This weekend, I also stopped into the
Uptown Emerging Designers Market hosted by my friends Michelle and Enyinne...


As soon as I stepped into the Hip Hop Cultural Center, I was delighted to see tons of indie designers, including
Burden Clothing,
Cut it out Apparel,
Harriet's Alter Ego, and of course
Seasoned to Perfection.
While there were many many options, I only stopped and chit chatted with a few. One who caught my eye was
D. Brown...

...she makes jazzy custom made t-shirts, emblazoned with her initials...

...along with custom made men's jeans and accessories (I liked her sequined berets!). Check her out at
www.myspace.com/dbrownfashion.Another designer to look out for: Nkrumah Jennings, designer of the jewelry line
Anu...

...I knew I was just there to look around, but I couldn't help but shop at his table! I picked up a pair of cute gold earrings and a bold necklace (he actually shortened the necklace for me as I stood there). He's on myspace as well at
www.myspace.com/anurockmetal.All in all it was a great event!
I saw a few Fashion Bombers in the house...thanks for rolling out! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the next
Uptown Emerging Designers Market in July!
ooh you are making me miss New York! I used to intern at Harlem Textile Works! They do great things!
