Natty Paint’s first Fashion’s Night Out in NYC

Sorry to have disappeared under the radar for a bit, but we were occupied with packing, moving, unpacking, arranging, and rearranging! We are happy to report we are now based out of Brooklyn, NY!  And what great timing to move to NY, in the middle of Fashion Week. We took to the street last Friday for Fashion’s Night Out, and as if the stars were aligned, we ran into Tim Gunn of Project Runway exiting Kate Spade. Check out the pic!

We were hoping to reach him in time to gift him a Natty Paint neck tie, but alas, he turned the corner too quickly. Next time! Tim, if you’re reading this Natty Paint has a tie just for you!

Our next adventure involved stopping into ILORI on Spring St to check out the silkscreening demo they had in the window. Turns out the team were fellow Brooklyners!  Kayrock, of Kayrock Screenprinting, was silkscreening totes in the store window to give away with a sunglasses purchase. What a great idea to bring in people.

And then we headed back to Brooklyn for the tail end of a party hosted by Alter, a clothing boutique located in Greenpoint. They have a great logo, check it out:

Things are looking promising for NP in NYC!

Hollywood wears Natty Paint!

We recently found out that Lucy Liu and Brie Larson have both bought Natty Paint items at AuH2O, a store in New York that carries some of our clothes. We are so excited about this and hope that they get their friends hooked on Natty too.

Here is a picture of the dress that Brie Larson bought:

Also, Lucy Liu was spotted by People Magazine walking right across the street from AuH2O:

These two lovely ladies are in a movie called East Fifth Bliss together and it is rumored that Brie Larson will be sporting her Natty Paint in the movie. Get pumped!
