| When it comes to talent, Sacramento designer Lindsay Rickman has it made in the shade |
Last July, I ran into my friend and local fashion designer, Linday Rickman in front of our favorite vintage shop, Crimson & Clover. She was with a friend visiting from Sweden, and I LOVED their street style so much, me and my pal Kerry Dolan snapped a bunch of pictures. I posted them here.
For over a year we vowed to meet for coffee, but just never quite got around to it. Until recently, when I began to write an article about her. I'd been seriously thinking about freelance writing, and since I've been wanting to cover local talent and fashion, interviewing Lindsay was a no-brainer. Sadly, the interview is now lost, along with the incredible photo shoot I shot with her when my computer crashed. Which sucks, but I have to move on, and let it go.
Lately, Lindsay had been on my mind. She has so much talent and good vibes. Her costumes for a recent ballet astounded me. I loved her creative re-use of fabric, her original designs and her obsession with vivid colors and mad dash of prints. Over a cuppa, we decided we would organize a fashion show, or a trunk show together.Well due to recent uh, un-circumstances, we are now going bolder, bigger. We are going to team up and share a space.
And we need your support! This week, I'll be moving the Citizen shop into her studio. We'll set up shop and have a trunk show: you're invited! For those who can't make it to Sacramento, don't worry. I'll be working on filling our respective Etsy shops where you can shop 24-7. . If you'd like to contribute to our business plans please donate to our "Citizens of Rosebud" fund. By donating via Chip-in you can help me get a small business up and going. For any contributions over $50.00, we can offer you a matching "Citizen Rosebucks" good towards any Citizen Rosebud future purchase. Click here to support the Citizen!

THIS IS SO INTERESTING, Bella, do you mind if you could reveal more on what the store will be selling? the prices and what do you have "in store" for your store?
Thanks Sweetie
PS: and perhaps you can explain how rosebucks work etc
Much appreciated and thank you kindly

I will Jemina. I guess it's not very clear is it?
We're combining our work studios, so now I can set up my racks of vintage clothing, along with my embellished re-mades, and my artwork and keep it in a "showroom" of sorts at Lindsay's studio. We are going to do local trunk shows, me selling my vintage and artwork along with her original designs. Also, now I set up a Photo-studio and take pictures more easily so I can sell on Etsy.
Citizen Rosebucks is basically a gift certificate that can be purchased in advance and used at at Citizen trunk show, or in the Etsy shop or personal shopping credit. Since my Etsy isn't up and running (there's been a lot on my plate lately) this way people can buy "Rosebucks" now and spend them in the Etsy shop later.
Price points for my vintage run a nice range: $5-150, with most items for sale under 25 bucks.
Thanks for your interest, JJ, and for helping me clarify this. -Bella Q
