It’s January. The calendar just flipped to a new year. This always makes me get a little dreamy. I dream about what will be in the months to come. I dream about all the goodness to happen. I dream about where I want to be in my life. I think about the 12 months I have before me to reach my new goals and make things happen. This always seems a good time to me to have fun with my wardrobe too. I like to buy something might not wear to the office … something just for me that reminds me the whole year to keep dreaming.

We can always count on Williamsburg Fashion Weekend to mark, if not celebrate, the close of official NY Fashion Week shows. For nine seasons they have been merging, and supporting, independent fashion and independent music. This season we spy a darling in the line-up: Alisha Trimble. In years past, the band ladies have been the models — we love that. Get the full list of independent designers showing, as well as the bands, on the WFW website. Then just prepare yourself for a wee bit of lovely chaos, and a whole lot of originality. If you get there, leave a comment and share your blog or pics with us!
Williamsburg Fashion Weekend
Williamsburg Fashion Weekend’s 9th season will be held on September 16th and 17th at Windmill Studios, NYC at 287 Kent Ave. in Brooklyn, New York. WFW provides a platform for young and emerging fashion designers who push the boundaries of design, presentation, production, ultimately re-evaluating the fashion industry as a whole. Past participants have shown us there are many creative ways to be ‘green’ through recouturing, upcycling, recycling, eco-friendliness, transparent business practices, and artisan techniques. This season will be a feast for the audience’s eyes, ears, hearts, and minds. Shows run the gamut from fashion as conceptual art to ready-to-wear and incorporate live music, theater, and dance. The shows are always raw, experimental and forward thinking.
