Party Seen: SF Fashion + Tech’s French Technique

SF Fashion+Tech gave us a reason to celebrate the fashion capital’s independence. In honor of Bastille Day, designers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and media gurus gathered in SoMa for some mixing and mingling, a Paris-inspired fashion show featuring the eco-friendly apparel of Palo Alto label Amour Vert and displays from Bay Area companies such as ModeWalk and LIFT by Yappo.

Below some images from the festivities. You’ll find more on our Facebook page.

SF Fashion Events: Fashion + Tech Mingling, ArtPoint Gala at de Young

A mid-summer lull in events is upon us, but there are, we’re glad to report, two noteworthy San Francisco fashion events that caught our eye for the week ahead. Get a head start on the weekend while still feeling oh-so productive by popping into Thursday’s French-themed FW1 Industry Mixer for anyone interested in fashion and technology. A stacked guest list, free entry and $100 ModeWalk gift certificates to the first 300 attendees are enticing enough, but a fashion show by eco line Amour Vert and lots of locals chatting and mingling should tip the scales in favor of I’m going. Come Saturday, the place to be is the de Young Museum, where ArtPoint’s annual Bastille Day celebration goes down.  Dubbed Paris is Burning this year, the gala’s tickets are pricey, but include after hours access to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit, drinks and a chance to dance to DJ tunes through the museum’s normally-hushed halls.

Find details on these and other upcoming San Francisco fashion events waiting on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar. And of course, as you know, it doesn’t stop there. We’re adding new fashion happenings all the time, so check back often.
