It’s that time of year, Capsule NYC is happening in just under a month. I feel like it was only a couple of weeks back when I was up all day and night working on the last collection – oh how time flies! I was at Global Leather last week and I can tell you I got some fun colours to work with! I’ll be instagramming for sure so keep an eye out there. @reiddamnit

What a fantastic night at the Ace! Pieces sold, orders were placed and I met some wonderful people. Here are a few of the photos I managed to get in before the room got too crowded, big big round of applause to Jessica of The Shiny Squirrel for coordinating so many talented people in one room, this will definitely be a regular event for me.

Right before Christmas I hired Jessica Goldfond of The Shiny Squirrel to do what I cannot – talk about me. While I’m not shy to recant the story about the girl flossing on the L-train (the phrase goes The World is your oyster, not the World is your bathroom…), exerts from Seinfeld or what random people yell at me – “hey red, I like your hair”. Jessica is a one woman amaze-machine working harder than anyone I know. Rand Niederhoffer of Thistle & Clover interviews her here on Brooklyn Exposed.

Jessica Goldfond, a longtime Williamsburg resident and co-founder of the PR company Shiny Squirrel, has positioned herself as a connoisseur of all things Brooklyn-based. Through Shiny Squirrel, Jessica’s been helping stores, magazines and consumers navigate the Brooklyn design landscape for the past five years.
“I knew all these people working from their homes and there was no way for them to get exposure. A lot of people didn’t know how to navigate the online world and they didn’t know how to get in touch with editors. I’m trying to create that platform for them.”
Thanks to a strategic partnership between International Playground and Shiny Squirrel, a host of Brooklyn-based furniture, clothing and jewelry designers will get to show their goods off to Manhattan-based buyers and editors who can peruse their selections on their side of the East River. The event is open to the public too, so we hope to see you there enjoying an evening of fun evening of sales, booze, and meeting the designers behind the brands!
This will all take place at Shiny Squirrel’s pop-up shop at New York’s Ace Hotel on Wednesday, February 23rd. from 5:00-9:00pm. 20 West 29th Street.
Designers on hand are Forestbound, Elizabeth Knight Jewelry, Symmetry Goods, LAYERxlayer, Christian Beaujean, Species by the Thousands, Molly Rose, Post, Bhon, Georgia Varidakis, WE ARE HERE, reid.damnit and Laura Lombardi.
