Georgetown’s Design District Hosts Pop-Up Open Marketplace with Emerging Local Retailers: Pico Vela, Kim Schalk, IKKON, Elaine B Jewelry and STYLECABLE All Nicely Wrapped Up in One Showroom FREE
Cady’s Alley Bazaar has invited the Harvard Club on Saturday, January 3, 5-7 PM. The pop-up indoor open marketplace features a collection of five up-and-coming online fashion and accessory brands including Pico Vela, Kim Schalk, IKKON, Elaine B Jewelry and STYLECABLE. The 8,000-square-foot split-level holiday emporium is located at 3330 Cady’s Alley, NW in the heart of Georgetown’s Design District.
Each of the designers/entrepreneurs will discuss the creative process and introduce us to their unique and innovative styles.
This group of selected retailers showcased in the Cady’s Alley Bazaar offer a combination of fashionable clothing and accessories for both men and women and includes:
Pico Vela's beautifully modern sweaters celebrate the creativity, spirit and individuality of women. Each design is hand-loomed by artisans in the USA using natural fibers and custom blended colors. A Pico Vela sweater will become that unique piece in your wardrobe that you will go back to again and again.
Kim Schalk women’s wear is innovative fashion at an unexpected price point. Classically cut silhouettes with a bit of an edge pretty much sums up the design aesthetic of this line. Influences range from a nautilus to the Empire State Building from one piece to the next. But there is always a bit of vintage glamour in every thing that is labored upon.
IKKON maintains one focus: Simple Luxury for the Modern Man. Named one of Details Magazine's "Best Online Men's Shopping Sites" in 2013, IKKON is a mecca for everyday menswear. They’ve done all the legwork to bring the best pieces from today's top men's designers including OVADIA & SONS, Maison Kitsuné, Rick Owens, all Slowear lines (Zanone, Incotex, Montedoro & Glanshirt), Billy Reid, Hartford, Valentino and more. Launched in the spring of 2012 by the three Pazik sisters from Bethesda, Kara, Kristen, and Marisa have a variety of backgrounds in the fashion industry.
Elaine B. Jewelry is a line of entirely handmade jewelry at McGuffey studios in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. Many of the materials are milled from recycled metals, and all of the design and construction is done by hand in studio. Inspiration helps create tiny sculptural worlds using traditional jewelry materials, incorporating geometric elements to make objects that are light and wearable but have a weighty presence.
STYLECABLE offers a new kind of shopping experience. Carefully curating a selection of classic, yet modern and edgy pieces, STYLECABLE provides a virtual marketplace for emerging designers to showcase their latest collections. It’s an outlet for shoppers to not only discover new designers but also search for that perfect find – delivered straight from the designer’s showroom to your closet.
