Meanwhile Back in Queens

Meanwhile Back in Queens New York City lifestyle brand, focused on the most diverse borough in the world — Queens. Queens, N.Y is the capital of transculturation.

From iconic fashion statements (laceless Adidas) to an insider dialect that is understood globally (thunn language), Queens borough has leveraged the diversity of its populace to become a major influence in trendsetting. Musically, Queens hosts a collective of Hip Hop's foundational emcees (Nas, LL Cool J, RUN DMC, Kool G. Rap) commercial success stories (50 Cent, Nicki Minaj) as well as a respect

able catalogue of newcomers (Action Bronson, Homeboy Sandman). Add the business acumen of its hustlers past (Russell Simmons, Steve Stoute) and present (Tristan Walker) and you can see that its (Uni)sphere of influence transcends multiple genres. Our purpose at mbiQ (meanwhilebackinqueens) is simple; humbly represent the unique culture of Queens and provide a gallery of its dopest offerings through a constant filter of quality control.

Flashback to Queens in the 1950s-1970s.

These images were shot by Harold Mayer, one of the first photographers in New York City that started capturing street photography in color.

Shooting in Kodachrome (color film) meant carrying a large camera, long wait times for your photos and expensive development fees. Mayer didn’t care — he wanted to capture everyday life in New York City in its true form.
