The Misshapes
The Misshapes are a DJ trio, hired and flown around the world to DJ at various fashion parties and night clubs. They have become fashion darlings in their own right. Characterized by their signature black hair, blank expression and mostly a monochrome wardrobe of up-and-coming New York Designers.

In September 2007 after a successful 4 year run, the trio discontinued Misshapes as weekly party.
Since then, the trio continues to dj and has done several outside projects including a style book, remixes for indie rock and electronic bands, film soundtracks, runway show for various designers as well as been involved in fashion journalism & photography.
