GROUNDED brought together sustainability, community, and creativity—and I brought a little UNYK magic. I take gently used, thrifted clothing and reimagine it into one-of-one wearable art. Cut it. Paint it. Patch it. Embellish it. Give it a whole new frequency. The best part? Seeing someone put a piece on and go, “Ohhhh. This is ME.” Less waste. More imagination. More self-expression. More YOU. Old clothes. New frequency. BE YOU-NIQUE. Which piece would you make yours? Tell me below—or DM me about a custom creation. @be.younique.collective #BEYOUNIQUE #UNYK #UpcycledFashion #WearableArt #OneOfOne Follow @be.younique.collective for one-of-one wearable art + permission to express.” taken in Honey's Brooklyn by @lightlytoasted.social

We are ecstatic to incorporate a vendor market this year!!! Come find them on the rooftop!!! ✨🙌🏽 Introducing our vendors at GROUNDED… @airplantnina @be.younique.collective @gulaabibaby @styled_by_alice @zenami.nyc vibe with us @honeysbrooklyn 8pm - 2am tonight! RSVP link in bio. Real Living Air Plant Wearable Art that breathes and grows with us from head to toe. A uniform for eco-futurists, and a tribe magnet. Air plants live on air, and purify air; so when you wear, you both get air! They live for years, on water mists and weekly walks outside with you. Reviving a sacred ritual of co-evolving with nature. Join the Movement of Symbiotic Style! UNYK by Shannon Ryan is a NYC-based wearable-art brand rooted in self-expression, individuality and conscious creativity. Shannon sources gently used, vintage and thrifted clothing and transforms forgotten pieces into bold, magical, one-of-one works of wearable art. Through paint, embellishment, deconstruction, texture, appliqué, hand-detailing and a little bit of alchemy, each piece is reimagined rather than replaced — extending the life of clothing while creating something that could never be mass-produced. Gulāabi Baby is a traveling garden of hand-picked vintage jewelry and accessories from makers and markets across South Asia. Each collection consists of vintage tribal regional Indian jewelry and accessories that’ll invoke the inner bedouins, gypsy, and queens. Here you’re sure to find a statement piece on a multitude of tones from our earrings, cuffs, bracelets, chokers, and rings. Each piece is slightly imperfect, richly textured, unapologetically extra. Gulāabi means “rose-tinted” – and that’s the lens we live in. It’s playful, romantic, a little dramatic, but always rooted in craft and heritage. At our pop-ups, you’re invited to try things on, stack them, mix them, and build your own story from our garden Come as you are. Leave a little more adorned. Alice comes from a background of personal styling for all occasions dedicated to each unique individual and event. She’s worked with textiles and handmade woven fabrics and natural dyes in oaxaca and brings to you sustainable fashion from vintage taken in Honey's Brooklyn by @lightlytoasted.social
