Here at Weltenbuerger, we have a role in challenging, shifting, guiding the narrative of a wearable aesthetic culture. We bring you a cargo of contemporary and vintage designer clothing that are selected to effectively transmit and transport the wearer to and from dense emotional temperatures and imaginative landscapes. There is a point of view with which Weltenbuerger remains consistent. This indicates a reverence for the avant-garde, while remaining accessible to a diverse audience. We provide garments in a variety of fits, colors, textures, because we understand the marginalized shopper.

W/// By WELTENBUERGER - Scrubs Dress

W/// By WELTENBUERGER - Bemberg Shirt Dress

Now, we are extending that to the release of some new garments from our own W/// by WELTENBUERGER line. Weltenbuerger understands the innate individualism of a creative clientele. Bryan Sanderson, the owner of Weltenbuerger, knowingly has a personal style, and accordingly he knows how to select for a diverse clientele. This unique logic informs the creation of our own pieces, newly available in both the Venice and Los Feliz locations of the Weltenbuerger store.

Some of our shoppers may remember the W/// by WELTENBUERGER Scrubs Dress, which is more or less a tent / sheath dress that can be worn either forward or backward. This dress has been interpreted in a new fabric and color story for the fall. The cream fabric is Bemberg cotton, which is denser and naturally more silken than the more linen-like material previously used, and the color is also more versatile. The dress can still be worn either forward or backward, which extends its aesthetic range. A cap sleeve dress with a pocket on either side, the new Scrubs dress is also a testament to the appeal and comfort of a dress that can truly be worn up or worn down. The color story being so like canvas extends this same idea. The wearer imbues the dress with as much meaning as they see fit, whereby she (or he) participates in our mantra by being the guide for a garment’s emotional depth and aptitude.

Pockets work both ways.

The same Bemberg cotton is used in our new Bemberg Shirt Dress. The garment is a button down, and wood buttons are used both along the front of the garment and at the ends of the ¾ length sleeves. Twelve-inch slits on either side of the garment give even more variety in its wear. It is an oversized garment, and it can be worn as a top for a woman, as a shirt for a man, or as a dress for a woman or man. It can be worn over or under garments and again, easily modified for many occasions. This is the opportunity for great access that we strive to provide. We want to create garments that are versatile in wear, across demographics, fluid in gender variation and performance, adherent to different body types, and transmutable to other personal forms or arenas of emotive or physical expression.

The new Scrubs Dress and Bemberg Shirt Dress can be shopped both online at weltenbuerger.org, or in either of our retail locations, in Venice, at 1221 Abbot Kinney Blvd., or in Los Feliz at 1764 N Vermont Ave.

The Weltenbuerger Store // Venice Opening Party is happening this Saturday, July 28.  That same night Altered Space Gallery, with whom we share the space at 1221, will be hosting the opening reception for a group show called Pop Fringe.  Here’s some more info.

POP FRINGE ARTISTS PUSH BEYOND LOW-BROW’S SAFETY ZONE

POP FRINGE is a show of 3 young contemporary artists that work along the frayed edge of “lowbrow” or “street” aesthetic.  These artists push beyond the established cliches of today’s trendiest contemporary art movement.  MEEX ONE paints street art symbols as geometric abstraction, MICHELE MIKESELL paints other-worldly histories with classicist themes, and TYLER FERREIRA unearths the fragmented unconscious of lowbrow with large-scale drawings & lithographs.  Opening reception: Saturday, July 28, 7-10pm.

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 28 | 7-10pm

WELTENBUERGER has begun a monthly series of guest-curated in-store installations.

This month the entire upstairs of the LA store is being curated by jewelry designer Carly Margolis of ALL FOR THE MOUNTAIN and artist James Weigel aka Owleyes. They will be hand-selecting pieces from Weltenbuerger Store alongside their own designs.  Come into the shop and see what wonderful things they have done with the space!

Now, let us introduce you to these brilliant talents.

Carly Margolis founded her jewelry line All for the Mountain in 2009. Carly’s aesthetic explores the trans-dimensional psychedelic realm and mythical landscapes, with an occasional element of camp or ironic spirituality.  There is always a narrative to her collections which she illustrates through her website.

She currently lives in Topanga Canyon and works at a studio in Venice.

Los Angeles based Owleyes draws from an instinctual knowledge of ritual and mystical practices that functions as a physical manifestation of the divine.

By entering into a meditative state owleyes find images through acts of divination, then channels positive energy, thoughts or questions into the alchemical process. The visible image, now encoded with the invisible information , carries with a faint charge of the unseen world within it.

These sacred images act as focus points in the formation and realization of higher states of being and are then sent into the internet. These “Digital Icons” now serve to open new modes of perception. By sharing these Icons with others around the globe, a polarity between the solitary and the communal is formed, these transmutations are intended to develop a unity of dualities.

This month Astral Eyes launches Goldnbones, his line of limited edition custom printed leggings, which he cofounded with designer Shelly Erion.
