THREAD Show, the multi-city shopping event promoting emerging
designers and artists, announces its 2010 lineup of shows, which
will include Orange County, San Diego, Phoenix, Seattle, San Francisco
and Los Angeles. THREAD will showcase 100 independent designers,
as well as complementary music, art, food and entertainment.
"There are loads
of brilliant reasons we should all shop at THREAD," explains Lara
Matthews, founder of THREAD. "This is a unique opportunity to support
independent designers, invest in your local economy and decrease
your carbon footprint. But what I love the most about the designs
I discover through THREAD is that they are not mass-produced and
are made with a level of care and quality that I don't find at most
commercial retailers."
THREAD is a unique
event at which attendees can shop from independent designers, purchase
art, house wares and eco-friendly designs, listen to live bands
and DJs, watch fashion shows unveiling upcoming trends, receive
complimentary styling in the THREAD Style Lounge, recycle their
old clothes and sip, eat and mingle to their heart's content. The
2010 shows will feature clothing and accessories for men, women
and children, jewelry, furniture, art, house wares, books and eco-friendly
designs. Attendees can expect high-quality and high-creativity designs
in a more comfortable, energized and interactive shopping environment
than conventional retail spaces offer. What truly differentiates
THREAD designers from their mass-produced competitors is their commitment
to the traditional beauty and art of design, with passion and quality
that is second to none.
By allowing shoppers
to skip the third-party retailer, THREAD gives trend-setters an
opportunity to meet the designers face-to-face, feed the local economy,
be kind to the environment and ensure products are locally-made
and ethically produced. This one-on-one connection also allows designers
to get direct feedback from their consumers.
