Good Looks: We’ve Got it Made

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Don’t you love it when you feel like you’ve got it made? In that spirit, we’ve got all eyes on a certain local jewelry company for the latest in our ongoing San Francisco Style Series.

For this original photo shoot (you won’t see it anywhere other than SF Indie Fashion), photographer and stylist Erin Haight dolled up model Samara in bling from designers Abigail Rivamonte and Debbie Sheen’s Made Jewelry.

We love these pieces for their ability to be versatile, yet oh-so-far from boring.

You’ll find the latest from Made Jewelry available online at Moxsie, as well as in local shops such as Acrimony and Isso. Looking for a specific piece? You can always email info (at) madejewelry (dot) com to order.

Styling and photography by Erin Haight; photo editing by David Cammack; Model, Samara.

Don’t Miss: Urban-Inspired Art + Fashion at Secession

Head to Secession Art and Design on Friday evening for an opening party celebrating the lower Bernal Heights gallery and boutique’s summer show devoted to art, design and fashion inspired by urban life. Works on canvas by longtime local graffiti artist Furyone and prints by Anna Simson are reason enough to stop by and check out the show.

For those of us who live surrounded by the concrete sidewalks, graffiti-tagged walls, Muni sounds, sirens and other signifiers of city life, it’s restorative and refreshing and reinvigorating to see these attributes turned into art we can digest and admire. Add fashion from featured designers Josie Adele of Fluidance, Nicacelly, fiftyseven-thirtythree, gr.dano, Yugala Priti, Ava Love and others, and you’ve got us completely hooked. And that’s not even getting into the work done by in-house designers and artists Colleen Mauer, Heather Robinson, New Skool and Twelve Designs.

Short story long, we just love this space and what curator-owner Eden Stein has made of it since moving on to the block two years ago. Show after show, the space really represents some of the best of what’s happening in the San Francisco independent fashion community — and every show benefits an organization such as Streetside Stories. It may be a little father into the deep Mission than you’re used to venturing, but we’d recommend making the trek. Hey, have dinner at a nearby spot like Emmy’s, the Front Porch or La Ciccia. Head to El Rio, the Knockout or Argus afterwards for beverages and – bam – you’ll got an entire night out of it….

Meet Tedda Hughes Gallery Boutique

We had a great time visiting the Tedda Hughes gallery boutique in Russian Hill over the weekend. After meeting Tedda at the space just over a week ago when the art was just going up on the walls and the merch was still in boxes, it was exciting see the place come together just in time for its opening weekend.

Right now, the store is truly equal parts gallery and boutique – with one wall almost entirely devoted to work by local artists Hilary Williams, dk haas and Trish Tunney. The clothing and accessories selection is well-edited and emphasizes independent designers, with pieces by She-Bible, Richard Ruiz, Sass and Bide and Atsuko Kudo hanging from the racks. In back, offerings for kids include standouts like playful superhero capes made by Tedda herself…

We suggest you go check it out yourself, but in the meantime, some pics:
