Williamsburg foodie destination Marlow & Sons is promoting an ethical approach to fashion. The restaurant, which butchers all of the animals it serves, is now introducing a line of leather goods. While it may sound bizarre for the eatery to be launching a namesake accessories line, the move is actually an extension of the restaurant's commitment to sustainability. The bags are made from leather sourced from the pigs and cows that have been butchered in-house. What's brewing in LA tonight?
On the other side of the U.S., "sixty-two artists have come together in Glendale to showcase art created with materials salvaged from Deukmejian Wilderness Park," says Refinery 29 of a soon-to-open installation in Los Angeles. Among them: LA-based designer Corinne Grassini of Society For Rational Dress, who crafted a long white silk dress with an oversized black neck-piece for the occasion. Proceeds from the exhibition will go to benefit the Glendale Parks & Open Spaces Foundation. The opening party is tomorrow night, Saturday June 19, from 5-9 pm, and the show will stay up through July 24.
