The Aftermath: S/S 09 Launch Party @ Redeem

Over the weekend, we had the great pleasure of hosting an in-store event at Redeem with Sean, Dana, and Brittany of Wrath Arcane. We also made a new friend, Davina of Plastic Heaven. Lori, the owner of Redeem, is a kindred spirit. Her team of assistants and especially her husband are just too amazing for words. This is the kind of boutique we enjoy being in. We debuted our Spring/Summer collections and mingled with DC! Lovely town, AWESOME restaurants, and great people. Repeat visits to this thriving neighborhood are indefinite. Here are some photos of the event (more to come!):

Etienne De Crecy + DJ Feadz
Webster Hall on Friday April 17

We have been fans of Etienne De Crecy for years - he is one of the best French electro-house artists around... he is... 'ow you say?... splendide!!!
If you don't know this guy, let us give you a quick guide... check out his excellent electro stomper 'Fast Track' and the French House classics 'Am I Wrong?'"and 'Tempovision'...but all these are from a year or two ago... if you want to know what this crazy Frenchie is up to these days - check out this madness right here (we don't know the name of the song yet - but we are in love!!)



Someone else we don't see enough of this side of the Pond is Ed Banger Records' fabulous DJ Feadz - who is one of the very best DJs on the label's roster. This guy KILLS it every time - his sets are pure insanity... He's the guy who produced all of Uffie's tracks with Mr. Oizo and we are happy to have him back in New York.

All in all, it's a night of French electro that is sure to get your juices flowing!!! Mon Dieu!!! Zut Alors!!!!
