VOLKSWAGEN, FAME GAME, and Z!NK Magazine hosted THIS WORLD IS YOURS, an event held last night at the Red Bull loft space in Soho. The event was inspired by five themes – Play, Teach, Think, Let Go, and Dream – each represented by a photograph featured at the event. The photographs were shot by up and coming professional photographers Justin Tellian, Claire Benoist, Harry Fellows, Jamie Chung, and Michael Scott Slosar. In addition, street art duo Skewville played upon the “hype” of the party with some art work on display in the Volkswagen car and in the PLAY photograph.
