FRANKIE BABY TEASER
What do you get when you cross Planet Rock vs. Pin up, Beat Street vs. West Side Story, Boomboxes, B-girls, Bronx ballrooms and bombshells from back in the day ?
Frankie Baby - a vintage urban Pin up apparel project. by artist Derek Santiago and photographer Frank Antonio mashing up New York CIty's Latin Mambo era of the 1950s, vintage glamourous Pin ups, and the wildly creative Bronx street culture of the 1980s.
The ingredients of this clip I put together pays respectful homage to the old inspiration, and the direction we aim to take the culture.
If you love, then spread this video.
*note- all breakdancing footage are women

Can't tell you how much I love this video, I view it everyday at work. Takes me to a time when instead of fighting we would battle it out on the dance floor or right on the streets. Nothing like those good old days. Its amazing how women today are breakdancing and flexing those bodies in such amazing ways. Takes me back into my teenage days when I loved to dance myself. Not too many female breakdancers back then. Love the dancing, the art and the photos. This video is amazing. Keep up the good work Santiago. I love all of your work and I am sure your clothing line is going to be a great success.
