Kevin Fallon aka Fantasy Explosion on Randazzo’s Clam Bar, Almond Butter, Brian Karlsson's Photography, and more.
May 6, 2021
Kevin Fallon is the man behind Fantasy Explosion, a legendary vintage shop known for its New York based ephemera and apparel. However, he’s not just stocking hyper-specific NYC jawns, his keen eye for all sorts of interesting oddities leads to Friday drops that tend to sell out before you can make it through all of the pages. So head on over to his Instagram for sneak peeks of what’ll be included on each drop, whether it’s a hat commemorating the Nor’easter of ‘92 or this Carnegie Hall Tee. If you’d rather see his stuff in person, he’s running a Spring Pop-Up in Bryant Park, Manhattan from May 31st to June 20th— so pop in & look around! Kevin has great taste and lucky for us, he’s here to talk about what he’s been into.Without further ado

Brian is one of the hardest working street film photographers in New York City. I love his ability to curate photo carousels with linear narrative themes. He captures authentic moments that happened just behind you. His work is a reminder that New York is alive and odd in all the right places when you aren’t looking. Sometimes when he leaves the Fantasy office in Williamsburg, he walks to Harlem just to take pictures along the way. I’ve seen some of his unreleased projects and you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you follow along too.
