Come in, We're Open

December 10, 2019

If you need help trying to find the perfect gift this holiday season, consider taking a trip to Gift Shop at 22 Ludlow. Home to everything you need and more, this one-stop shop is filled with both thrifted finds and donated goods such as books, jewlery, clothing and a plethora of other sundry items all sold for fairly low prices.

Celebrated on opening night by a store-front set up featuring Sam Puglia's Dawn's Thrift Store and office Issue 11 featured artist, Helen With the Gold Teeth, we knew this from its fruition that this shop was onto something. So stop by and find your hidden gem, your bound to find one in this treasure trove.

Oh, and nervous about that guilty feeling that comes along with this consumeristic season? Don't be. The Gift Shop pop-up proudly donates 80% of the proceeds straight to Destination Tomorrow, an LGBTQ+ youth center in the Bronx. Knowing that $1 from each purchase goes worthy cause will make this shopping experience a hell of a lot better.

The Gift Shop will be open until December 11th from 5-9pm at 22 Ludlow, stop by and treat yo' self!

Callie Reiff and Sophia Wilson's Tour de NYFW

September 10, 2024

Last night at Jean’s amidst the whirlwind of NYFW, Producer/DJ Callie Reiff and director/photographer Sophia Wilson hosted a special edition of ‘tour de les,’ the New York party series created by Callie and her creative partner Raquel Michel. In collaboration with NEXT Management, the event celebrated the release of Reiff’s 'My Room' video, directed by Wilson, with photos captured by the legendary Cobrasnake. Party-goers including fashion influencer Clara Perlmutter, models Luisa Piou, Aliyah Wan, Faith Harper and Zahara Davis enjoyed DJ sets from Callie and friends. In a nod to the video, a bed took center stage in the room where guests indulged in pillow fights, makeouts, and devoured cake. Notable faces from Nike and Gucci turned up to support their favorite rising artists, making the night an unforgettable blend of fashion, music, and unrestrained fun.
