February 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Yes, Fashion Week is kicking off in #NYC. But there are still reasons to love life in San Francisco. If you’re computer-bound, as I often am, spend free minuteswatching livestreams from New York fashion blogger conference IFBCon and the Fashion Week runway show featuring local alums of Academy of Art University. Also enticing and on the horizon are Thursday’s Pre-Valentine’s Day Party at Photobooth and, once the weekend rolls around, the return of the always-fruitful BCBG & Ella Moss Sample Sale and the most recent I.R.L. Black Pyramid Pop-Up, sure to prompt fans of recent vintage to make a beeline for the Haight.

See you out and about!

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

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!

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.

Altitude Showroom Opens to Public with Sample Sale

October 6, 2011 By 1 Comment

Oh to be a buyer and shop at wholesale prices (or know someone who knows someone). Well, thanks to Altitude Showroom, you can. Usually open only to professional retail buyers, the San Francisco showroom and rep for independent brands such as Althea Harper and Make Love Not War is opening its doors to the public for a fall sample sale complete with apparel, accessories, handbags, shoes and more at wholesale prices.

Among the designers the showroom represents are also many local names, including Kajan Padraig, Avalove and Akemi Okamoto. During the sample sale, shoppers will find Avalove printed t-shirts and dresses, REVEAL eco-friendly handbags and apparel by Everyday at wholesale prices.

And we dare say there are reasons to go beyond the amazing prices on independent fashion. Just getting a glimpse inside the building, which houses numerous showrooms usually closed to the public, is a fun field trip for a fashion fan. And then there’s Altitude itself. Altitude Showroom owner Karri Ann Frerichs works with independent designers and also teaches workshops and seminars to help designers get market ready through Fashion Market SF, a community organization focused on the growth of San Francisco’s fashion industry.

Ready to go? Call 415-912-7331 or email showroom (at) altitudepromotion (dot) com in advance. Hours: Mon-Fri 11 am-5 pm. Sale in ongoing until inventory is gone.
