Press Release: February 14th, 2011

Lovesick 4

If the third time's the charm, then LoveSick 4 means all hope is lost.

The shopping malls and street corners are filled with the heady aroma of flowers and chocolate, but to those of us that are sick of love, it smells like ashes.

Don't give in to despair just yet.

If you're burnt out on romance, come reignite for just one night.

Wash away the taste of regret with booze from the cash bar, drown out
the sound of your self-pity with music from DJ Deevice (http://soundcloud.com/djdeevice) and a live set from the Goldenhearts. There will also be a trunk show.

The light that burns burns twice as bright lasts half as long, so come to LoveSick 4 for one night of glorious conflagration.

Featuring designs from: Alexandria von Bromssen, Tamo Designs, Silver Lucy, My Dirty Dishes, Miss Velvet Cream, RAG-DOLL Designs by Larissa Verdussen, Ms G Designs, Fluidance & Jasmin Zorlu Millinery.

thread | bare : TONIGHT! JUNE 11 at THE LAB in San Francisco 7pm Doors

2010-06-11T13:41:00.000-07:00

SF BAY GUARDIAN:

thread | bare

Why shop at the boring ol' mall when you can support local designers — and see the clothes in a runway show populated by local performers, including the fabulous Fauxnique? Plus, not for nothing is "thread | bare" dubbed "a striptease fashion auction," since you can bid on, and get your mitts on, outfits as soon as they come down the catwalk. If you can't make tonight's festivities, which also feature a performance by all-male burlesque troupe SF Boylesque, stop by the Lab to peruse the goods during the weekend-long trunk show. Designs include the "neo-couture" of Miss Velvet Cream, graphic tees by Turk and Taylor, dresses by Invisible Hero Clothing, and more, plus several artists who work with repurposed materials, including Kittinhawk, Mittenmaker, and Ghetto Goldilocks. Recycling is fierce! (Eddy)

7–10 p.m., $10–$20

Trunk show Sat/12-Sun/13, noon-6 p.m., free

The Lab

2948 16th St., SF

(415) 864-8855, www.thelab.org

Runway show and live auction:

Trunk show:
Saturday and Sunday, June 12 – 13, 12 – 6pm
Free admission
Your emcees: Michelle Tea and Danyol Leon
DJ: Warm Leatherette
Performance by: SF Boylesque

thread | bare is a celebration of Bay Area independent fashion spirit. Local designers innovating in form, material, and interpretation create one-of-a-kind works and are brought together with performers to showcase their fabrications. The clothes are auctioned right off the models as they walk the runway, while scores of outfits and accessories are available in the concurrent trunk show.
Read why 7x7 Magazine thinks thread | bare is a must see.

Scatha G. Allison/Miss Velvet Cream: For tomorrows urban nomad. Miss Velvet Cream is neo-couture clothing that embodies silhouettes of the past with dreams of the future, all bridged by the conscious present. MVC design is guided by aesthetics of construction and innovation that are individualized, craft-intensive and committed to excellence in quality, wearability and above all, beauty.

Jason Dunman: "Art and Fashion are the same to me.. I dress myself up pretty and I just try to do the same to whatever I am working on. One could say clothes are the mediums, and the body is a blank canvas or that fresh block of clay. I just put on, or make what feels and looks good... to me."

Julian Prince Dash makes jeans from scratch because it is his destiny. he loves to eat fried chicken and sushi, does not like fashion, belongs in outer space and does it for the kids.

SUNDAY!

And here's what is inspiring me right now.....

[E. V. Day]
“what helped me in imagining new forms for these costumes was all the evidence
of life that I found inside them: multiple alterations, perspiration
stains, dirt from dragging frilly petticoats across the stage so many
miles, makeup smudged around the collars and layers of tags sewn inside
showing their provenance: the characters, the productions, the stages
they’d played.”

Tiffa, you are missed. In so many ways. And so much of you still here, glowing, flowing and evolving. I see your influence in so many places. But it's not you. And I miss you and I'm nostalgic for all that could have been. I know it's not just me. Love to you, in the starlight. Blessings to your family. Much respect, radiating heart.

TONIGHT! August 7, if you're in the Bay Area, please do stop by this double show from my darling friend and often collaborator photographer Angela Scrivani.

[Angela Scrivani photographed by Ashton Rounds]

The Warehouse show will feature a WALL! of images from our projects together. There is a combination of backstage images from the Style Clash show at Temple May 11, 2009. This was a fashion show with Estar doing the hats and headpieces. The second series is from a photoshoot at Hotel des' Arts on May 12, 2009. In 2006, I painted Room 503 as a guest artist in the Painted Rooms series at the hotel. This was the first time I was able to go back as a clothing artist and do a photoshoot with my clothing set against my paintings.

I have the upmost thanks and respect to Angela for all the work she's done and I'm delighted to see the images printed for the first time....!

As always, all of these projects take a unique collaboration of all different skills and arts, and my deepest Thanks and Appretiation for all the energy from every individual that has gone into all of these project. None of these would happen without you. Thank you.

Also, if you're in RENO! Tamo, Silver Lucy and Rachel of Minerva's Antenna will be hosting a Trunk Show at the Melting Point Gallery with a collection of designer gear for the Burning Man Festival 2009. miss velvet cream will have a rack of transformative delights for your wearing pleasure.....
