FUNK N’ TRUNK
Independent Designer Trunk Show Event Series
About Us
Funk n’ Trunk began in San Francisco in 2004. Developed by NicolePresents and Levende Lounge, Funk n’ Trunk ran for over two years as one of the most successful monthly trunk shows in the city. It was recognized as a premiere independent designer showcase for unique, funky, trendsetting fashions for both men and women.
Designed to be an intimate experience, you were able to interact with designers, commission designs and even get on-site hemming. The Funk n’ Trunk, along with several other large trunk shows, gave momentum to the rise and success of the independent design community by boosting the visibility of the participating designers to a mainstream market that may not have had access to their designs previously. Many of the key participants now have successful storefronts such as Miranda Caroligne, The Mission Statement and The Trunk. Many others boast very successful online businesses.
Offering a mix of men’s and women’s fashion, jewelry and accessories, the Funk n’ Trunk also combined DJs, brunch and the infamous Bloody Mary bar to round out the shopping experience. The concept of Funk n’ Trunk morphed into many iterations of much larger designer showcases such as Inspiration for the Playa, Beach Chic, Prepare for the Playa and several other large scale fashion events heavily focused on the burgeoning couture of the Burning Man Festival.
Funk n’ Trunk is returning to its more intimate roots in 2009. The concept still remains the same. We wish to promote funky, high quality, unique independent designers, while offering women and men a fun, community shopping experience.
