APC Parkas

With our sale, we still have left a few of these great APC parkas with detachable fur hoods. In the brown color we have XS and medium and in the blue patterned color we have medium and large. The original price of $380 has been marked down to $114.

They fit pretty large so size down for a slimmer fit or buy your normal size for something a bit more slouchy.

Architexture - Images by Patrick Murray

You are invited to a Ballard Art Walk reception at Blackbird Saturday January, 13th. This month we are hosting a photo exhibit by Seattle photographer Patrick Murray. Free beer and snacks 6:00 to 9:00!

About the artist -
Patrick Murray is a Seattle native; he received a bachelor of arts in film from Evergreen State Collage. He has had shows in Seattle and Santa Fe, NM.

As a photographer, Patrick is drawn to architectural details, patterns and the play between negative and positive space. He enjoys abstracting compositions and peeling away context through reflections, movement and the elements, He shoots frequently with anything he can get his hands on: 35mm, digital, medium format or disposable cameras stolen from wedding receptions.

To contact the artist directly, email: info@partickmurray.com

A little side note: Patrick's prices for his framed photos are quite reasonable. He will also sell his limited unframed prints if you ask.

Fall/Winter 2007 Buying Trip

Well... we're off to New York and Paris in a few weeks to view the Fall/Winter 2006 collections and place orders, which will wind up in your closet some time around September. It's a shame you can't come with us. But, we'd like to ask for you help anyway.

As in past seasons we would LOVE to hear your ideas. Those jeans you saw at Jake in Chicago, that designer that keeps coming up on those fashion emails you read, your favorite socks you picked up on your last trip to japan or the simple idea that you'd like us to carry more French cuffed shirts. Tell us what want (or don't want). Send us an email with as much information as possible and we'll get to work. Deadline Jan 19th.

As a gesture of gratitude and thanks, we'll be mailing out 10% off coupons* to everyone that responds with genuine ideas (no fakers or cheats).

Please include links to websites, where you found out about the brand/item, and anything else you can think of that will help us in our search.

Keep in mind that if you do't speak your mind now Blackbird might end up with it's very own Juicy Couture department full of those velvetine track suits all the continental types are wearing these days (wink).
