New High (M)art presents: World Fringe - An Ethno, Boho, Afro, Pow-Wow: April 05 — June 07, 2008

from the Press Release:

New High (M)art, the gallery-esque retailer known for hosting a series of designer-in-residence store exhibitions, announces the opening of its first thematic moment with a 9-week installment titled “World Fringe - An Ethno, Boho, Afro, Pow-Wow.” The retail equivalent of a group show, NH(M)’s latest tack involves curating designers and sourcing products that pivot around a central targeted theme.

In this current example, an ethnic-bohemian direction has been identified. Pointing to a handful of independent designers, both local and abroad, the goal is to highlight ethnic permutations currently thriving in first world fashion and explore them from a variety of distinct interpretations. Confirmed designers include: Society for Rational Dress (LA), Cavern (LA), Telfar (NY), Whitehorse Couture (LA), The Battalion (LA), Goddollars (LA), Marvin y Quetzal (MX), Brian Lichtenberg (LA), Death/Traitors (NY), Peggy Noland (KC), Nehima (LA).

SF - Day 2: Harputs, Brooklyn Circus Pop Up, Fatlace & Super 7

Posted on December 11th, 2007 by jelizen.

We spent our Sunday recovering from the Wonder-full party and checking out a few more spots that were on our list.
First up, Harputs Market & the Brooklyn Circus Pop up shop…






Shouts out to Gabriel for being such a dope host! The Brooklyn Circus shop feels good! Look out for a mini video interview we did w/ Gabriel about the upcoming full fledged store that will be down the block from where they are now.

Next we went next door to see Harputs in real life after only checking out their webpage for the last few years as the best place to step your adidas footwork game up.




Next stop was Fatlace only a few blocks away.My man Mark is in Portland working for Nike so Zion held down the fort! Zion could probably sell the whole store by herself! She’s quite a saleslady!






Final stop, next door at Super 7. A very nicely designed toy store w/ lots of fresh tshirts and prints. Be sure to check out the area next time you’re in San Fran!
