With the arrival of spring comes the first annual
Nolita Spring Promenade

The first day of spring is to become an annual celebration of the Nolita area in downtown New York. On Wednesday, March 21st 2007, the very first NoLita Spring Promenade will take place. This event will celebrate the European history of the Nolita area as well as what is has become today.
All are invited to join us in this celebration of a neighborhood rich in history and beauty. Located on Mulberry, Mott, and Elizabeth Streets between Houston and Broome, Nolita is one of most unique shopping destinations in the world and home to a diverse array of high-end designer boutiques. The neighborhood’s history is distinctly European, but the shopping experience is as varied as New York itself.
Over 50 boutiques and restaurants will be participating in the event, and over 2500 people are expected to be in attendance. The boutiques will stay open until 8 pm that evening and will be serving complimentary beverages for their guests from 6 to 8 pm. Participating restaurants will be extending a 10% discount to customers for dinner that evening. In honor of the event, a donation will be made by the boutiques to the FDNY Foundation for Engine 55 and Ladder 20, both of which serve Nolita.
Please join us at Min-k on the evening of March 21st to celebrate the first day of the spring season.

Min-k: Minji Kim, Designer/Owner

2007-01-14T15:49:00.000-05:00

Minji Kim, has been designing her cult brand of feminine and 1920’s-inspired ready-to-wear since she opened the doors to her first boutique, Min-k (pronounced “mink”) in New York’s East Village in 1999. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Minji’s retro silhouettes and fabric-driven designs where available only at her two shops, which has made it possible for her to operate outside the confines of the two-season fashion industry treadmill. As she is inspired, Minji produces her much sought after designs often in very small quantities or as one-of-a-kind pieces, so shopping at Min-k means getting truly special garments and each visit can yield a new discovery.

After receiving her degree in fashion design in 1996, Minji worked as a designer at several fashion houses, including DKNY, Armani Exchange and Club Monaco (where she was Head Designer for Collections), but knew that ultimately her singular aesthetic vision required autonomy. Thus she created her first store at 334 East 11th Street (between 1st and 2nd Avenues). The recent addition of her second location in New York’s Nolita at 219 Mott Street (between Prince and Spring) and the beginning of her wholesale line means that Minji is introducing her decidedly downtown designs to a whole new audience.

Minji’s business model has afforded her a degree of creative freedom that is an anomaly in the fashion world. Inspired by trips to her fabric sources and the energy of the city around her, Minji Kim designs colorful and artistic garments for the woman who appreciates fashion without being subject to the latest trend pronouncements. A favorite of stylists and the indie music scene, Min-k designs have been featured in Clear, Cosmopolitan, Elle Girl, Fader, Glamour, Lucky, Missbehave, Panache, Shape and the New York Post.
