Showroom Seven's Retail Game

beyond 7 1 .jpgShowroom Seven did what every smart showroom should do - open a retail space, Beyond 7, underneath their offices at 27th and 11th to sell the designers they represent.

The store, which opened a little over a month ago, houses lucite racks hanging with Tony Cohen, Issa, Benjamin Cho, Andy & Debb, Jillian Lewis, Elise Overland (they might not rep her, but they still love her) and of course walls and walls of Erickson Beamon jewelry (Showroom Seven was founded by Karen Erickson, Erickson Beamon’s designer).

The best part, aside from the rare guitars, are the one-of-a-kind pieces their designers make just for this space. As in, you can buy a dress by someone who sells everywhere but still be the only one wearing it. And if you’re lucky, one of the major stylists and personal shoppers who spend their days pulling from Showroom Seven will be around for an honest opinion.

Given the abundance of galleries in the neighborhood, they’re doing their best to embrace the arty side of fashion with rotating exhibits, book readings and dance performances.

Also, Seventh House is going forward with nine whole runway shows which gives us confidence that somewhere out there some people are ok.

Issa To Open London Fashion Week

stam issa.jpg
The full schedule for London Fashion Week hasn’t been released yet, but we can report that Issa will hold their show first - on September 15 at 7 pm.

The floaty line by Brazilian-British designer Daniella Issa Helayel held their first New York show last year, with Jessica Stam as their poster girl and a parade of sequin maxi-dresses and hand-drawn prints. Our favorite moments were the swooshy mini sheaths, and the way Jessica Stam bent down, smoothed the curling Persian carpet that made up the runway, and then walked out into the press pit.

This year, our favorite moments might take place in the line’s latest edition:

The Issa taxi.

Apparently, Daniella bought some old-school British cabs on eBay and gutted their insides, stocking them with chairs reupholstered from Issa fabric.

Those who can’t hitch a ride in London should stay tuned - there will also be a designer cab in New York…
