WILLIAMSBURG FASHION WEEKEND IS BACK! AT SECRET PROJECT ROBOT FRI&SAT SEPT18&19th!

Williamsburg Fashion Weekend, the original innovator of unorthodox fashion shows in Brooklyn, opens its sixth season on September 18^th and 19^th, at Secret Project Robot. The group of designers we assembled this year, with their finger on the pulse of our fashionable neighbourhood, will display the diverse elements that make up what Williamsburg fashion aesthetic is about, right now!

Two designers from two of our favorite Williamsburg boutiques, (Erin Weckerle for Sodafine), (Sirius* for Treehouse, Brooklyn) have teamed up to show off their latest hand-made, one of a kind creations. Their past shows have always blown us away, we can't wait to see what they will surprise us with this season!

Racecar! by Nettie Tiso offers clothing for both men and women. The design concept this season fuses modern and historic late 1800's characteristics to create all new forms. It is utilitarian clothing that is made unique with contemporary eccentricities and western motifs.

Markus Hicks of SDN, continues his innovative take on the "classics" with impecable workmanship, eco-friendly fabrics and socially responsible production ethics. Markus promises to wow us with a choreographed-theatrical performance for his presentation! sarahdixonsnova.com

Raab West of Yard, with cool attitude and vibrant colors, hand-dyed by the designer himself, will show garments that mix the relaxed attitude of the Caribbean with NY street-smarts. The movie "The Wiz" will be the theme of Raab's show as a tribute to Michael Jackson!

if you can, please attend this event!

treehouse's dear friend Liz of the xquizzy notebook fame is putting on this raffle/fundraiser....in her words:

"Hello everyone.

As some of you may already know, my friend Elizabeth Eagle and I traveled to Kenya in March to teach art in Ndonyo Wasin Primary School. The experience was astounding, humbling, inspiring and often breath taking. We took great volumes of pictures hoping to capture what we saw/felt. There must be 30 gigs of images between us!

Elizabeth had the fantastic idea of putting together a benefit to support the children of Ndonyo Wasin as they look for ways to pay for their education. It takes $1000 to sponsor a child going into secondary school: that's room, board, books, classes the works! We're hoping we can raise enough cash to line the pockets of The Thorn Tree Project and Orphans of Rwanda. There will be handmade Samburu jewelry and Rwandan baskets. Photos priced to $ell. And let's not overlook snacks and drinks! Bring yourself AND your wallet down to Court Street next week. "

hope to see you there!
kisses from the branches,
and reaching for the stars,
