Lonely Kids Club In Store
T-shirt heroes help inaugurate the Oxford St Design Collective's relaunch.
Overview
So change is, on the whole, a good thing. The Oxford Street Design Store was made from the start to be a low cost storefront for local designers to get their work out, while events played out out back. Their low-cost City of Sydney lease just got renewed and to take themselves long term they're taking on lodgers. Once a month local artists and designers will take turns popping up in the store front, while related workshops play on out back. First up, at the newly-renamed Oxford Street Design Collective, is T-shirt powerhouse Lonely Kids Club.
Lonely Kids are a normally online-only operation run by Warwick Levy, who collaborates with local artists to get their art on your front. While he occupies the frontage with a bespoke new range of designs, workshops will be run out back introducing artists to the wonders of screen printing.
The Oxford Street Design Collective is open from midday Wednesday to Sunday. The $150 workshop, Screen Printing Digital Designs, will run Sundays 24th February and 3rd of March. For more info and to sign up, email the tutor, Badger Lane's Laura Walsh.
