X: Virtual Reality Meets Fashion With Bad John Paul

Austin, TX – I arrived at The X show to be greeted by Ian Smith, founder of BTS Events ATX. I soon ran into “Bad John Paul” himself and his charm was exquisite. There was a decent crowd before the fashion show began.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, whether at the bar, or checking out some local art. I met some really cool people while mingling before the show. Lots of artist and creative thinkers were in attendance of the show.

I finished checking out some of JP’s fashion themed art that was being displayed out on the patio when “Bad John Paul” announced the show was about to begin. I tried my best to get a good shot, but the crowd was intense. The fashion show was very unique and stylish.

Bad John Paul and Crichy Crich were having a blast on stage. Crich had a killer performance after flying in from Hollywood, CA to party it up for JP’s birthday. I captured a few photos with them after the performance when Crichy Crich told us all to come up on stage.

Listen to some Crichy Crich here:

After the show I talked with Jason Willingham of Austin VR Lab. Austin VR Lab is a virtual reality startup and tonight they were making a virtual reality reel that will make users feel as if they are in front of the fashion show. The experience will make users feel as if the models were walking right up to them.

My good friend David and I got our picture taken right before we left the event and I must say we had an awesome time and I can not wait to see what Bad John Paul his in store for us next.
