I know what you're doing this weekend...

I know it's only Tuesday, but for those of you who like to plan your weekend in advance, there are two events going on that are worth stopping by.

The first is an event that we will be participating in on Sunday afternoon at Hiro Ballroom, Pop Souk. Conceived by the inimitable Ladyfag, who ran a vintage shop in her previous life, the pop-up market will feature nightlife personalities and fashion fiends selling their designs, their closet castoffs, and even their baked goods. We'll be selling Triskaidekaphobia Jewelry alongside our friends Arms and Armory, Chrishabana, Chromat, Telfar, Patricia Field, and Ying Chu (and many, many more).  There will be a one-day-only discount of 50% off retail.

Now that I've made a completely shameless personal plug, I thought I should also let you know about the Fight Like A Girl Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness at Slope Suds in Park Slope.   As some of you might know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Slope Suds is participating in raising money with an all day event featuring a bake sale, a raffle, personalized gift bags, and discounted skincare services. All proceeds raised from the event will go to breast cancer research.

Hope to see you out this weekend!

Triskaidekaphobia Fall 2011 Lookbook

Finally, our Triskaidekaphobia Lookbook is done!  This season was inspired by high school memories, keepsakes, and friendship/promise rings, Sweet Sixteen parties and Bat Mitzvahs, and our favorite song lyrics and quotes. We have two necklaces made of pennants, one which says "LOVE" on one side and "FEAR" on the other, and another which says "HIDE" on one side and "SEEK" on the other. We also have a banner that says "you can be my silver springs" from the Fleetwood Mac song "Silver Springs," and another banner which says "I started a joke which started the whole world crying" which is from the Bee Gee's song "I Started A Joke." The collection will be arriving in stores shortly, you can view our full stocklist here.

Special thanks to all of our talented friends who helped make it all possible, in spite of a nasty rainstorm in the middle: our gorgeous model, Lulu Chang, our photographer, Serichai Traipoom, our Hair Stylist, Dakota Heman, and our Makeup Artists, Terese Bennett.

Fast Track

I've been following Bangkok based brand The Only Son ever since it arrived at Fiftytwo Showroom a few seasons back.  Designed by Au Ekbutr Udomphol, the collection caters to both sexes, with its structural cuts and incredible construction.  Spring 2012 was inspired by race car drivers, and a look at the clothes reveals hints of the suits that they wear, the tracks of the tires, and the bold colors of the cars themselves. Although I wouldn't necessarily call the clothes futuristic, they do have a bit of a techie quality to them, and even the silkscreened pieces have the strange feel of vinyl mixed with cotton.  Even though I don't know how to drive, two of my favorite pieces are a sheer race car jacket, and a jumpsuit style romper. Obviously, you don't need to be behind the wheel to appreciate these clothes.
