Shop Opening Celebration
The popular knit-jersey line celebrates family style with Kimmel Kids’ Karen Kimmel.
Posted by: Laura Cassidy on Oct 06, 2011 at 01:00PM
Splendid x Karen Kimmel x Crafting Community = Vibrant color play, fun family time, cool accessories and layering elements. Create some of it for yourself at the new Splendid store in Bellevue Square on Saturday, October 22.
As of October 14, Bellevue Square has a new occupant: Splendid.
The brand is well-known to those who have found its pint-size hoodies and Modal maxis inside department and specialty stores; this is the line’s first stand-alone Northwest shop.
To introduce the less familiar and get to know fans better, Splendid is hosting an all ages craft day on Saturday, October 22 from 1 to 3 with LA hipster mom Karen Kimmel.
Thanks to similar events with the Ace Hotel, museums, art galleries, and other Splendid-sponsored spaces, the artist has a cult following of cool parents. After spending a few hours designing an all natural, super soft, on trend Splendid scarf with your six year old, you’ll likely find yourself happily drinking the legitimately cool Kool-Aid too.
Called Crafting Community, the October 22 event, and others like it, are all about fusing families through making and doing. In addition to on-trend scarves, you and your brood can craft necklaces and bracelets and other accessory items.
The event is free, and four guests will even score a $250 shopping experience at the new store.

Style Counsel
Style Counselor Krista Kelly helps you wrap your brain and a pencil around the human form, for free.
Posted by: Laura Cassidy on Aug 09, 2011 at 08:00AM
Figure on Krista Kelly being a very spirited and stylish teacher, and consider her drawing class at Roche Bobois on August 16 from 5:30 to 8.
Three things I like:
1. Style Counselors who stay in touch—this time it’s Krista Kelly, who showed up on our style radar not just for her ability to rock a perfect little dress with a just-right jean jacket (which, coincidentally, style.com has decided to call out as a trend), but because her job as an art consultant gives her an interesting perspective on aesthetics in general.
2. Retail locations getting outside the bounds of normal retail activity. For instance: Roche Bobois, who is hosting the aforementioned Ms. Kelly for a very unexpected sort of pop-up gallery and classroom.
3. Style and fashion practitioners who understand that the human form is engaged in an important conversation with clothes, and, well, everything else.
Also, sometimes (but not all the time) things that are free are good.
On Tuesday, August 16 from 5:30 to 8, at the aforementioned European furniture gallery on Western Ave, the aforementioned Style Counselor is offering three 20-minute figure drawing sessions. A nude model and materials are included; Kelly, a seasoned and spirited drawing instructor, will advise on technique and form. The class is open to beginners and experts alike.
