Thread

Thread is a fashion event slightly off the beaten path. Shop for one-of-a-kind pieces from independent designers, sip a cocktail, hum a tune. It's going down in LA this weekend at the Smashbox Studios, and hits 5 cities between August and December (with repeat visits to LA and SD).

Take a deep breath. And brace yourselves. You have fashion coming out of your ears. From trade shows to fashion weeks to more trade shows to the ginormous Vogue September issue to the change in seasons; you're over your gladiator sandals, your head is spinning and your credit card is trembling. But it's OK. Because Thread is not time sensitive, so if you have too much on your fashion plate now, you can save this for an end-of-year snack!
