The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events This Week

The SF Indie Fashion Calendar is always full of events to keep San Francisco fashion lovers busy with trunk sales, beauty events, fashion shows and places to shop from independent sources.  This week is no exception. Here’s our pick of top events this week:

  • First up, hang with San Francisco Bay Area style and beauty bloggers on Wednesday night at John Colins during a fashion blogger meet-up organized by Wit & Whimsy.
  • If you’re looking to be organic underneath it all, we suggest finding some organic cotton undies at Convert’s Organic Underwear Party on Wednesday (6-9 p.m)
  • Show your love for model and designer, Erin Wasson, at Thursday’s LowLuv Trunk Show (6-9 p.m) where she’ll be presenting her new jewelry line.  Not only do you get to meet Erin, you also get your hands on new LowLuv styles while enjoying drinks and cupcakes.
  • If you’re an up and coming designer, SFMADE’s Manufacturing 411 this Wednesday (6:30-8:30) is a must, as you will learn the ins-and-outs of the manufacturing business in San Francisco by the experts behind 18 Rabbits, Apparel Wiz and SFMade.
  • This weekend, witness the rebirth of San Francisco Fashion Week with an exclusive two-day fashion show showcasing many local designers such as Kathryn McCarron, Vintage Joy and Alexandria von Bromssen. Snag your tickets here.

Sweet in Sausalito: Verrieres & Sako Trunk Show

Oakland-based label Verrieres & Sako makes the trek to Sausalito this weekend to show off its always-sophisticated women’s apparel at Joi Boutique.

Best known for tailored, figure-flattering dresses, skirts and jackets that combine polish with an ever-so-slight dash of retro appeal, the company will be offering up to 50 percent off items from previous seasons alongside the current 2010 collection. Want to meet designers Kimie Sako and Stephanie Verrieres? Stop by Friday night during the designer reception, when made-to-order garments will also be available.

Eat Chic: avant garde supperchic at supperclub

This month at supperclub’s ongoing avant garde supperchic event, Tosca Soraya and Kitty Andrews Millinery are on the evening’s menu, which pairs a three-course dinner with a fashion show and interactive elements such as a photo shoot with a pro photographer.

If you caught Kitty Andrews’ previous supperchic appearance earlier this year, prepare to to see even more edge in this week’s show.

“It will be a bit more over-the-top avant-garde than that show that I had back with Eel & Ermine,” Kitty Andrews’ designer Melissa Bolin tells us.

Dinner before the show is a reasonable $35 for three courses, and you can start the evening off with a Champagne happy hour beginning at 6 p.m. More details below:

In with the Old: Vintage Shopping this Week

For those of you who, like us, are just a little bit obsessed with vintage finds, this is a good week to be free in the evenings in San Francisco. Here are two shopping events worth checking out:

all-vintage-everything-event

After spotting the vintage Lagerfeld bag above while perusing a sneak peek of the items on offer at tonight’s All Vintage Everything Part Deux event from DNA and TheSFStyle, we were even more intrigued than we usually are by the opportunity to snag wearables with a unique sense of history. Should you find yourself similarly smitten, the evening promises apparel and accessories from etsy vintage dealers, including  Goodbye Heart and Lost Feather Vintage, as well as contemporary apparel and accessories from emerging designers. Stop by on the early side for complimentary appetizers from Reaction Restaurant (6-7 pm) and free blowouts from Blow salon, available on a first-come, first-served basis until 8 pm. And for you camera hams, dress to impress: the SFStyle will be snapping pics for their popular San Francisco streetstyle blog. All Vintage Everything Part Deux, Tues. 6-9:30 p.m., SUB-Mission Gallery, 2183 Mission St., SF.

On Thursday night (you know, the night your holiday weekend really begins), venture to the private residence of Fashion Slave founder Kim C. for a summer sale featuring Daisy’s Vintage day dresses, accessories and sunglasses. Those on a budget, take note: dresses are just $15 a piece, so even if you have to alter one a little bit for the perfect fit (as is often the case with vintage apparel), it’s still a great deal. Along with the frocks, there will be a selection of vintage sunglasses frames fitted with new lenses priced at $40. You may have seen them featured earlier in the year on SF Indie Fashion or at Collective boutique in the Mission. Daisy’s Vintage Sale, Thu. 6:30-10 p.m., 448 14th St., SF.
