SIK Selection
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
I know Field of Dreams was a baseball movie, but let’s pretend it was football meets fashion.
The work you see here was created by 2-time Super Bowl Champion Marquez Valdes-Scantling. St. Petersburg native, Lakewood Spartan, USF Bull, and NFL wide receiver with great style and a sick (SIK) fashion brand.
I’ve been lucky to work with MVS on multiple occasions, connecting with him again last year at the Balmain fashion show at the Tampa Museum of Art. He mentioned he had his own show happening at the same venue just two weeks out.
“I’ll be there.”
And I was. What a show it was…
Fast forward. This year marks his third year presenting Luxe Fashion Fest, set inside the Historic Red Door No. 5 in the heart of Tampa. For the first time ever, Marquez served as the sole presenting designer, bringing a singular creative vision to the runway. Twenty-Seven looks. All SIK Selection. All his. Founded in our very own St. Petersburg, Florida.
These photos were made backstage, the last looks before any guest even got a glimpse.
