Last Monday night we combined our three favorite past times. Knitting, shopping and dancing the night away.
We set up a special customizing table where everyone was busy making Nina Rich bracelets and headbands and adorning them with ribbons and studs. Shoppers also got to browse through pieces from both the 5Preview and Wool and the Gang collections. We loved how the bold black and white 5Preview t-shirts looked against our Crazy Sexy Wool. The 5Preview girls were also launching there new magazine that night so there was a lot for partygoers to be getting excited about.
And if that wasn't enough, the night was topped off by some great live music from The Bowery Riots and The Growlers, who had the whole place going crazy.
Thanks so much to Inven.tory for being such gracious hosts.
Wool and the Gang + 5Preview + Inven.tory = Fashion Week fun!
Meet our new friends!
We had a visit from the girls behind 5Preview yesterday. The masterminds behind the brands simple white tees with bold graphic prints, came by to give us a preview of their new 5 piece paper magazine. We loved the girls so much we've decided to throw a party next monday with them and the coolest shop in NYC Inventory! (more info below)
"The first issue of 5-piece-paper has the theme "5 photographers". The photographers Camille Quancard, Mark "The Cobrasnake" Hunter, Francesco Ercolini, Sanna Berger & Fredrik Ottosson all got a box of 5preview T-shirts and then they interpreted those shirts in 5 pictures each. The result is stunning! All of these talanted photographers has their own style and all the pictures turned out really different from each other.
It's a bag. Inside there are 5 pieces of paper. Each paper contains an interview with the photographer (made by journalists we found here on the blog), 4 small pictures and on the back a big poster. The posters are printed on high quality Maxioffset 120g ecologic paper.
The design of this particular magazine is made in collaboration with a Stockholm-based graphic-design duo Lovisa & Linnea under the name Studio Ove.”
