San Francisco Independent Fashion
There’s a cool little photography exhibit showcasing Harajuku kids in Tokyo on display this month at the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco on Fremont. If you love independent-minded fashion, this Japanese phenomenon is about as indie as you can get.
For the details on the show, check out Lorraine’s Harajuku Fashion on Display post on the 7×7 Glamwatch blog today.

The Economics of Art looks to be an excellent event for lovers and supporters of local independent fashion. It’s a great speaker line-up featuring prominent folks from the world of Bay Area fashion design and people with a variety of experiences in making fashion careers – and art – work as viable sources of income through retail, writing and publishing books, teaching and professional organizations.
There’s also a fashion show associated with the event that features student designers from San Francisco State and the Academy of Art. And last but not least, proceeds benefit the future San Francisco Fashion Awards.

This is the last week to get out to El Cerrito fine art gallery Eclectix for the Fierce Fashion exhibit, featuring work loosely based on the themes of fashion, clothing and persona. One of the most striking pieces in the show comes from artist Bryan Barnes, whose Living Lolita Lipstick conjures up thoughts of an eerie, Steampunk-era heroine who’d just as soon stop you dead in your tracks as she would ask you where you’d procured that perfect shade of red lipstick.
Many of the pieces in the show are featured in the venue’s online gallery. The show runs through Sunday, Feb. 22.
Featured artists include Bryan Barnes, Marie Barr, Slimm Buick, Sara Christian, Elizabeth Dante, Jenny Dayton, Patrick Deignan, Steven J.Gelberg, Paul Graf, Edmund Grant, Charles Granich, Dion Hitchings, Kerry Kate, Edith Lebeau, Malcolm Lubliner, Mike Maas, Daniel Malone, Polly Mania, Katie McCann, Dean McDowell, Fletcher Oakes, Arabella Proffer, Michael Roman, Janna Stern, Eric Trimble, Neil Verni, Michelle Waters and Joshua Witten.
