▲ S.F. STREET STYLE 

Visual creative inspiration from the streets of San Francisco:
This is Clarion Alley; a vibrant, colorful, artistic landscape of social expressionism located in The Mission neighborhood of San Francisco.

The street is notable for community and arts activity, including the Clarion Alley Mural Project, the American Indian Center and Promotoras Latinas Comunitarias de Salud. The Clarion Alley Mural Project formed in 1982, inspired by Balmy Alley and other murals and muralists of San Francisco's Mission District. The group is an artists' collective formed by a volunteer collective of six North Mission residents: Aaron Noble, Michael O'Connor, Sebastiana Pastor, Rigo 92, Mary Gail Snyder, and Aracely Soriano. The project creates and facilitates other artists creating murals on Clarion Alley, between Valencia and Mission Streets and surrounding areas. While the Balmy Alley mural project focused on the theme of Central American struggle, the stated goals of CAMP were social inclusiveness and aesthetic variety.

This is the latest mural being developed in Clarion Alley, taken just yesterday. (Each of the artists who are members of CAMP are allowed designated spaces along the walls of the alley; artists will sometimes leave their work up for months at a time, or, refresh new work within weeks of development.)

▲ THANK YOU from THE SUNSET SESSIONS


Dear friends,

Thank you so much for following & supporting The Sunset Sessions. 
If you're new here, welcome and thanks for your interest and for those of you supporting from day 1—
your presence is truly appreciated.

This has been a longtime vision to bring to life—and I'm so exited about making this endeavor finally happen this year. There is so much work which goes on behind the scenes to make everything come together to publicly share the photography & fashion collections here, so it means a lot to be able to finally share some really fabulous, unique clothing with special friends and also have others see & appreciate the creative collaborations being executed...

I try really hard to keep everything truly authentic and share legit, very well-crafted
and excellent condition fashions from 60s to 90s.
Many of the items available are either very rare items or were simply one-of-a-kind original handmade/custom designs. The word "vintage" is really popular these days and is beginning to be loosely thrown about, but, I feel compelled to share legitimate vintage items which are older than 20+ yrs and also ALWAYS in GOOD quality or better.

The California cultural & boardriding aspect is very important to me as a 4th-gen native Californian, who grew up snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding all over the state, raised by a long line of passionate hippies, artists and craftsman who were professional merchants & tradesmen, artists & musicians and athletes.
Philanthropy is also incredibly important, as I've spent most of my life either donating hours or monies to non-profits and social causes which I care about, which is why I incorporate the monthly sales donations & help share proactive messages with the social media community. 

I try to keep things pretty transparent, so, if you ever have any questions or concerns, please email: hello@sunset-sessions.com anytime or if you simply want to say HELLO or place a custom or shop order.

I'm currently in midst of designing original custom clothing (to be released Winter 2013) and also about to add a few new custom product collaborations to the shop (whose sales give directly back to social causes) so stay tuned for more updates as things grow...

THANK YOU AGAIN for your support xx
