Kids and Babies is the featured collection this month at Fasten Collective, a Bay View boutique, art gallery, workshop studio and launch pad dedicated to the thriving art and fashion community of Milwaukee.
Fittingly, the creative minds at Fasten host a family-friendly puppet show on Saturday, May 3 at the boutique, 2224 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. The show begins at 1 p.m. with kids' crafts to follow.
Fasten carries clothes, bibs and accessories for newborns on up to age 6 from designers such as V-Gear, Rustbelt Fiberwerks, Papaview, Dimple Baby, Modesto and Little Ocean.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
