C. Spot : Spring Smiles

(ARCHIVE C. SPOT LIST)

Darling Cohorts & Dreamers & Urban Explorers,

The warm weather makes us want to stay up all night and go dance in the streets, and all over the city there are reasons small and large to abandon our little corners and go adventure through our thawing landscapes, for this is our city -- it does not belong to the police or the politicians no matter what they do -- this is OUR city and this springtime belongs to us...

BATTLE FOR BROOKLYN : Saturday

In the News:
Last weekend we had the honor of leading a Fashion Workshop for "Girls Congress", an inspiring all-day conference organized by the Lower East Side Girls Club to promote women as leaders and empower the hundred young women from public high schools across the city who attended.
Miss C. Spot & our cohort Bella Giana taught the girls how to make stamps and stencils to decorate their own shirts, and prove to the girls that fashion can be a tool to express yourself & your
independence... Pictures can be seen @

and very soon we'll post pix to the C.Spot site...

Swoon Magazine Launch:
The first issue of Swoon Magazine is hot off the presses and available

gorgeous photographers who are working to create a collaboration
between the free-livin', the fashionistas, artists, picture-takers and
independent-minded stylin' peoples of the city... C. Spot Designs is
