Superchic at Supperclub SF with Nancy DeLos Reyes

Hey Anti-Brides, my friends at Supperclub are always pushing the envelope when it comes to finding under the radar fashion and culture and bringing it to you on a school night, no less. Highlighting the work of fab designers (and friends!) like Melissa Bolin of Kittyandrews.com or my girls at Dark Garden in SF, Supperclub is more than a nightclub and restaurant, they are practically channeling the de Medici’s as SF Patrons of the Underground Arts. It is my distinct pleasure to give them a shout out about tonight’s fashion show/dinner party. Cozy up to a warm mattress (and date), sip a delightful libation, and let the show begin!

657 Harrison Street

The Deets:

This is a one of a kind event at Supperclub, where fashionistas, photographers, designers, social influencers in social media, and models come together for a 3-course dinner, photo shoot, hair and makeup demonstration, catwalk fashion show and special performances.  Guests are able to take a peek at what goes on behind the scenes of a fashion show because everything backstage is done upfront. They are able to watch runway models get their hair and makeup done for the show and see the creative work that’s done to complement the theme of the fashion collection. Guests are even encouraged to take part as a model in a professional photo shoot. Bringing the runway to real way is what Supperclub does best (with a cocktail and a bit of sparkle and spackle!)

Featured Designer:
Nancy DeLos Reyes, born in Taegu, South Korea and raised in Stockton, CA. Ever since childhood, she’s always been drawn to experimenting with a variety of artistic mediums. Taking fashion courses at San Joaquin Delta College inspired her to pursue a career in fashion. She moved to San Francisco to study fashion design at the Academy of Art University. She loves finding inspiration from subjects ranging from art history, architecture, nature, psychology and even things that some people might not consider “runway worthy” or tend to overlook. Anything can be a source of inspiration; the best part is finding it.

In the spring of 2009, her senior collection “Helical” was selected among the 1200 graduating students to participate in the school’s annual graduate Spring Fashion Show. That same year, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design.

Nancy currently lives in San Francisco.
