Fashion and art at Mezzanine

I hopped over to Mezzanine last night for Chillin’ Productions’ fashion/art fair. The place was packed, and I managed to pick up some kickass knitted goods for my grandma. She will be the hippest grandma on the block, I tell you!

The venue, booze, and dance music drew a yuppie-hip crowd—the experience was a lot like shopping at a expensive, über-trendy, ad-hoc mall. Despite experiencing some sticker-shock, I can appreciate the appeal of a unique piece of fashion or art, and to be honest, quite a few vendors appeared to be selling at a discount. Though I’m slightly more partial to events that skew “crafty,” like the unspellable Bazaar Bizarre, I’m sure I’ll check out Chillin’ Productions’ next event.
