Just got off the phone with Chelsea Erhart, designer of Erhart and one of the designers I’m looking forward to seeing at next weekend’s Explode La Mode fashion show–and girl’s got some good news. She is teaming up with Breeze Block Gallery for their move to a new digs on E. Burnside (1847, to be precise), which will also house the Erhart design studio and act as a retail space for her designs–including samples and experimental one-offs. As one of Portland’s most fun-loving apparel designers, this can only mean good things for your spontaneity in wardrobing. Grab a peek at the new spot on December 5, with a grand opening party (there will probably be a keg, she says) from 6-10 pm.
The Erhart Hammer Tracket is equal parts practicality and punch.
