SHINDIG ARCHIVE

Every year since 2009, we have gathered our friends from the communities of music, food, fashion and art for a hot summer weekend celebration in Florence, Alabama. Guests of these Shindigs have experienced intimate, once-in-a-lifetime concerts; mouthwatering meals; unforgettable conversations with friends old and new; dancing, drinking, and unmatched bonhomie.

More than anything, though, these Shindigs have been a celebration of fashion, and its power to transform our lives and our worlds. Below, see some of the photos and videos that best capture what it was like to be there. (To really understand it, though, you’ll need to join us at the next one.)
