I am blessed with having the opportunity to not only tell my<br />

own story, but to help others in telling theirs as well.” The RMG<br />

brand and his event “Art Hearts Fashion” has been held coast to<br />

coast in benefit of numerous charities such as = Women’s Cancer<br />

Research, AIDS Project Los Angeles, The Hurricane Sandy Relief<br />

Kitchen and AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Celebrities highly<br />

support Art Hearts Fashion events and thus it has become an<br />

incredible platform for designers and artists to showcase their<br />

work. Erik was inspired to create his fashion line ‘Mister Triple X’<br />

through his charity work and zeal for fashion. His line has headlined<br />

major fashion weeks throughout the country, including<br />

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week New York and Style Fashion Week<br />

Los Angeles.<br />

Upcoming events for Rosete Management will focus on the<br />

expansion of his event “Art Hearts Fashion”. It is his goal that<br />

through Art Hearts, he will help dozens of designers and artists<br />

tell their stories and showcase their collections at the top<br />

platforms in the world. “Not only will I help designers and artists,<br />

but also showcase hundreds of models that have a certain “it”<br />

factor. This past season I had the honor to showcase a group of<br />

very special models in my Mister Triple X show. War Veteran Alex<br />

Minsky lost his leg while serving our country and has managed<br />

to turn his tragedy into success. I had the honor of customizing<br />

his prosthetic leg this last season for him to walk my runway.<br />

I also featured Nadia Mejia who’s show Suave Says debuts on<br />

VH1 December 3rd, Jourdan Miller winner of Americas Next Top<br />

Model, Dale Moss from the NFL, Cody Saintgnue from Teen Wolf,<br />

and Carlo Mendez, actor and brother of Eva Mendez. Not only<br />

did these great stars come out to walk my show but I also had<br />

Colleen Shannon, the ‘worlds sexiest DJ’ open for my show, and a<br />

performance by British chart topper Katy Tiz.”<br />

What is your opinion of the state of the fashion industry and<br />

your advice for emerging designers/ management / models<br />

trying to break into the industry, I asked Mister Rosete: “Fashion<br />

is at a turning point where people are starting to realize<br />

that beauty does not just belong to the stick figures we have<br />

been accustomed to seeing on the runway. For example this<br />

past season my event featured an amputee, an albino, and<br />

a few plus size models as well as great celebrity personalities<br />

and amazingly talented artistic designers. My advice for<br />

emerging designers and Models: Contact me if you're good<br />

and let me work my magic! Management: Find a personal<br />

manager that believes in you to fight for you and make that<br />

personal push. Big agencies are amazing, but when you are<br />

just starting out you can tend to get lost if you end up with<br />

a bigger agency. Once you are developed your manager can<br />

place you in a larger agency. My advice is to never give up<br />

and never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. I<br />

did not find my path until I was 33 and I see so many teenagers<br />

stressing about the rest of their lives. Never give up, but<br />

be realistic about your expectations as well. I am 5’11 and tell<br />

boys if you are shorter than me you are not walking on my<br />

runway, but maybe you will do well in print or commercials. I<br />

tell girls if you do not fit into my sample size, find a designer<br />

that caters to your size range or focus on the commercial side<br />

of the biz. There is just as much money if not more in commercials<br />

than there is in fashion, and personality and character<br />

play a much bigger role for people wanting to model in<br />

that part of the industry.”<br />

Next year will be huge for Mister Rosete. His event will once<br />

again headline Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week NYC in February,<br />

and will expand to a week long fashion events in Los Angeles,<br />

making them the premiere fashion week platform for Los Angeles!<br />

Our Mister Triple X website is under construction and<br />

will feature customizable clothing for 2015. Mister Triple X<br />

has become the premiere Bespoke streetwear brand catering<br />

to rockstars and fashionistas alike. If you like anything from<br />

our runway contact us at Info@MisterTripleX.com and let us<br />

customize the item to your size and specifications.<br />
