This weekend my studiomate and I hosted our very first event. We were SO excited and honored to have the lovely ladies of Lobo Mau feature their latest pieces at our space, Colab Studios. Despite the huge, chunky snowflakes coming down on these Philly streets the turnout was fantastic and a lot of people walked away with fabulous Lobo Mau purchases.
With tea candles, Christmas lights and our bright yellow chairs, the
space was transformed into a boutique that complimented Lobo Mau's
design aestheritc. You see that model form in the corner? It belongs to
my mother and I've been dying to have it in my space. She inherited
this 1962 size 10 gem from the sewing studio she worked in, and I
played in years ago when as a little girl. It was a special moment to have it in my
own studio.
I loved seeing Lobo Mau's Amazon inspired screenprinted goodies and fell in love with the necklaces, made from brightly painted seed beads straight from the garment district of Rio de Janiero.
Between the chatting, catching up with friends and admiring the wares I was beat (as you can see in the last picture below right, I was trying to rest my feet) but I had a great time and look forward to having more events in the future.
