Urban Style Project Underground NYC

Uptown Saturday nights stay fly ’cause of things like Urban Style Project’s underground shopping parties. We stopped by the mega watt collective’s first sample sale event yesterday and racked up on exclusive designer pieces (think MISU, Ivette Urbaez, and even rare DKNY)

Designers Mio and Bianca held it down for Washington Heights by inviting other designers (male and female) to showcase their top pieces and give us fashion thirsty mortals something to get excited about… well, besides Frolab’s upcoming summer line of course…(soon come, soon come!)

We even got to chat with Ivette Urbaez who was on site with crazy dope gear for the ladies. What we love about Ivette’s pieces is they are original art, self printed on original cuts- and it all comes straight from her own dome. dope.

Designs by Ivette Urbaez

Between the New York backdrop (wow ladies), Presidentes, Asesina Volvio’s, and the unlimited supply of fashion art- Saturday was yet again another reason why we heart NY.

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).
