FASHUN TWEEK! began yesterday at Alt Space in Bushwick and will feature one independent designer every evening until Friday. Alt Space is the official headquarters of music and culture blog/zine Alt Citizen and also functions as a gallery and concept store. Produced by Stylist/Art Director Philip Gomez and Editor-in-Chief of Alt Citizen Nasa Hadizadeh, FASHUN TWEEK! kicked off its first night with fashion designer
