Guilt & Co. began hosting a weekly fashion event called Brick + Mortar towards the end of 2010, and this week is one show you will not want to miss.  Gene Doe is an amazing little band of folks who produce fashion-related media – including photography, video and whatever creative installations lie between. Have a look at their tumblr blog to get a sense of what inspires them.

gene doe: the new space

This weekly celebration of local designers has proven to be a popular night over the past months.  I previously did a larry. show with ION Magazine just before Christmas which benefited the Covenant House in Vancouver; last Sunday was Kim Cathers and her kdon line (coverage of this to follow), and there have been plenty of talented designers in between.

As far as I know this is the first event in which a media collective, rather than a designer or specific label, is staging an event in the space.  The invite for the show explains: “We’ve titled this event, “The New Space” in honor of what we see as a new creative development in Vancouver’s fashion community,” and the organizers are hoping this event will both celebrate and propel “Vancouver on the global map.”

No specific words on what exactly Gene Doe will be doing for the event, but I’m certain it will be worth attending so don’t miss out.  Starts at 7pm beneath Chill Winston in Gastown.
