have we mentioned lately how much we love the uniform project?

"Thread NY caught up with Sheena Matheiken at the tail end of The Uniform Project, her year-long exercise in sustainability wherein she wore one dress for 365 days. We accompanied her to a couple of her favorite Williamsburg shopping haunts, where she hones her styling genius.

Since the first day of the first dress, we've been enthralled by Matheiken's journey, which she documented with a daily photograph of her outfit on The Uniform Project blog. The point of her yearlong exercise? To extol the value of reuse while raising funds for The Akanksha Foundation's efforts to school children in the slum's of her native India. Supporters could contribute cash to the cause or accessories to help her create new outfits.

The yearlong experiment has concluded, but Matheiken has only just begun to exercise her styling genius. We were thrilled to tag along on a mini-tour of two Williamsburg boutiques that supported her mission, Treehouse and Malin Landaeus, during which she showed us how to maximize what you've already got."

thank you so much to sheena matheiken of the uniform project and laurel pinson of NBC's thread ny! and supposedly this video is in taxi cabs all over ny right now! please let us know if u see it!

ABOUT DOTANK BROOKLYN
DoTank is a public vessel for interdisciplinary exploration, engagement and enhancement of our urban environment through means outside of the formal urban planning process. We make rapid and meaningful change by exploring and testing in our laboratory: Brooklyn, NY. By catalyzing local intellectual capital, we carry out interventions meant to improve the built environment. We connect, capture, build, design, and produce, and above all else, we Do.
http://dotankbrooklyn.org

ABOUT WINDOWFARMS
Windowfarms are vertical, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edible window gardens built using low-impact or recycled local materials. They serve to empower city folks to grow food inside, year-round, and give ordinary people a way to contribute innovations toward more sustainable cities.

ABOUT SEED BOMBING

Seed bombing is where gardeners throw a "green grenade" into an empty lot filling in all those empty spots and roadside tracts of land with flowers and/or food. With this unauthorized act of participation guerrilla gardeners do the work that our cities should be paying to have done.

ABOUT VERMICULTURE

Worms!!!! And indoor composting.

Style-Off, percussion parades, and more!

*we are honored to have been asked to be a judge at this style-off event at glasslands TONIGHT this THURS...islander vs highlander...WHAAAT??? so curious to see what everyone comes up with.....now what shall we wear???  btw, we will be happily acceptin whiskey bribes ;). * THIS SAT (6pm ish-on) we're beyond stoked to be a part of this parade for the art gallery Collette Blanchard, artist Shantell Martin, and the awesome mag Tom Tom about female drummers as a member of the amazing all-female drumming band Chica Vas. facebook event here. crazy-good video of chicas vas at sxsw at okay mountain gallery here. more info from tom tom here. yes! *oh, and gee whiz thanks 11211mag for the holla! we agree that we wish the article could have celebrated the old school spots that we love so much on the block as well...: "Nice guide to local shopping on Graham Avenue (although skewed entirely toward the arrivistes - how about some of the long-timers?).

We also dig Feral Childe's silk shift dresses ($200-$280).

The shop showcases work by more than 60 designers, most of whom live and work in Brooklyn. Do-it-yourselfers also stop by to pick up hand-spun yarn and vintage craft kits; you can also browse the library of crafting books (sorry, no borrowing) and take a class in embroidery, crochet, jewelry making or decoupage.

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!

i am honored to have had sheena of the uniform project wear one of my newest hand-crocheted sterling chain creations from my luxury jewelry line, Sirius Lux. More info about Sirius Lux to come soon...hope you like! I've been making crochet accessories for a while, but have finally dove into the land of precious metals...which is strange since i always say there can never be enough bling...;)
