Want to Sit Front Row at Fashion Week? Let Love Brigade be Your Ticket

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

The lights, the camera, the action – New York Fashion Week is a tizzy that only a select few of us get to experience. But if you love independent fashion (of course you do) like us and want to attend a Spring/Summer 2012 show, you’re in luck. Our dear friends at Love Brigade have opened their runway presentation to the public this year, and we have special discounted tickets for you, Indie readers. Click for more information.

Anatomy of a Handbag

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Now that New York Fashion Week is over, it’s time to reflect, reevaluate and recuperate. My fellow editors and I dumped out the contents of our bags to document our Fashion Week experience, or at least what we remember that wasn’t wiped out by excessive drinking and turning.

Consider this an audition tape FOX, because our good friend, and Love Brigade creative director, Tinypants can tear it up on the dance floor.

Fashion Indie friends and booming indie designers, Love Brigade, put out an awesome video and series of photos through The New Pop showing their life during New York Fashion Week. The photos are great, the events looked amazing, and the video just tops it all off. I love the Brigaders, and I can’t wait to see what they are up to next. Oh and did I mention they just had pieces pulled for an upcoming spread in WWD Men’s? AMAZING!

FASHION INDIE PLAYLIST: Grizzly Bear (@ Jelly Pool Party)

Edited by Hillary Frazier

I headed over to the last Jelly Pool Party of the summer yesterday with Alyssa and Jamie from Love Brigade to see friends play dodgeball, and watch Grizzly Bear.   I had heard of Grizzly Bear, but I had never seen them. I was pleasantly surprised by their live show, and I think Mischa Barton, Solange Knowles (or is that Beyonce?), and Jay-Z all were too. The lines were crazy long, and people were trying to jump the fences (one girl ate shit and fell flat on her face), but overall, everyone seemed to be in to the beautiful weather and awesome music. Check out Grizzly Bear on their site, and see photo evidence of the whole day (and after party) by Nicky Digital. Sundays are fundays!

FIRST LOOK: Love Brigade Men’s F/W ’09 Lookbook

Edited by Hillary Frazier

Love Brigade does it again! Their men’s lookbook for Fall/Winter ’09 is just as awesome as the women’s.  The photos are awesome on their own, and the designs are so new and fresh, I’m telling every guy I know to buy everything.  Look for great details, accessories, and designs to hit stores and online next month, and be assured that it will be unlike any other fall collections out this year.

See the rest of the Lookbook on Cult, and keep an eye out for the collection online (Lovebrigade.com and Karmaloop), and in stores (Redeem in DC, and Love Brigade and Friends at 230 Grand street)

FIRST LOOK: Love Brigade Women’s A/W ’09 Collection

Edited by Hillary Frazier

Love Brigade has just released their lookbooks for Fall, and I’m SUPER excited to see all of this stuff hit stores next month.  The women’s line features intricate details on basic tees and dresses, great new fabrics on their classic looks, and innovative designs that you aren’t going to find anywhere else (great job Alyssa!) I can’t wait to see those red (ish) pants with the back detailing, looks SO awesome. The book has a great story to it, and the photos (photog. Rachel Kemper) are absolutely gorgeous.

Check out the rest of the lookbook on Cult, and keep your eye open for the new line in stores (Love Brigade and Friends at 230 Grand, Redeem in Washington DC), and online (Karmaloop.com and the Love Brigade website)
