San Francisco Independent Fashion
Party with the peeps behind soon-to-open Western Addition art space Workshop tonight. Buy adult beverages and help them earn funds to create the multipurpose community art space of their dreams, a place to “make shit with your friends over a cold beer and in a laid back environment (their words).” Sounds like our kinda hideout.
Yes, if it seems like we just featured a news roundup, that’s because we did. But we’ve got more news. So here’s another one comin’ atcha….
Jobbie job alert: Mitch got in touch from Theory to say he’s looking for a fashion-savvy sales associate for the Maiden Lane store. It could be full or part time, depending. If you’re interested in a retail gig with the store, contact him at mitchs (at) theory (dot) com.
Jobbie job alert part deux: GAMA-GO is also hiring. We imagine it would be tres fun to work for this cool SoMa company.
Ugh. And another one bites the dust. Bernal Heights eco boutique Ladita is, we’re sad to say, closing its doors in two weeks. Until then, take 40 to 70 percent off everything in the store as it liquidates merch, fixtures and even its mannequins.
Harputs Market is getting its discount on, too. Anything from a previous season – i.e. not spring/summer ’09 – is on sale for $100-$150. That means Ann Sofie Back, Junya Watanabe, Comme Des Garcons for prices you’ll rarely see outside of a serious sale.
Feeling sew-sew? Check out the latest and greatest issue of Modern Seamster magazine for free. It’s the second offering from this San Francisco-based publication.
Thursday night is gettin’ packed. Covet Boutique celebrates its grand opening with a party, Divisadero gets down with the Divisadero Arts Walk and Shotwell is having a sample sale featuring the revamped vintage creations of Taxi CDC. Find all the details on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
y & i is having its twice-yearly clearance sale this week. Through June 7, head to the Marina boutique for 30 to 70 percent off merch.
Need supplies for D.I.Y. projects, cheap art materials, furnishings, etc.? Try the Palo Alto Citywide Yard Sale this Saturday.
CC Rider is putting its space up for rent (don’t worry, they’re just moving up the street to a smaller location). If you’re interested in moving into this space, send an email to RENTME (at) CCRIDERSF (dot) COM.
Funky & Fabulous is offering 15 percent off all jewelry through June 20 when you enter Summer09 at checkout.
She-Bible has lots of new dresses for summer up in the online store.
The Indie Mart does its thang again this weekend at The Independent. You’ll find a bunch of new-the-mart designers in the mix, as well as shops like CC Rider and Shotwell on the scene. Along with cool stuff and adult beverages you can buy with your recessionary cash, D.I.Y. stations, live sewing and DJs will be on hand for your observational entertainment. Go on, twist our arms….just don’t spill our drinks in the process.
It all started with some beers, a backyard and a bunch of D.I.Y.-minded peeps at Still Life Clothing co-owner Kelly Malone’s Mission abode. Now Indie Mart is a big ‘ole happening with 40+ indie vendors, live music and a legion of fans. But don’t worry, the super-casj atmosphere, cupcakes and edge you came to know and love are all still in effect.
When we stopped by the last event in December, it was jumping and packed like a suitcase ready for a permanent vacation….which is something we sorta wish we could take right now. Good thing we can content ourselves with all the great events going down this weekend.

Be sure to check out all our pals during the Divisadero Corridor Arts Walk tonight. Pop into Frankee Uno Salon & Gallery for a dose of good art and smashing style advice. Delve into the wondrous array of local fashions, vintage and unique apparel at Still Life Clothing and Backspace. Knock back a few at Fly Bar or Madrone.
