boundary-pushing creativity.
As a multi-talented artist, Trippie Redd’s influence extends beyond music. He’s become known for his bold fashion choices and vibrant personality, earning him a significant following among fans of both hip-hop and contemporary culture. This fusion of music and distinctive style made the collaboration with Ksubi such a great idea. The fashion reflected Trippie Redd’s core fanbase embodying a rebellious spirit & breaking away from mainstream fashion norms.
CEO Craig King admired Trippie’s imagination, stating, “Very few artists possess the creativity and imagination of Trippie Redd. It was a great privilege for Ksubi to collaborate with him to create this unique collection for his fans and ours.”
Reflecting on the partnership, Trippie Redd emphasized the importance of self-expression, stating, “When it comes to both music and fashion, I never like to be put in a box. I express myself fully without any boundaries, which is why it made sense to link up with Ksubi. I wanted the collection to feel authentically me, and I’m excited to bring new designs to Ksubi that aren’t typically what they’ve done before and to bring that vision to life.”
The Ksubi x Trippie Redd collection, set to launch this March, will be available at Ksubi.com, Ksubi stores in major cities, and select retailer partners worldwide.
