INSPIRATION SHOW 2020 Presented by Rin Tanaka

Inspiration LA is an annual gathering in Southern California for vintage enthusiasts from around the globe. The two-day show brings together over international vintage-oriented exhibitors offering rare, unique and one-of-a-kind merchandise on exhibit and for sale—including American vintage apparel manufactured from the 1900s-1980s, vintage-inspired-to-contemporary fashions & accessories from local boutiques, major corporate Americans, worldwide companies, and plus artists and artisans, hot-rods, antiques, records and audio equipment, as well as soul music! ‘Rin Tanaka'

Frankie met Rin a while back and they became immediate friends, with so much love for apparel, hot rods and Americana between them it was just natural that they would collaborate on some things. Rin is a prolific photographer and writer, as he has written and shot all photography for many coffee table books featuring everything from Vintage Harley Davidson attire to Grateful Dead t-shirts and so much in between. Rin’s show INSPIRATION is always a huge hit for collectors as well as novices who love the whole Americana vibe. This past show was no different, it was a huge success as well, sadly I could not attend as I was away, but I still get the feeling that I really missed out on some cool finds.
