BESTof2004: EVENT REVIEW: "Atousa Presents SEWDOWN", Nov7
(HOLLYWOOD, CA: November 7, 2004) Before you could say "A one sa and a two sa", there I was: inside the historic Hollywood Athletic Club for the event billed as "Atousa Presents Sewdown". Hardly a wait at all, unlike the typical Fashion Week events and their daily dour door-drama-arama. In a word, Sewdown events are always fun.
Okay, that's five words, but before I get too Python and pithy, let me explain. The event was a Post-Fashion-Week final bash, a streetwear-infused fashion, art and music festival at a classic Hollywood hotspot for hotshots. But there was no hotshot 'tude to be had here, all was groovy beats and groovy babes and dancing and mingling and buying of wild wonderful wares. There was a Runway show with not one, not two, but FIFTEEN designers. During the night, on several levels inside the club, you could see and/or buy creations from various designers and shops, such as Nisa, Nunzio, Atousa G., Steelo, Dragonfly, Lychee Line, and Late Bloomer (a great store in a hip L.A. district that's open late, hence their name -- a boutique with clothing and accessories by new hot designers, and even monthly happy hour soirees -- 430 N. Fairfax, 323-651-1358, info@latebloomerstudio.com or visit www.latebloomerstudio.com).
Shopping, partying, dancing and discovery -- and all at an astounding astronomical admission. Yep, $5. For such bliss and beats, it can't be beat. It's one of the best fashion-drinkin-chillin-groovin-stylin events in town. Learn more at www.sewdown.com and plan for the next edition, coming soon. Go down to SewDown and get down!
