Party On: Desigual San Francisco Opening Bash

How do you throw a party? Lots of tapas, even more sangria, DJ Chuck Love (who also sings, plays guitar, flute, horn and keyboard) and … a marching band. That’s what Barcelona-based retailer Desigual did earlier this month with the help of OM Records and 944 Magazine at its new Union Square store (101 Powell St. @ Ellis).

The “atypical” store launch was their way of saying Hola! to San Francisco. Over There was approx 1,700 people came through the store for the launch, including VIP attendees such as philanthropist and socialite Joy Bianchi, Alice Radio’s Hooman, Project Runway contestant and designer Christopher Collins, celebrity hair stylist Jerome Molles and 944 Magazine’s Erica Henderson and Dorian Beach.

Check this hot-of-the-press video love letter to SF and photos from the launch party below:

Attention fans of uncommon fashion: Desigual, the fashion-forward Spanish clothing label that’s rapidly becoming a must have in everyone’s closets this season, celebrates the launch of its newest store here in San Francisco… and we couldn’t be happier.

Desigual (pronounced “dizzy-gwol”) translates to “It’s not the same” and after tomorrow, we won’t be either, Bay Area.

Well known throughout Europe for its fun, bold, colorful fabrics and prints, this brand is anything but ordinary.

Join in the fashion frenzy tomorrow from 12 noon to 6 pm for nonstop celebrations, including 50 percent off the Fall/Winter ’10 collection, sangria bars, tapas and SF-based Om Records recording artists spinning sweet, soulful beats until your heart’s content.

And keeping in true Spanish tradition, Desigual alongside OM Records and 944 Magazine will keep the party going strong as they host an invitation-only VIP party at the store from 7 pm-10 pm, with DJ/Instrumentalist Chuck Love. The OM artist is known for his jazzy, groovy DJ sets complimented by his vocals and live instrumentation: guitar, horn, flute, keyboard. Another OM veteran, Al Velilla, will back up Chuck with live percussion.
