Meanwhile in Zagreb Pt I

I think one of the most memorable moments during these past adventures was our journey from La Coruña to Zagreb. What should normally be a flight long enough to nap or flip through a few pages of Vouge Español, became an eighteen-hour voyage. 

We arrived in Zagreb in the wee hours of the morning tired, cranky, and in desperate need of bubble bath. However, I was stoked because I would be meeting up with my friend and client, as she was coming from a fashion show hosted by J-Wind in Bucharest. I scribbled a quick email with my hotel room number and something about bear-hugging her when we finally met up, and passed out. 

The next morning, well afternoon, I picked up a ringing phone to hear my friend's voice blurt out her room number. I bounced out of bed so quickly, my husband thought I must have forgotten my passport on the plane or something. I waltzed down the hall of the 5-star hotel as if I weren't wearing my pajamas, and banged the door of room 418. 

When the door opened we shrieked in delight, commenced the catching-up period, and exchanged tales of our adventures over the past month. Between the two of us we had bounced between 7 countries in just a few weeks. We were able to meet up in Zagreb because she was presenting her collection alongside designers such as Kunitar and 8E88, in a fashion show at the opening of the Creative Dimension Zagreb inspired by Toyota.

Check out some of the footage I captured. The show was a success and a huge shout out to our friends at J-Wind for making it all come together. Hip Hip! Hooooray!

The Garment Room





I trust my friend Dez, implicitly when it comes to suggestions for new and upcoming places to check out. So when he told me we were going to visit his friends at the Garment Room, I wasn't surprised at how instantly I fell in love. Not just with the hand-selected vintage pieces, but with the owner, Tiffany, who receives every customer with the warmth and sincerity of what I would expect from a small business in the Midwest. However, when I was informed that she originally hailed from Chicago, it all made perfect sense. I left with a flirty, long-sleeved brocade dress, and a tan Alexander Wang S/S 0'10-ish leather jacket that is so lovely I've named her Cynthia. You can find the Garment Room at 112 Greene Street, lower level (between Spring and Prince Street).
Ashley Scott will be featuring her Drapes in an upcoming trunk show May 9th, so come out and rep!
