Can I get a what, what!!

HARPUTS OWN . COMME DES GARCONS . Y-3 . MARTHA DAVIS . JAN WARNOCK . & MORE

124 GEARY ST / SAN FRANCISCO / 415.392.2222 / INSTRUCTION@HARPUTSMARKET.COM


If you know anything about the Harputs family then you may have been familiar with their sneaker store on Filmore Street back in the day. These guys carried classic and vintage, hip-hop sneaker styles for the miles. I believe they had a warehouse full of stuff and would have these crazy hectic sales that were so fun. I would always get my B-girl gear from this family owned and operated store. Now they have moved into the grown and sexy stage of the Harputs and are carrying more high end lines including their own line Harputs Own. Yesterday I went into the Geary street store and although it was a undoubtedly more posh that the last store, the owner and one of 3 designers, Gus, greeted me with the same warmth and fun as the old store on Filmore. He said "Try everything on and buy nothing ". I don't know if he was trying to use some reverse psychology on me but I did try on several looks of the Harputs Own and they were HOT. I would have bought them all! The draping was elegant ,the fabrics were quality and the styles unique but in vogue.

Material World





Well we are living in a material world but, this line didn't have whole lot of material to it. I popped into Macy's the other day to check out Material Girl, Maddona and her daugther Lourdes' clothing line. A little fashion forecast for you: sequins shorts poppin' up in da' club, the parks, the bars, museums, coffee shops, whatever! Cute line for the young bopper on a budget (unintended for ages 18 and over). Go Lourdes!

My bow tie.




I found this little bow tie necklace at Sui Generis www.suigenerisconsignment.com/, which is great consignment store for men in the Castro. I like to rock it with my favorite pair of earrings as you can see. The necklace was made by a local designer Diego Gomez designnurd.blogspot.com ,and was available in a variety of fabrics. So cute and so fun! I want another!
