Dear Carmencita: Vintage Market & Nail Art

July 27, 2018 7:00 pm - 11:30 pm Dear Carmencita Pop-Up Bar

One thing remains relevant throughout history: the timeless fashion of a little black dress, sometimes seen on John Singer Sargent’s most daring sitters. Tonight, we draw inspiration from the delicate, bold, and intricate fashion seen in Sargent’s work with vintage clothing and modern nail art.

Local, vintage retailers – krispyfringe | vintage, Silver Moon, Knee Deep Vintage – set up shop for a mini-market, featuring little black dresses, standout pieces, and other timeless accessories.
