« (Country) Living Large - Soup's On! »

In addition to the awesome antiques, fab furniture, cool crafts, and phat food, the Flea has become a real catwalk of insane looks lately. Senor hand-picks every vendor (for real) in hopes that they'll add something new to our melange, and 6 months in it's all starting to take shape.

Vendors work incredible utilitarian chic outfits that do both stress and impress, and our customers aren't just looking for the original next thing, they're also putting it on display for all to see every Sunday. (If you're going to the Manhattan Vintage Show this week, the Flea better be on your Sunday schedule!)

In turn, we're getting some serious quality when it comes to both new and vintage clothing sellers. (We'll be doing a post on the Flea's stable of clotheshorses soon.) We're especially psyched that Pascale Gatzen, a talented avant-garde Dutch designer, is debuting her latest work (above) at the Flea this Sunday. In addition to her own work, Pascale is developing a cool new cutting-edge program at Parsons School of Design called the Integrated Fashion Curriculum.

Pascale, of course, is just one of many Fleasters challenging the notion of a conventional market every Sunday. The more things change, the less they stay the same! (Pascale's in W41 by the way.)
