Behind the Scenes

On this dreary Tuesday, for your viewing pleasure, here are some behind the scenes photos from our Spring 2011 presentation:

We the People storefront where we displayed the samurai and astronaut costume. We had a lot of passerbys stop to inquire about the costumes, especially the samurai one.


L to R: Chloe is dressed in the Striped Web Tee, Space Legging, and Saddle Belt. Jessica is wearing the Plasma Tank, Double Zip Pant, and Armor Belt.


Sahira in the Black Hole Dress.


Brittany in the Slant Cowl Jacket, Cross Back Tank in Black, and the Plasma Legging.


Ann in the Cross Back Column Dress.


Aquila in the Hannibal Blazer, Box Tee, and Plasma Tube Skirt.


Everyone! We shot the majority of our lookbook outside of the middle school on the corner of Stanton and Suffolk. The walls had such great color and texture that fit perfectly with our inspiration.

Now that the big Spring presentation is over, we've been concentrating on getting the rest of our Fall stuff out to stores. In the next few weeks, you'll be able to find our ready-to-wear and knits at Barneys (New York), Oak (New York), EVA (New York), and Minnie T's (Los Angeles). We'll be sure to give the heads up once they hit stores and let you know exactly which pieces you'll find where.

Runway Passport

"It's time to put away the sundresses, rompers, and flip flops. Forget the fall equinox - With Labor Day already in the past, there's no more denying that fall has arrived here in New York City. I stopped by We the People recently and checked out their new Fall Line. For a tough yet playful addition to your booties, check out the feather or fringe spats ($78) by Key by Khoi Le. If you're looking for a unique and luxurious accessory, you might like Sunghee Bang's woven bronze and brown leather snood ($500). Also available now is 0++0's new collection of beautifully draped silk pieces by Stephanie Otto. Other new brands available at We the People Collective: Bedford Street Laundry, N:F:P, Inima, and Chelsea Sutrisno." - Alice Chin

Zink Magazine

Zink Magazine coverage of our Spring Presentation:

"When your collection is a mash-up between astronauts and samurai’s, prepare to get people talking. Designer Sunghee Bang’s Spring 2011 collection fuses her love of Eastern tradition and construction with her love for design. Precise details, present throughout each piece, were a vital and evident element to the tune of zippers and hardware. Many of the pieces from the Brooklyn based brand showcased dual-functionality, keeping strong silhouettes in the overall theme. The Spring Collection was a mix of somber colors, such as the “Slant Cowl Jacket” in a covetable nude jersey. Texture was especially employed in an interesting black dress made from sheer black web — clearly not for the tamest of hearts. Sunghee Bang creates garments for the creator. — Nieci Thomas"
