Sew Fab Preview Party

Sending lots of love and a huge hug to everyone who attended the Sew Fab preview party on August 9! Thank you for making my exhibition debut a success! Sew Fab is an exhibition and book preview that includes sample spreads from my forthcoming book and new designs for men, women, and the home. Part of the collection is available online (yay). You may have missed the opening reception but you have time to make an appointment or come to the closing reception on Saturday August 30th from 6-9pm.

 

Here's a little taste from our opening on our Warehouse Gallery Instagram page.

A special thank to our sponsors who made the party extra sweet! The Treats Truck, Six Point Brewery, + MILK Momofuku Bar! 

I hope to see you on the 30th or before! Please RSVP to [email protected].  Thanks for the support and love with this 1st show -- I appreciate you all cheering me on. . . there's more to come :).

EXPOSED

My wonderful husband, kamau ware, is showcasing his photography alongside our dear friend photographer Kamau Z. Akabueze at the Sweet Lorraine Gallery. The Gallery is located in the same building as our shared studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn. EXPOSED, the exhibition's title, is a magical monochrome encounter with physical, natural, and interpersonal landscapes. It's also an upclose and personal look at two friends who have lots in common which gives the show just the right amount of whimsy -- a must see! 

I'll be hosting special gallery hours this weekend -- email me to schedule a time to visit: 

• Friday 3/28 2:30p - 6p 
• Saturday 3/29 by appointment only 
• Sunday 3/30 2:00 - 6p 

It would be awesome to walk you through their show, please come by and support two of my favorite guys!

p.s. the Kamau on the left is mine:)

Sabine + me

In November, we opened Warehouse Gallery + I finished writing my 1st book, Sew Fab. Sew Fab is a guide on sewing, fashion, and style for budding fashionistas. When my publisher recommended Sabine Pieper to illustrate the book and I looked at her work for a few seconds and said, "ABSOLUTELY, she's brilliant!". I'm sew lucky to have my words alongside her high fashion illustrations and now our work hangs together on the walls of Warehouse too! We each have pieces in the current exhibition, Suit. I have 3 bow ties from my forthcoming line of neck-wear, Tye, and Sabine has 3 pieces from her amazing portfolio, one is below. 

Today is the closing of Suit at Warehouse and I'd love to make an artsy proposition to Creative Cookie followers...

The 1st 3 readers to purchase one of Sabine's prints or one of my ties will get a signed, advanced, copy of Sew Fab once it's off the presses! You can have both of us on your bookshelf, your wall, or maybe even around your neck.

I invite you to collect some fab art and be apart of our story, after all it is Women's History Month!! Email me or leave a comment below for size and pricing details. You can also attend the closing reception this eve, 8-10p! xo   

This fierce art by Sabine should be yours
