THE BROOKLYN CIRCUS

I promised you yesterday some goodies, well here they are! Last saterday I visited The Brooklyn Circus shop. The guys were so nice to let me shoot some pictures to share with you. I very much like the style of the updated varsity inspired clothes and the old props, like the football helmets etc. You can see and feel that everything they do in the store is with love, how they present the garments and how they welcome and help the customers, like myself. 

"The Brooklyn Circus/BKc story begins in 2006 in a quaint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York with the aim to strengthen consumers’ appreciation for classic aesthetics and antique motifs whilst upholding the pillars of modern design within a hundred year plan. With time-tested values of classic American craftsmanship, a love for urban tradition, vintage sensibilities, and an endless search for the timeless silhouette" 

BEADED BELTS NOT JUST FOR INDIANS

Add some color to your outfit by wearing a Native American inspired beaded belt. These belts are a true color block. The first known beaded belts where made by the Indians to mark exchanges for marriage as well as for ceremony and condolence ceremonies. When Europe came to the Americas these beaded belts where used as a currency to trade with. Today you must pay with local currency to get such a beautiful belt from Will leather goods.

THE BKC @ PROJECT NEW YORK

This week a small but curated fashion fair was held in New York called Project Show and one of the participants was The Brooklyn Circus also known as BKC. They showed their Fall/Winter 2012 collection of Varsity jackets & sweaters styled among trophies, helmets and other sport gear. (pics via tucked style).

Whenever you are in New York, make sure you pay a visit to the store of the "Bearded Man" in Brooklyn on 150 Nevins Street
