If you’ve been by the shop lately you may have noticed Miss Gwen looking more svelte than ever with a very healthy glow. That is because while the rest of us are sleeping in and eating croissants she has been riding to the headlands and back before coming into Nooworks!!! Why? Because she is better than us and she is preparing to ride her bike all the way from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for AIDS/HIV research and awareness.

Come join us this sunday for her fundraiser/party to help her get what she needs on this journey.

And ride your bike! It’s Sunday Streets!!

Join us April 7th at Nooworks to see the clothing collaboration, purchase some unique artwork from kids in the Bay Area, have a glass of wine, and learn how The Imagine Bus Project is changing lives by creating sustainable art programs. All proceeds from the sale of the artwork supports The Imagine Bus Project.

Nooworks loves Roy Wood.

Please join us in these studies and portraits of Roy that Holly has shared with us for the month of March.

Built out of the very scraps left from the Nooworks shelving units these handmade boxes featuring Paul’s positive message written in his own language of icons truly fit into the shop. His party was one of the warmest events we’ve hosted at Nooworks filled with great art, great friends and super positive vibes.

We’re sad to see his show come down this month but excited to be launching our summer line which features his wave textile and two hokum graphics. Come by and decipher what’s left and if you’re lucky you might even see Paul!

Wowza!!! How Psyched were we this week to see the adorable Whitney Myer from Reno, Nevada rocking the Maya Wild Cha Cha dress on the voice! Thank you Neverender for your excellent styling.

She may have been out diva’d this week but that seemed like a setup.

I’m sure this is only the start of Whitney’s rise to stardom and just like Mr Maroon 5 we’ll have her back.

Go Whitney!!!

A modest photographer with a great eye, San Francisco resident Liz Caruana is the long-standing photographer for our Nooworks catalogs. In addition to being a successful fashion photographer, Liz is also a complete pleasure to work with. Continuously creating wonderful work for us, Liz has braved the harshest of San Francisco’s summer climate during Nooworks photo shoots. (It seems we always choose the wildest of weather days to shoot!) On our most recent shoot with Liz, there was a harsh summer chill and relentless winds, yet despite such trying weather, Liz finished out the day with incredible photos. To see more, check out the new photos on our home site or come grab a catalogue at the shop and say hello! Our current catalog features textile designs by New York artist, Sarah Mead.
In addition to the her professional photography, Liz keeps up a personal tumblr account in which she offers photos from a current personal project called, “morning walks”, which is a compilation of daily photographs that are humble, yet expressive enough to evoke feelings in the viewer. We think it’s a great feat that Liz shows her impressive technical ability and eye for fashion photography through her professional site, and offers a glimpse into what drives her passion through her tumblr account. Check them both out here: www.lizcaruana.tumblr.com/ www.lizcaruana.com

Oh and check out this latest shoot she did featuring Nooworks and our pals FluffyCO. at Luckycat Recording Studios.

Last year we lost one sweet lady from San Francisco to her love in Boston and the metal ladies of SF mourned this loss.

Lucky for us she has started up a podcast! http://reject.libsyn.com/

under the Radio Show: She Likes It Heavy. listen to some metal.

Listen to it every Tuesday at 6pm EST live, or wait for her to upload it to her blog.
