RSPOP is excited to announce its POP UP for March 16-26, 2011 with Life Preservers Inc., a New York State non-profit arts organization dedicated to creating consciousness and resources for the victims of human trafficking.
This collective will be featuring emerging local artists who produce photography, paintings, jewelry, textiles and even unique guitars. “At RS POP we strongly believe in building a community with the artists and designers that we represent and through charity we all build deeper bonds,” says Gonzalez. Portions of all the proceeds sold at RS POP Shop will be donated to organizations such as RestoreNY, GEMS-Girls, and Polaris Project, which aid victims of human trafficking.
“Participating artists are asked to create unique works of art utilizing any and all mediums,” says Shana Pederson, President of Life Preservers Inc. “We like ‘Life Preservers’ to be kept in mind during creation or in some manner be represented in the final product either literally or figuratively.”
Life Preservers Inc. was created in the hopes that through increased awareness, the millions of women and children brought into the country for the purpose of human slavery will be able to reclaim their lives and a safe place in society. The Life Preservers Project gives artists the rare opportunity to create pieces that will both educate through the power of content and concurrently raise funds for these organizations. ”As artists it’s great to know that we can use our design skills and creativity to give back to the greater good,” says Bonnie Kaye Whitfield, Co- Owner and artist, Kaye Rachelle Designs.

Patricia Brown Jewelry POPS UP at RS POP Shop
Posted on 28. Feb, 2011 by melissagonzalez in Events, fashion, RS Pop
Patricia Brown Recreates Her Jewerly Box
from private label for some of the best names in the business: Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein Collection and Adrienne Vittadini to launching her own mini collections Patricia Brown will be POPPING UP in NYC for the first time under her new label this March 2011
Geo, Botanical, and Galaxy Collections- Look, Feel Wear!
RS POP-UP Shop is thrilled to announce the opening of Patricia Brown Collection in March 2011.
Overall the style is fashionable, yet unique, and often incorporating materials that might not traditionally be combined. Patricia Brown leans toward a very high quality look, but also incorporates paradox and the unexpected in her designs.
Patricia Brown will be unveiling 3 collections: Geo, Botanical, and Galaxy
The Geo Collection includes styles that are based in metals and metal chains, crystals or stones.
The Botanical Collection is inspired by plants and flowers, using a combination of materials that are most effective for the piece.
The Galaxy Collection is usually in sterling silver, with Swarovski crystals, and inspired by the night sky.
“My color palate is generally neutral-based, with some neutralized color accents.” says Patricia Brown. The metallics are most prominent, with silver and pewter tones more prevalent than gold, although gold is also represented. They are accented with blue-greys and bronze and subtle-colored tones within the “flowers” of “Winter Garden.” These tones should work with many different clothing choices, rather than being limited to one outfit choice, and should be able to be dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion.
“Patricia Brown’s collections are in line with the trend of versatility a consumer is looking for says Melissa Gonzalez, they generally complete or make an individual statement of an outfit when added as the final touch.”
Meet designer Patricia Brown in person from March 1- 12th at RS POP Shop
Opening Reception March 2, 2010 from 6-8pm.
