Overview
The acquisition of good vintage clothing can be a difficult feat. Much like the metaphoric fog, sometimes you have to sort through a whole bunch of crap until you find something good. Fortunately for us, the guys behind Foe, Like The Enemy have trawled through Asia and the Americas to source the best vintage clothing they could get their hands on.
After a wildly successful first pop-up instalment, Foe are holding their second pop-up store in Regent Street, Redfern from September 24 - October 8. For a limited time you can walk into a real-live shop and try on vintage clothes in an actual changeroom — we're talking Jurassic Park denim details, well-worn flannos, as many retro sunglasses as you can predict to lose at a music festival.
Every killer pop-up needs a killer launch party — and the first Foe shindig was an epic hootenanny in Fouveaux Street with Catcall and Phondupe spinning tunes aplenty. This time around, there'll be plenty of free drinks courtesy of Havana Club. But to fuel your shopping spree vibes, there'll some very special sets from some of Sydney's best including Embassy, Brudo and Hux, Collarbones' Marcus Whale and FBi Radio's Adi Toohey. That's some serious Sydney talent behind the decks for a launch.
To gear you up for tonight, FBi Sunset DJ Adi Toohey has created a brand new beats-laden minimix — just the thing to make your Wednesday that little bit more top notch. Last time around we brought you a mix from Phondupe, which you can find here after you've cranked this crispy morsel:
Launch night runs from 6.30pm, Wednesday, September 24. The pop-up shop is open until October 8. Check out the Phondupe minimix for the first pop-up here.
