Brooklyn’s eclectic, creative style has made the New York City borough a global fashion mecca recognized worldwide as the epitome of present-day “cool.” “BROOKLYN STREET STYLE: The No-Rules Guide to Fashion” explores what has made the borough a fashion trendsetter and presents style advice from some of Brooklyn’s most well-known tastemakers.
Among these notable women — all of whom have become staples in the borough’s fashion, food, athletics and entertainment industries — are Jenn Rogien, costume designer for HBO’s “Girls”; Sara Bigelow, butcher at The Meat Hook, Williamsburg; Heather Hardy, featherweight champion boxer; Leslie Parks, chef and daughter of famed photographer Gordon Parks; Mary Alice Stephenson, style expert and creator of MARYALICESTYLE; among others.
“Brooklyn Street Style” launches with the “Brooklyn Taste Makers: Global Influencers” panel, a New York Fashion Week counterpart, at Powerhouse Arena (37 Main Street, DUMBO) on Sept. 10 from 7 to 9 p.m.
