Chillin'- Art, Fashion & Music
With
over 60 fashion designers, 80 artists and 40 filmmakers, you would
think this evening would be anything but chill. But Irene Hernandez-Feiks
has been doing this for a while that she makes it look easy. Whether
you're there to see RC Rivera or Paul Kaiser's photography, Nathan
Caitlin's print work, Mixerfriendly's clothing or the eco-friendly
jewelry and accessories from 19 Moons, just to name a few, there's
so much variety in fashion, art and film that you could get all your
Christmas shopping done in one swoop. And the evening wouldn't be complete
unless there was some kind of musical talent present say like KrisX,
Russell Vargas, Laron, Didje Kelli, Dirtyhertz, Taj and Dave Madix.
With such an extensive artist and DJ lineup, who can resist such a
chill event? Date: Sat, 12/1, Time: 8pm to 2am, Place: Mezzanine, 444
