Friends & Family Event at Kingdom this Thursday

~Check out our facebook fan page for the invite~

Brooklyn Royalty's Bob Bland & Night Owl's Geoff Weber have teamed up to present Kingdom, Williamsburg's first boutique/bar!

This Thursday, April 29th is our very, very first opening day, and though we'll still be gettin' the kinks out for a few weeks before our big, bad Grand Opening Celebration on Thursday, May 13th (save the date!), we would love to have our nearest and dearest stop by and see the new concept.

Expect free drinks with boutique purchases, a chance to meet Kingdom's super-talented local designers and a first look at Brooklyn Royalty's latest collaboration with rock sensation, Food Stamps.

Check out the details below, and email us at brooklynkingdom@gmail.com with any questions (kisses, hugs + other love are also accepted!)

Call For Designers!

Brooklyn Royalty has endorsed a bullsh*it free, truly democratic fashion industry since our inception, and the opening of our first boutique, Kingdom, is no exception. To that end, we are giving all indie designers of mens and ladies apparel, jewelry and accessories an OPEN CALL opportunity to show us your stuff! Check out the info below, and let's see what ya got... :)

----------------
In case you haven't heard, the first Brooklyn Royalty shop is opening this month in Williamsburg. We're called Kingdom, and our aim is to be the burg's 1st bar/boutique. The concept is a gorgeous {yet suitably funky} retail space where you can kick back a cocktail, listen to a live DJ AND buy the best of designer indiewear for guys & girls. And we'd love to fill the shop with new talent...
So, we are still looking a few exceptional local apparel, accessory and jewelry designers for the new boutique! If you're interested, its chance to break into a killer new concept + location {N4th Street & Bedford Ave=tons of summer shopping traffic}. Plus, we can work out drink specials and fun parties/trunk shows/runway shows/photoshoots to go with your designs. We will also be setting up a fantastic Kingdom online store this summer so there's another plus.

Email us linesheets, a lookbook & your website to brooklynroyalty@gmail.com, and be sure to check out the line at www.brooklynroyalty.com to see what the aesthetic is.

We'd need any in-stock merchandise by Wednesday, April 28th through Wednesday, May 12th, and could discuss future drop dates. But the sooner the better, since we are doing a ton of press previews, and the earlier we get your merch the more initial exposure it gets. Holla!! :)

  "She's not the only artist using fashion for her canvas here.

Take another Brooklyn-named company, Brooklyn Royalty. Creative director Bob Bland moved to West Philadelphia last summer, and, similar to Funk, she is selling a men's and women's line of clothing embossed with urban-inspired graphic art."
