Runway Recap: SF Style Eco Fashion Show

November 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

For a show that was billed to be a premier fashion event of the holiday season, reminiscent of Fashion Night Out in New York City, last week’s SF Style 2010 Eco Fashion Show definitely had room for improvement. The ballroom at the Bentley Reserve was picture-perfect. Unfortunately, the large venue was not filled to capacity, and it seemed that the models lacked experience as they walked the runway. However, the eye-catching designs from Lorian Lindsay, Ethos Paris, Oda and Rachel Znerold were worthy of their spot on the runway. Overall, this event has a lot of potential and we would like to see what it may evolve into in the future.

The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events This Week

November 15, 2010 By 4 Comments


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

  • Take a fashionable break mid-week during a Spring/Summer 2011 preview event from San Francisco label gr.dano, whose designers Brian Scheyer and Jill Giordano were chosen to participate in this year’s prestigious California Design Biennial and also featured in the 2010 7×7 magazine Style Council. Held at 440 Brannan Studio in SoMa, the event features a live model exhibit, as well as vino and other refreshments. The full SF Indie Fashion crew will be in attendance, along with folks from Polyvore and The Chic Spy.
  • Thursday brings the start of the Liz Palacios Sample Sale, which marks the only time the San Francisco-based jewelry company’s headquarters will be open to the public all year. Stop by for discounted prices (many below wholesale) on the line’s accessories made with Swarovski crystals, enamel and semi-precious stones. The sale runs 10 am-6 pm on Thursday and Friday.
  • Come Thursday night, style hounds from all over San Francisco will have reason to celebrate during San Francisco Style 2010 festivities. In an effort to highlight fashion and style in San Francisco (a la Fashion’s Night Out in New York), the citywide event includes an eco-fashion show at the Bently Reserve, a pop-up shop featuring local designers at SPUR and late store hours at boutiques in numerous neighborhoods. You’ll find individual event details on the San Francisco Style Facebook page.
  • Once the weekend rolls around, it’s a fine time to kick off your holiday shopping during Sunday’s Thread at the Metreon. Along with a slew of local and independent fashion and accessories designers offering great deals on merchandise (up to 80 percent off retail), the event promises live fashion presentations, giveaways, beauty perks at the complimentary hair and makeup style lounge, a clothing swap and drink specials. Admission is $1o at the door, $5 with an advance RSVP and $8 if you show proof of your arrival by public transportation or bring a bag of clothing to swap.

In the midst of a rain-filled week, we’re letting a little sun shine in, thanks to Alex Keenum and Amy Soderlind of Refuses to Label. For this shoot, the stylish duo ventured to the Marina district, where Amy posed in a thrifted camel suede skirt and vintage black platform booties, a cropped grey t-shirt by American Apparel, H&M faux fur vest and Spanx tights.

See, sometimes finding yourself up against a wall ain’t so bad…

Refuses to Label: the creative outlet of two lifelong friends with similar aesthetic addictions: vintage, design, art, photography, music. Artists themselves; this is the documentation of they’re combined inspirations and daily vintage fits.
