Saturday Edition of Meet Your Maker: H Fredriksson

H Fredriksson is a collection designed with a modern, artistic and sustainable conscious purpose. Inspired by the dark psychology of Bergman Films and contemporary European painting, the collection has an air of melancholic beauty, drawn from the austere silhouettes of the Nordic landscape. The overall mood of the line is one of time and timelessness, yet the details, silhouettes and design breathe modern contemporary culture. Thru balancing tailored garments with oversized and loosely draped pieces she creates a juxtaposition that is the core of the H Fredriksson aesthetic. With a sense of past and present, the designer’s belief in traditional craft as well as in a future of new sustainable fabric technologies is marked in the mindful fabric choices of the collection. The collection is manufactured in New York City using sustainable fabrics and production methods. The Swedish  designer Helena Fredriksson lives and works in Brooklyn where she  combines the two worlds into a sophisticated collection which reflects both the Scandinavian aesthetics of her upbringing and the multi cultured reality of living in New York City. She balances the fashion sense with her art background and brings the intricate nature inspired fabric prints, created from her photographs and drawings, into the collection for an intimate touch.  H Fredriksson has been worn by Cameron Diaz, Alek Wek, Ana Matronic amoung other dedicated followers.

The designer has created customs for Performa Artists like Wangechi Mutu & Dorit Chrysler, Kitchen Choreographers like Isabel Gotowsky, Felicia Ballos & Nancy Garcia. She has further designed uniforms for, and is continuously collaboration with, Sanshodo, a Japanese company. Helena also curated The Color Palate Project an art, food and film project showed in New York and that will travel to Tokyo and Europe in the future.

She has previously contributed to gallery shows in NYC and Sweden, and has been featured in 4 published books and several US and international magazines.

Sunday Edition of Meet Your Maker: Karie Laks​

Karie Laks is a designer living and launching her eponymous line in New York City. From Southern California and with a Bachelor of Arts from USC, her interest in fashion design brought her to New York, where she obtained a degree at Parsons the New School for Design. With design and production experience in-house at Proenza Schouler and Vera Wang under her belt, Karie now presents her debut collection of ready-to-wear. While Karie cites her wardrobe of vintage frocks as inspiration, the aesthetic balances references to the past with a modern, relaxed sensibility. Her personal background in dance also directly inspires the line, with an appreciation for movement and the transformational property of costume. While maintaining a classic, subtle irreverence, the Karie Laks line is for the woman who sees the pieces as part of her story. Karie Laks resides in Brooklyn and the collection is proudly produced in New York City.

Pop-Up for Dreamers Designer of the Day 

Meet Your Maker: Mad Brooklyn

"I am absolutely mad for aromatherapy and extremely passionate about sculpture, so I decided to combine the two and MAD BROOKLYN was born. Aromatic essences have an amazing ability to transform your state of mind. I hope that when you light up one of my candles, not only will you feel energized, inspired, invigorated and relaxed, but the glowing flame through the surrealistic forms will evoke fantasy and inspires wonder in your home."

xo, Jacqueline Tse, Designer & Maker

Pop-Up for Dreamers Featured Designer of the Day!

If you weren't as excited about Stewart & Claire's new Spring Lip Balm as you are about this spring weather we're having, we're pretty sure you will be after learning not only does Spring smell fresh, clean and green, basically is a spring fantasy for your face! It is also infused with Tarragon which pairs just lovely with a nice Gin & Tonic, also perfect for warmer weather. And if that isn't reason enough for you then perhaps knowing that not only is Tonic great for digestion, but so is Tarragon! All the more reason to liberally apply some Spring to those dry lips both before and after meals! The G&T's before and after meals?... That's purely up to you. Coming this May to Pop-Up for Dreamers! ‪

Lately we've been thinking it's about time you met some of the brilliant minds behind Pop-Up for Dreamers. In our first edition of Meet the Dreamers we would like to introduce you to  Danielle Schneiderman!

danielle is writer, story teller and an all-around idiot. she loves wearing sweatpants, lives for the proper use of a semicolon and can eat an entire party-size bag of dill pickle chips in one sitting.she is incredibly indecisive, loves bacon more than most things and thinks that laughing is the coolest thing that can come out of a human's mouth (other than swear words). she lives in brooklyn, sometimes wears glasses and loves delegating as many life choices to her dog, hillary clinton, as possible.there are usually (always) weird and inappropriate thoughts running through her head. sometimes she puts them on greeting cards or doodles them onto a tshirt.
