Greer's OC

Fashion followers will love the OC Fashion Week sneak peek at OC Mart MIX Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. OC Fashion Week is coming up on May 18-22, and you can check out two of the featured designers, 31 Bits and Upper Class, at The OC Mart MIXER.

31 Bits’ new spring voyage collection features the latest necklaces, bracelets, and headbands handmade by artisans in Uganda who are rising above  poverty through their fashionable jewelry line made from recycled papers.

Upper Class Label (pictured above), a Corona del Mar based line of custom tees with graphic art and classic images, offers cutting edge styles that are both body conscious and flattering styles. And even better, each season Upper Class raises awareness and profits for an organization that’s making a positive impact in the community.

The evening will include gourmet eats from food trucks, refreshments and a DJ set by Raul Mora. Come meet established and up and coming talent involved in the OC Fashion Assn. South Coast Collection is at 3313 Hyland Ave. Suite C in Costa Mesa. 949.375.0749.
