Playa Outfit


2011 Burning Man Fashion Show VIDEO

Ready to sneak a peek at some of the 2011 Burn’s freshest for-sale looks?  Watch the video below and get stranded on a desert playa with one of the hottest playa-wear boutiques in the world!

Recently, Junkee Clothing Exchange in Reno hosted it’s fourth annual Burner Fashion Show which featured fashion presentations by four designers who are also local vendors. The styles were amazing and continued the show’s tradition of evolving playa fashion into beautiful new realms of manifestation.

While our video coverage of last year’s third annual Junkee show was exhaustive, we were forced to take this year off from filming the event. Fortunately for you though, we were able to acquire some “bootleg” video of the Melting Pot World Emporium’s theatrical fashion presentation which features on-stage interaction that highlights the clothing and accessories in a very innovative way.

Thanks to Monkey Girl Monique for supplying with this exciting (if a bit out of focus) clip:

For those of you who will be traveling through Reno to get to Burning Man, here are some of the best stores to shop at for amazing Playa Wear and specialty Burner Supplies:

These stores are owned by veteran burners who have incorporated Burning Man’s 10 Guiding Principles into their businesses to a significant degree.  We have experienced the tremendously positive impact their entrepreneurship has on both Black Rock City and our Local Reno/Burner community.  For places to shop for things other than clohting & accessories, check out  BurningMan.Com’s Reno Downtown Shopping Directory.

This is likely our last post before we head out.  See you in the Dust!
