do & brew

esa (evolving sustainable apparel) is a lady gang rooted in the mutual desire to learn about our place in the fashion industry as well as the natural world, ultimately, synthesizing these two seemingly unrelated realms. The whole narrative of fashion and nature being two singularly opposed ideals is a tired -- and lazy -- story to tell, and we won’t buy it anymore. Literally.

In partnership with the <A HREF="http://www.nycfairtradecoalition.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NYC Fair Trade Coalition</A> and sponsored by <A HREF="https://nineteenthamendment.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nineteenth Amedment</A>, esa invites you to come celebrate Fashion Week at its DIY party! Bring all your unwanted (doomed for landfill) clothes back to life.  Tranform your t-shirt into something new like a tank or tote bag at our t-vamp station.  Learn to embroider your name with New York's first haute couture embroidery school Ecole Broderies de Luxe at our embroidery station. Embellish away with beads, rhinestones, and These Are Things patches at the embellishment station. Make it truly unique with paint by the help of amazing artist Illvision at the paint station.  Oh and we almost forgot, distress those jeans you haven't worn in years at the jean distress station.  (Trained pals will be at each station guiding you through all the activities) Do it all while sipping on some Brooklyn Brewery beer and wine from our open bar while listening to music provided by <A HREF="http://www.huntforgold.co/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Huntforgold</A>.    
Make sure to bring some spare cash to purchase These Are Things patches and shop fair trade goodies provided by the NYC Fair Trade Coalition!  13.1 million tons of textiles are thrown in landfills annually: we can minimize that and have fun doing it.  You bring your unwanted clothes, and we provide the rest.  P.S. hang out with esa and your updated threads at our after party from 8pm to 10pm. Drinks. Dancing. Beer pong. 
Can it get any better?
