LRC
10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY DROP
MAY 14, 5PM
For ten years, Lydia Rodrigues has been curating a space on New York’s Lower East Side where fashion, retail, and hospitality collapse into a single practice of discovery, so specific to her that it has no obvious precedent. An artist in her own right, she occupies a cultural blind spot.
Part stage, part shop, part atelier, her SALON features designers who treat clothing as a form of thinking.
Fabio Quaranta refracting Italian clerical or sportive traditions through art history; the CFGNY collective’s research-based design, closer to contemporary art museums than retail floors; Ligia Dias’ sculptural jewelry; the heirloom provocations of Domestic Performance Agency; and Gogo Graham’s clothes running at the speed of the algorithm. Dozens were shown here before the fashion establishment caught up.
Lydia Rodrigues’ practice runs against the tempo of the fashion system, thriving instead on discovery, collaboration, and delayed gratification. LRC attracts a loyal audience of co-conspirators who enjoy the unique pre-order protocol: the buzz of anticipation and trust in a future object of desire.
Produced in recycled cotton with Everybody.World in California.
The T-shirt drops on May 14 during SALON NO 21 and will be available exclusively from LRCHQEV, LRC’s East Village brick and mortar headquarters and right here.
Additional editions will follow in collaboration with designers who have shaped SALON over the years.
