The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events Dec. 20-26

You can still get your craft on in time for Christmas at Workshop this week.

With less than a week until the fat man shimmies down your chimney, the SF Indie Fashion Calendar is quieting down as local designers, retailers and fashion fans complete their gift-buying frenzies and head out of town. That said, there are still a few choice opportunities to indulge in independent fashion and beauty this week. Here are our picks:

  • If you want to get your craft on before the end of the year, there’s still time, thanks to the classes taking place at Workshop this week. Peep the calendar, and you’ll see such D.I.Y. diversions taking place this week as Sewing Machine 101, Rock ‘N Roll Sewing and Glass Jar Terrariums.
  • In need of last minute gifts? The Mission Statement is offering a different deal each day of the week via its cute, indie-minded advent calendar. Head over for discounts on mineral makeup, men’s jackets, tees and jewelry.
  • On Thursday, you can scoop up locally-made face and body care products for men and women with customizable scents during Heliotrope’s The Last Second-to-Last Thursday Party of the Year. The Noe shop will be offering snacks, Champagne and special discounts while showcasing new products and travel-sized items (also great as stocking stuffers).
  • Once Friday rolls around, we hear the fine folks at Secession Art + Design will be helping last-minute shoppers and having a good time while they’re doing it by breaking out the whiskey, wine and chocolate for shoppers that come through the Bernal Flats’ gallery-boutique’s doors, open ’til 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

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

Party with the peeps behind soon-to-open Western Addition art space Workshop tonight. Buy adult beverages and help them earn funds to create the multipurpose community art space of their dreams, a place to “make shit with your friends over a cold beer and in a laid back environment (their words).” Sounds like our kinda hideout.
