The Do List: SF Fashion Events Jan. 30-Feb. 5

January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Three things I generally can’t get enough of: retro-inspired fashion, deals on local designers and getting seriously geeky about blogging. Good thing there’s a little of each one on the horizon this week. The 2nd annual Lesley Evers Studio Sample Sale in Berkeley means a chance to save up to 80 percent on the designer’s v. cute printed dresses, skirts and tops. In San Francisco, I’ll be speaking at Thursday’s FIDM fashion blogging event with Fashionista Lab, Calivintage, FashionablyAshley and iFabbo. Last but not least, Friday’s Girl Power Hour brings a chance to network and unwind at the same time.

See you out and about!

On the style forecast this week: plenty of snow, the kind that’s actually conducive to heels and comes around but once a year. Snow, A White Fashion Event is back with its annual show featuring all-white collections from local designers and an audience clad in outfits to match. Also on the horizon this week: another Do-It-Yourself Marketing event at TechShop San Francisco put on by jewelry designer Shana Astrachan and Genevieve Robertson of Lightbox SF, a men’s vintage fashion show in the Mission, the return of Geek Style Lounge and the kickoff of the Treasure Island Flea winter pop-up.

Now that ’12 is officially underway (’cause we all know the first week doesn’t really count), San Francisco fashion events are popping up after a holiday hiatus. This week, we’re betting local fashion fans will carve out time for the launch event of a new fashion and technology accelerator program, the second SF Fashion + Tech event and the always-fun annual sample sale at the Oakland studio of Verrieres & Sako.

Runway Recap: Ginger Rubio Salon’s “The Hunt”

Looking for wildly inventive New Year’s Eve hair inspiration? Maybe you’ll pick up a few ideas from Ginger Rubio Salon‘s The Hunt fashion and hair event, held at DNA Lounge this fall. Channeling Little Red Riding Hood and Twilight, the model’s moody up-dos, “boho meets barbarian” men’s cuts, feathers, braids and exaggerated extensions were inspired by German forests, supple leather, utility, fantasy and history.

Party-goers packed the massive venue to its gills and danced to the beats of house DJs Adrian and Mysterious D while waiting for the unveiling of the Ginger Rubio crew’s transformation of the models waiting in the wings.

When they appeared, models with hair by the Ginger Rubio team and makeup by Nikole Elaine made their way down the runway sporting  smokey eyes and muted tones just as Mysterious D kicked up the beats on the ones and twos in time with the models on the stage. Hot on their heels were oohs and ahs from the audience and satisfaction from the stylists and curators backstage.

Below, a few more shots from this avant garde San Francisco style event.

The Do List: SF Fashion Events Dec. 19-25

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Now that we’re legitimately into a holiday week, San Francisco’s fashion and style landscape quiets down. But don’t think it’s going to stop. There are worthy events (shoes? whiskey! comedians?!) ahead this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar. We’ve called out a few of our favorites below. Happy holidays to all.

  • On Tuesday night, San Francisco shoe designer Martha Davis and jewelry designer Jeannine Payer are holding a Pop Up Reception in honor of their month-long pop-up shop at Sacramento Street’s Birch. Head over before heading into the holidays to mingle with these two local creatives and shop their latest pieces.
  • Another Tuesday happening worth a local fashion fan’s attention is a virtual one: FashFilmFest’s $2 Tuesday. It’s a call to everyone who’d like to see the festival become a reality to donate $2 to the Kickstarter campaign to help the founders (Adelle, Kim and Annie) reach their funding goal before Christmas.
  • Later in the week, get your laugh on at the annual Kung Pao Kosher Comedy Festival, which brings Jewish comedy to the stage on Christmas (and extra days this year) in a Chinese restaurant. Shows take place Dec. 23-25.
  • If you need last-minute gifts from a local source, many boutiques will be open late on Christmas Eve, including Mission Street shop and gallery Secession Art + Design, where doors will stay open ’til 7 p.m. and whiskey and cookies will be served.
  • The rest of the weekend will be quiet in San Francisco fashion land as many hole up with their friends and families to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza. Enjoy the time off, rest and rejuvenate. 2012 is only right around the corner.

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
