Going off the Deep End starting tonight



Paper brings word of a new pop-up shop on First Avenue called The Deep End Club. Proprietor Tennessee Thomas explains the idea behind the concept:

I'd been walking past empty shop fronts in the East Village and fantasizing about having a shop/HQ in the vein of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren's Let it Rock, a place to collaborate with all the incredible creatives in my scene, feature all their creations and create more. After looking at a few spaces I realized it was financially unrealistic. But I mentioned it to a few friends, and a couple of months later a friend said "I think I found you a shop" and introduced me to these ladies on 1st Ave. who owned A Repeat Performance and had just taken the lease on the shop next door and were looking for a partner to collaborate with.

Among the items that the shop will feature in the next few months, per Paper: medical science-inspired jewelry by Meghan Farrell, dresses hand-painted with organic, small batch dyes made by Audrey Louise Reynolds and artwork by Adam Green.

They had a very similar art shop in there around 2005 called Doamonds and Oranges. It was her son, or nephew's shop.
