Typically, when celebrities strut the red carpet come award season, they have a designer’s name to tout for entertainment reporters on the sidelines. Well, now Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O not only has a few red carpets to strut, but she also has a personal fashion designer to flaunt for that much-deserved spotlight. Good thing her work is finally available for public consumption:
Brand new Etsy shop “Joy1222” is the “ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD TO BUY CHRISTIAN JOY!” announced O’s Brooklyn-based designer. Her pieces range from non-Target (and totes Urban Outfitters) prices of $50 to $100, but rest assured they’re:
100% ,ONE OF A KIND CHRISTIAN JOY PIECES. EXCEPT FOR PIECES LIKE TIGHTS, EACH PIECE IS SEWN AND PRINTED IN MY STUDIO IN BROOKLYN. THESE PIECES ARE MEANT TO REPRESENT MY WORK AS A COSTUME DESIGNER BUT ARE MORE WEARABLE. AS WITH MY COSTUMES, I EMBRACE THE IMPERFECTIONS THAT COME ABOUT WITH HAND PRINTING. EACH PIECE IS MEANT TO BE RAW AND FULL OF ENERGY.
Good idea, Joy! And even better timing. Can’t wait for the documentary.
