FactoryPeople Weekend Pop-up Store @ FineSilver Gallery
FactoryPeople, Austin’s hub for fashion, music and culture, is hitting the road with everything from designer deals to DJs to create a weekend of shopping at Houston’s FineSilver Gallery. Kicking off on Sat., Jan. 27 (11a – 7p) through Sun., Jan. 28 (11a – 5p), FactoryPeople will showcase its handpicked Spring ’07 collections and end-of-season bargains with 10% of all sales benefiting local non-profit Workshop Houston. On Sunday, the weekend will come to a close with one of FactoryPeople’s signature parties, complete with free drinks and killer beats.
"From rock stars to film icons, FactoryPeople has been dressing the most creative people in Austin and beyond for quite some time,” said store co-owner, and native Houstonian Le Popov. “Being from Houston, I am thrilled at the opportunity to now bring our unique clothing and vibe to my hometown while supporting one of my favorite charity programs Workshop Houston and its Third Ward Bike Shop program.”FactoryPeople, known for outfitting its clientele in hard-to-find men’s and women’s independent designers, denim lines, shoes and gifts, will bring not-to-be-missed selections from the store’s annual blowout sale. Lines include pieces from Development, Evisu, Yoko Devereaux, Kenzo Minami, Eventide, Sass and Bide, PRPS, and See by Chloe, to name a few. In addition, the store will also provide shoppers a sneak peek of Spring 2007 collections, including Crate Denim, Fred Perry, Surface to Air, Earnest Sewn, Rag and Bone, Elisa Jiminez, and more.
Lastly, to live up to its Warholian namesake, FactoryPeople will host a closing party on Sun., Jan. 28 from 3 to 5p. FineSilver Gallery will provide the art, FactoryPeople will provide the fashion and free drinks, and DJ Ceeplus and DJ Pooks will provide the beats.

Both the youth and adult programs focus on hands-on self-directed education as a path to self-empowerment.
