To The Bitter End: Six emerging clothing designers from Brooklyn to stage a group show on September 17th. Here's the press release in its entirety:

"This is not the usual group show.

On the eve of Fashion Week, six independent, yet like-minded designers from Brooklyn will present their collections with a common thread and theme; decay. In a world where mass production flourishes these designers fearlessly confront past ideals of beauty and craftsmanship with a vision of the future. In the spirit of collaboration, the designers have enlisted the aid of visual artists English Kills and musical artists Mike Skinner & Hungry Wives to create a multimedia experience, promising to be above and beyond the standard fashion week fare.

Date: September 17th, 2002, doors at 8PM, show begins at 9PM
Location: The Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts, 172 Norfolk (b/w Houston & Stanton - Lower East Side)
