From South Africa via Brooklyn we are pleased to welcome Lucky Fish into the store, a line of screenprinted tees who’s story is as engaging as their bold metallic designs. These aren’t your ordinary screenprints—think all-over patterns like diamonds, lace, and butterflies that emerged from a cocoon of pure gold. The inks are shiny and eye-catching metallics: gold, silver and copper with a smooth texture we love, especially the way it contrasts with the soft burnout material it’s printed on.
As for the background, Jann began printing while growing up in South Africa during the Apartheid era, sometimes displaying protest slogans, other times, just the fashions she wanted to wear and couldn’t find. She now does her work out of a textile warehouse in Red Hook and we’re lucky fish indeed to have her! Come check out the great styles, from tunics and wraps to basic tees.
In other news, wouldn’t you (or someone you know) like $250 to spend at Show Pony? We’re hoping to get 1,000 Facebook fans, like our page and you could be the lucky fish. Please tell your mom, your sister, your friends—heck, tell your mister! What’s he gonna do with a Show Pony credit anyway? We might have a few ideas for him...
And for all of our lovely customers, we’re offering a 10% discount in our brand-spankin-new online shop when you use the code “showpony” through the end of June.
