Everything You Need to Know about Content 2014

The wildly popular Content at Ace Hotel (which I can talk up all I want to now that I'm not working on it!) is returning for its annual edition Saturday, Oct 18.

For the uninitiated, the event selects local designers (mostly of apparel and accessories, but also home goods, scents, and—as of this year—flowers) and assigns them the task of transforming one of the hotel's guest rooms into an installation that gives attendees a view into the minds and/or processes behind some of the city's most interesting emerging brands. It takes up an entire floor of the hotel, and there's a pop-up shop in the adjacent Cleaners selling goods from the folks upstairs, and well, all I can say is try to get there early—it's always super-packed.

• SIXSEVEN (the new collaborative line and forthcoming shop from Liza Rietz and BOET)
