NYC: Arche Pop Up Shop Launch Party / Nov 1st / 7-10 PM @ Rouge 58

Tonight from 7-10pm @ Rouge 58
555 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, New York
Music By DJ Lloydski (Da Hardy Boys)
Complimentary Drinks
RSVP@rouge58.com

On November 1st, Rouge 58 will present The Arche, a pop up boutique running for two weeks only, combining emerging talent and established designers in both fashion and jewelry. This inaugural installment will reflect the dark minimalism that has become an essential element of New York style. Playing on the industrial space of the gallery, clothes will be displayed suspended at different lengths from chains, whilst jewelry will be displayed hanging from a pillar in the middle of the store using satin ties and encased in a jewelry box.

The Arche is a collaboration between Nadja Nebas, owner of Rouge 58, and New York fashion photographer Chris Reed - the duo recognized what was lacking was an innovative platform to showcase brands respected by their community and recognized as influential in the underground scene. Adopting the word ‘arche’, referencing Greek philosophy that derives from the archaic period, it’s meaning lies in the root, the origin, the source. As a new pop up entity aimed to kickstart burgeoning young designers, the name was apt and held resonance.

Be there or be pyramid.

NYC - Black for Rouge 58: Brother From Another Mother

You know that old adage - "behind every good man is an even better woman. " Well, in this case, it's great women with great men supporting us. When it comes to a community of creative women, there are certainly male friends and family who have helped support in many, many ways.

One of those guys happens to be my brother from another mother photographer Kareem Black. Kareem has a new photo exhibition in Brooklyn next week at Rouge 58.

"Inspired by Guy Bourdin, his most favored photographer, Kareem collaborated with acclaimed stylist Harold Melvin to creatively direct seven images reminiscent of one of the greatest advertising photographers of our time. Exclusively shot for Rouge 58 to coincide with New York Fashion Week, it echoes Bourdin’s legendary Exhibit A series, Kareem has aptly titled his series as Exhibit B, both as an homage to the photographer and a reference this own last name.

Coming from an industry obsessed with the face and eyes as the anchor of beauty and often a tool for celebrity, Kareem draws on Bourdin’s style; dark humor, awkward playfulness and even violent sexiness."

Support a LLady killer, say hi to Kareem and thank him for supporting Ladies Lotto from its inception.

Secret Public presents FACTORY NIGHT // JULY 15 // @ BLACKOUT BAR

Hey Ladies,

Next week a new party I am starting with my friends SECRET PUBLIC will be having a soft launch on July 15 at Blackout Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It's called "FACTORY NIGHT"- featuring music from The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, The Cure, and other New Wave, Post Punk, New Romantic, + Goth Pop bands.

The night will feature DJ/Artist Lacee Swan and Host/Photographer Chris Reed. We have Marcus Harris all the way from London DJing the night as well. If I weren't out of the town next week I would be djing at this shin dig too!

There is no cover and of course, it's 21+.

If you've never been to Blackout Bar before, which is owned by the same people that run NY boutique chain OAK, it is an amazing bar inside. It's got the darkness and mystery of a dive bar without the sketchyness. If you're into a Gothic, Depression-era, Art Deco aesthetic - then Blackout is your bar du jour.

Here is a little video I made for the night as well. Feel free to e-mail it to your friends, post it up on your TUMBLR, make it your new FB status, etc.

Seven Questions with Artist Lacee Swan

Lacee Swan and her model series shirts have been featured on Refinery29.com, Nylonmag.com, and Elle Germany. She's an artist that uses watercolors, which is pretty rad in my book as I was an avid watercolor user back in my Toys 'R Us days. I was fortunate to get some exclusive and intimate 411 coverage on one of the sweetest artists you will ever know.

1) What is your name, age, occupation(s), location(s)?
"Name:Lacee Swan
Age: 31
Occupations: Fashion designer, t-shirt artist, dj, entrepreneur
Location: Brooklyn, New York"

2) Why do you do what you do? What inspires you in general and in your work? What makes you stand out from other artists?
"I think one unique aspect of my art and design is that I come from a technical, corporate background but my art is anything but corporate. As a watercolorist, I'm as carefree and warm spirited as can be -- painting makes me really happy. In the fashion world, yeah I can put together a tech package, but I like to create and embrace design work as it comes. With art, my world is filled with rainbows and hearts and anything especially girly."

3) What are some current projects you are working on?
"I currently have a t-shirt collection called 'Model Series', capturing the new modeling 'it girls' of people's obsession. I will be presenting new girls this September, along with a new series of watercolor paintings capturing fashion and summer in the city."


4) What are you hoping the future will bring for yourself and your career?
"I would love to see my art featured in more periodicals and ad campaigns. With fashion, I love projects that allow that creativity along with the technical skill."

5) What are your favorite places in BK and the general NYC area?
"Well, I love summers in New York. For many people this is when they escape. But for me it means the Endless Summer Taco Truck on Bedford, The Brooklyn Flea, as well as the Hester Street market, bands by the Waterfront, sidecars at Huckleberry Bar, sitting outside La Esquina and adding to my summer wardrobe at Screaming Mimi's."


6) What's it like to be a creative in a city like NYC for you? Do you feel happy, sad, stressed, paranoid, etc.?
"Well never paranoid. I am pretty fearless. The happy moments are always ten times better when you have the not so happy days mixed in. I don't mind the pressure, I love having to give my all again and again."

7) Do you have any advice, life tips, suggestions for the Ladies Lotto community?
"Take chances when you can in your life. It's best to take chances when you're young, but find a way whatever stage in life you are at."

Lacee will also soon be djing a regular night at BLACKOUT Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn later this month.
Please check out Lacee's work at www.laceeswan.com.

Seven Questions is a Q+A segment I, Susie G, will be doing EXCLUSIVELY for Ladies Lotto. Seven Questions will be featuring female artists, creatives, and the like from various locations worldwide. The goal of this is to introduce creatives to the LL community and the interwebs, and hopefully create potential collaborations, networking opportunities, etc. All interviews are done via e-mail correspondence. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have suggestions for future interviewees @ d j s u s i e g [at] g m a i l [dot] c o m.
