Our Swedish liaison, Wadood, is in town. He read about the opening of The Brooklyn Circus Pop-Up Culture Shop and didn’t want to miss all the fun. We met up with him in the city yesterday to catch up over dinner. Everyone was in the mood for some Italian food, perhaps all the pics of the new BKc + Fila Italia collaboration had something to do with that craving. Yep! The Brooklyn Circus, Eastcoast, Westcoast, and Worldwide . . .

Yesterday, the BKcSF team hit the streets of San Francisco to give out personal invitations to The Brooklyn Circus 1-Year Anniversary Celebration to neighbors, friends, and bystanders.

The team made sure to stop by some of their favorite spots. Pictured above, Gabe the Great personally invites Azikiwee of D-Structure and Sha of Acrimony.

Along the way, the gang ran into some friends. Pictured above, Yojaira of Farmer Brown receives her invitation and shares some laughs.

Shortly after, Calvin bumped into JD Elquist of the Shades of Great Blog representing in his BKc Naval Tee.

The Brooklyn Circus SF 1-Year Anniversary is making headlines. Be a part of history. The preparation continues…

The BKc SF will be receiving some really nice gifts for their One Year Anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion we decided to make these pieces only available at The Brooklyn Circus SF before its even available at any other Brooklyn Circus locations. When our intern Alex heard this he was devastated and considered running away to join The Brooklyn Circus SF and not even returning to Paris for the summer. Yep! The Brooklyn Circus, Experience is Everything . . .

Steampunk + BKc Best of Both Worlds: It’s interesting how some vintage collectors or Antique dealers frown on all things new, “I only wear vintage clothing or own Antique furniture, I hate all this new stuff”. Yet give you a card with their email address on it, pointing you to their website and take your number on their i-phone. How about telling you how much something was sold for on ebay. BKc has always been about both worlds, mixing and matching eras to create our own era. The New York Times RUTH LA FERLA wrote a great article (5/08/08) on the “Steam Punk” movement and it’s cultural influences and importance.

In our quest to continue to reinvent our personal styles and find our look forward, yes “different” is the quest but it’s always different within a group of other different individuals who you share something with. It’s never I want to be so different that no one, absolutely no one understands me or shares my ideas, that’s pretty lonely. Steam Punk and BKc share a love for old meets new, visual fantasy, all things brass, the industrial era, Victorian style, Alexander McQueen, waistcoats, top hats and paper boy hats. Micheal Jackson’ style was a mix of old and new. Yep! the floor is open for comments on the subject.
