Indie Designers at THREAD Show on Sunday
Thread Show at the Cooper Design Space on Sunday.
By Nicole Cifani/Special to LAist
Craving an excuse to spiffy up your summer wardrobe? Well you're in luck, as the bi-annual THREAD Show takes over the Cooper Design Space in downtown LA this Sunday. The one-day show will feature more than 100 hand-picked indie designers, giving us all a great reason to shop locally from prices marked well below retail.
THREAD is a curated indie design and fashion experience with a mission to support work from local and emerging designers. In addition to the LA show, they also do events in San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
Outside of shopping for clothes, accessories, shoes and jewelry, the event will feature a DIY lounge, a pop-up nail salon, wellness lounge, and even a "man cave" for the gents. There will be a DJ, photo booth and art gallery, with drinks and snacks to fuel your afternoon.
Whether you're in it for the shopping, the style, the signature cocktails or the free gift bag, there's definitely something in it for everyone.
The show runs from 11am-6pm this Sunday at the Cooper Design Space in downtown LA.
RSVP here to get in for $5 instead of $10. Kids 12 & under get in free.
