"Brooklyn Royalty...serve(s)
as an outlet to design graphics and apparel for
proud Brooklynites who, like myself, love the dynamic
creativity and community feel of our neighborhoods."
Designer Bob Bland.
Bob Bland (a really
cute girl, actually) has designed an eco-friendly
line of casual clothing that will be just the thing
to cloth Brooklyn's hipsters and their fashion loving
fans. For Spring 2009, Bland has collaborated with
Vin-T Bikini (for the swimwear, naturally) and Jee
Yun Ha Jewelry designs (for the feather, flower
and hardware designed jewelry).
From the swimwear
to the Brooklyn style let's-get-married-at-our-favorite-bar
style wedding dress, Bland has created a line that
ensures her customers will have a fun and stylish
spring. The jeans that marched the runway had an
incredible fit; the casual tops were appropriately
slouchy; and the green-emblem Brooklyn Royalty clothing
will appropriately adorn the Kings and Queens of
Brooklyn.
P. S. In a harbinger of Bland's future
fame, the audience for the Brooklyn Royalty Show
was one of the hippest-looking groups I saw at Fashion
Week.
