Fashion Manifesto Book Launch - I'm DJing!

Hope you can make it out to the Whythe Hotel rooftop bar this Wednesday to celebrate the launch of the US edition of the popular Swedish book, Modemanifest.  I have a "recipe" for how to make your own charm necklace in the book, and I'll also be DJing for a bit.  

FASHION MANIFESTO will forever change your relationship to clothes and fashion. Equal parts memoir, manifesto, and how-to, this book chronicles the experiences of fashion journalist, Sofia Hedström, as she subjected her overweight wardrobe to a detox and withdrew from clothes-shopping for one year.

Thanks For A Great Party!

We had such a blast at the USA Made trunk show this weekend.  Thanks to everyone for coming out!  I have a few of these one-of-a-kind Vapour Rings still left.  Email me if you want one!  Silver rings are vintage sterling, and gold is gold plated.  Both are made with components from the 1970's and 1980's.
