11/21: Fresh Trade Agreement features Homeygrown Swap!



Told you we were busy! This Saturday, our homies from the Space Station are throwing an event to celebrate conscious living...the Fresh Trade Agreement. If you're going to throw the word trade in your event, then you're going to have to have a trade opportunity there, which is why Homeygrown was invited to hold a swap at the event. Not only that, we're doing FREE silkscreening too, so come and get your duds dolled up for nada.

This is going to be a pretty powerful event, so please come and support, and don't forget to bring something to swap!

We're also fresh trade approved! Homeygrown had the first write up for the event! Click the link to read what the homies had to say about us.

We are jumping this off with a group of folks that WELL encapsulates the spirit of the Fresh Trade Agreement.

And FOLKS they be, for real.

HOMEYGROWN is a fashion collective, headed by two fiery fems – ARTIFFACT and ROCKILL. The versatility of these two seamstresses is not really done justice in a blog post. They’ve built HOMEYGROWN to rep the most creative, freshest threads in recycled & reconstructed clothing. Both Artiffact and Rockill have individually created their own styles and signature pieces, including Rockill’s one-pocket aprons made from recycled fabrics. This is sustainable fashion built on some beautiful community building. We are super excited to support!

Also, HOMEYGROWN has been holdin down swaps and fashion shows in the Bay for years, if you haven't been to one yet yo'self. Lucky you, Nov 21st at Fresh Trade Agreement, you'll be able to experience the infamous HOMEYGROWN SWAP, complete with ill silk screens to customize your swap finds. And maybe we’ll convince them to lace up their friends for a fashion show…

Busy times ahead!


Yo homies, these next few days are going to be busy. You may have thought that we've been sleeping but no, we've been waiting for all this stuff to happen...oh, and going to Vegas...and moving...and donating all of the leftovers from the last swap.

Looks like we have our days planned out for us, but hopefully, if you roll like we do, then we'll be seeing you at these events. When it comes, it comes hard.

Behind the Scenes: Veni Vidi Vici

I came, I saw, I conquered....and had hella fun while I did it all!

Homeygrown was in the building for Veni Vidi Vici at Club Six last Saturday (Pi Day!). We kicked off the fashion show at 10 pm but as you must know, much preparation goes into a show. Many hours of work for 15 minutes of fame.

As Andy Warhol once said, "In the future everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes." We're not world-famous, or Frisco-famous, or even famous at all. We're just trying to get OUT there...for longer than fifteen minutes. We're not trying to conquer the world, or the Bay, we're just trying to shine hard.

And we did shine hard, but of course we can't do it all by ourself. That's not what Homeygrown is about....we shine together!





Tiffany rockin a Rockill apron while she gets the hair did. This girl got it. She comes and saves the day AND rocks the runway. WOW! Thanks so much for being down!


Goldiloks don't need make-up, but what she wants she can do it all by herself!




It was way hot in the white room, and not just because of the fly people working, but because of the NUMBER of fly people in there. There must have been 30 people in there.
