Happy Monday darlings – if you are in the Chicago area don’t miss this sidewalk sale this week. There will be runway shows at noon each day, a great reason to sneak out of the office we think! Of course you can also stroll and shop and meet some of the Darlings linked to below who also have Smashing Darling boutiques – perfect. If all of that isn’t reason enough…well the event is also Time Out Chicago’s Event of the Week. Have fun!

Artist & Fleas, Call for Vendors

by Mo on May 14, 2010

116

Happy Friday! The sun will be a-shining and warming us up in Brooklyn this weekend. If you are near Williamsburg go take a stroll through the Market in McCarren and find yourself some local goodness. The market is produced by Artists & Fleas (you can still go shop inside too) and is Brooklyn’s longest-running indie and emerging artist/designer/vintage collector market. I always find something I must have when I pop in (tangent: I found Trishdarling the most perfect sparkly ring there), and I also met the super sweet Jennifer Stewart there. Watch her video below, she made the top five in the Free Enterprise video contest, please go vote for her!

YouTube Preview Image

Wherever your community is across the country, maybe it’s time to get out there and meet your customers. Take a few minutes to read this great article highlighting Artist & Fleas in Inc Magazine: How to Use Your Local Flea Market as a Business Incubator. If you are a designer in the Brooklyn area, learn how to Become a Vendor at the market, they are always looking for people to join their family — and if you do, please let us know!

Sir, is celebrating on September 10th by offering custom order services on its styles for no extra charge, with designer Joanna Baum on hand at the Williamsburg boutique to personally consult with interested shoppers. Sir is also very proud to be hosting an intimate window performance that night with 27-year-old Lia Ices, who WWD has called “a shoo-in for ‘next big thing’ status in the indie fashion and music scene.”

Sir’s relationship with local manufacturers—everything the label does is designed and manufactured in New York City—has led to the creation of its Custom Dressing by Sir division, which allows us to pass on to our clients the ability to pick out a Sir style off the rack, then select a shade for that piece from over 100 options, and place an order for turn-around in two weeks or less.
