We’re showing our independence and taking the day off! Shine will be closed on the 4th of July and will reopen Sunday at 11am.
For your enjoyment, we’ve pieced together this outfit especially for the holiday. Rodebjer sequined jacket, Saint Grace tank, Current/Elliott jeans and Draugsvold necklace.
Today- stand up and salute- and celebrate your freedom to wear whatever the hell you want!
Take that tribal look a step further with the green cheetah and a warm brown python (so hot right now!) silk chiffon dresses from Single. GREAT party dresses- super lightweight and ultra flattering on all. We loved pairing it with the Manouk beads and the Fiona Paxton silver necklace. Stunning.
When the weather gets warm, we can’t help but go a little native. Our summery/beachy instinct kicks in and our hippie roots send us straight to all things ethnic. BUT- never ones to get too literal with a theme, we like to take these pieces and mix them up with modern ones and twist the look into a whole other thing entirely.
Clockwise from the top, mod Rodebjer tee gets a twist with a Manouk wooden bead necklace, IRO’s boho take on the LBD gets tough with Veri Hedi’s leather bib & Rogues Gallery tote, Rodebjer biker pant takes the Maj top & Manouk necklace to another place, Maj tiered dress & Manouk beads creates hippie flapper, IRO top, Current/Elliott jeans & Fiona Paxton necklace find balance between tough and tribal, Maj’s tie dye maxi contrasts with Veri Hedi’s punk influenced leather necklace.
We love Cara Ober’s style and irresistible quality of canvas. Take a look at Drury Bynum’s latest artist film on her process and get an inside peek at why she does what she does…

We love nothing more than to see our men happy- happily wearing what they love most- the t-shirt. Rogues Gallery gets the tee right in so many ways- and this year, Rogues’ innovative designer Alex Carleton has added another line to his collection called Never Sleep, inspired by night dwellers of the blood sucking kind. Shine scooped up Carpe Noctum, the eponymous Fangs shirt and a couple of others along with a few new Rogues’ tees. We’re especially digging the Rogues’ Freak shirt- because we all know and adore that special Freak in our lives…
Limited quanities now @ Shine Collective.
Boys boys boys! Never Sleep & Rogues Gallery tees galore @ Shine.

MICA faculty and Renaissance woman Hadieh Shafie has done it again with all new creations in leather for her line Veri Hedi. We will have fun wearing these super versatile and edgy pieces with just about anything. Makes a heavy statement yet still lightweight and wearable.
Hadieh will be a featured ‘Built in Baltimore II’ designer at Shine’s next First Friday, June 5.
Shine Collective’s Julie Bent was recently selected as a semi-finalist in IKEA’s ingenious sewing competition ‘Sew Me What You Got‘. A new Fashion at Artscape programming component, this competition sought out skilled and creative fashion designers to create and submit a stylish garment from IKEA fabric. The winning designer will receive a $1000 cash prize and a photo spread in Iconography the Magazine.
True to reality-style competition, people can vote for their favorite designers’ garment in-store and online at artscape.org, fashioniconsonline.com, or on Artscape’s Myspace and Facebook sites. The $1000 grandprize winner will be announced at Artscape, Sunday July, 19 at 7:30pm after a final competition where five semifinalists will showcase their garments.
Julie commented on the process: “Working with IKEA’s bold fabric prints was a bit of an adventure, but I really like the way the print came together in my finished piece. I was surprised to see how well the IKEA fabrics work for apparel. I hope to advance to the next round so I can work out some more ideas I have in a collection of 5 pieces, which will show at Artscape in July. Oh- and also for the chance to win the $1000 grand prize!” Vote for Julie!!
