Fashion Week! Last night: SGC-NYC pop-up shop

Last night we stopped by our favorite man about town, SGC N-Y-C's, pop-up shop. SGC N-Y-C produces and fabricates all items locally in NYC. He's not just slow fashion saavy, his is an edgy, every day cool girl  sort of line. We could wear every piece in the collection. Other featured favorites were Blood Is the New Black, Zana Bane x Todd Pendu, and  In God We Trust - all committed to handcraftsmanship and local production. Last but definitely not least Nettie Kent Jewelry, whose local production and emphasis on sustainable design is admirable. And plus we just really dig her sea-inspired collection. She was featured along with the artwork of her better half Colin Ruel. Becka Diamond spun from above all night long.

Modern Vice: Sick shoes handcrafted in NYC

MICKIE from MODERN VICE on Vimeo.

A few qualities we really appreciate at Look Good/Do Good are local production and the preservation of handcrafted artisan traditions. But we aint willing to give up super fabulous, rad-ass design.  All of these elements, we believe, can and should be achieved in modern fashion design. 

So when we stumbling upon this handcrafted in NYC, blow your mind unique design shoe line Modern Vice, we were all like, "Nailed it!" Check out this video on how Modern Vice made the Mickie (not to be confused with this).

Osborn, You are Everything

 

Osborn Soko Oxford , $148

I love this Greenpoint Brooklyn based company - and not only because they work from the best part of Brooklyn ( hint I live there, McGuiness what what?!!) but also for their crazy cool design sense with an equally unwavering dedication to the preservation of handcraft and skill. Focused equally on beauty and process, Osborn works with weavers and cobblers in Guatemala and has developed a collection of handcrafted to-die-for kicks. Lookin' Good, Osborn.
