The actress Jemima Kirke hosted a closet sale in Red Hook, which consisted mostly of her homemade T-shirts. I spent $70 on one.
After months of my friends trying to convince me to visit Red Hook, all it took was some warmish weather andselling her clothes to get me there. On a recent Saturday afternoon, I hopped off the G train and walked 30 minutes past warehouses and Ikea to end up at Tiburon Brooklyn, the store where the actress’s sale was taking place, on the picturesque Van Brunt Street
Once inside, the racks of vintage jerseys and obscure knickknacks immediately called my name. My friends pointed to the left corner, where a handmade sign dangling over two clothing racks said, “Jem’s Clothes.” After a quick browse, we realized that the items were mostly T-shirts and that they were upwards of $175. Disappointed — I was hoping to score some designer accessories after Kirke shared a video on social media of— we continued looking around the store.
about her shirts before, but always somewhat cryptically, and since they didn’t show up when I searched them, I didn’t blame myself for not knowing. After another quick browse, I found a baby-pink tee that said, “To know me is to love me,” for $70. Kirke popped out of the corner to tell me she found all the designs from the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s and put them on the shirts. The baby-pink one was from the ’60s, which was why it was cheaper.
After debating whether to spend $70 on a T-shirt, my friends convinced me to do it for “the story” . I Venmoed Kirke the $70. I couldn’t help it: I had another question about how she makes the shirts. She seemed annoyed with my persistent questions, but I’m a journalist. I can’t help it! “I find the designs and put them on the shirts,” she answered. “Like with an iron?” I followed up. She answered, blunt and, “It won’t wash off, if that’s what you’re asking.” That is not what I was asking.
