UNFILTERED 2.0
Back for the second iteration of female fueled expression, Volcom Women’s Unfiltered 2.0 went down last Friday night and we’ve had the memories on replay since! From art to music, surf to skate, this night was a collision of insanely talented local chicks, united to share with the Gold Coast community (and the world!) their creative outlets. Hosted at Iron & Resin Garage, crew said walking into the event felt like walking into a music festival. People streamed in from streets in every direction with spirits at an all time high! For some of the groms, this was their first time feeling the energy of a surf brand event. For other seasoned party goers, this was a re-ignition of the intoxicating culture Volcom Women’s lives and breathes. Raw, authentic, unapologetic expression.
As the sun set, the happenings started with a mini ramp skate jam that pumped all night! A group art show went down in the fondly named ‘Volcom Art Alley’, featuring works from local creators Mia Phillips, Ella Tubman, Nirvana Tropicana, Coral Fujino, Chook Scratch and Mariaa Urbina. While the girls works were so different, they complimented each other perfectly in a unique mashup of colour and concepts. Then ‘Microwave’ our new Volcom Skate Film hit the screen for its only Gold Coast Prem. Everyone crammed in on whatever free space they could find! The stoke around Liv Lovelace’s part was unreal. Post prem Coco Ho’s surf film took over as the anticipation for live music amped. Female led bands Mr Finn, Tomorrows Forecast and Royal Ratbags sent off the night with an absolute bang!
The event closed on a communal hype around the girls and everything Unfiltered stands for. More than just a party, Unfiltered is a platform to represent, empower and inspire women to pursue their passions, no matter the outlet. We can’t wait to see how this notion grows and who we will get to cross paths along the way!
Huge thank you to everyone who came down, the talent involved and the Iron & Resin crew for hosting us!
Unfiltered 3.0 is already in the works, any guesses where it’ll show up?
