Tweed Designs

Photos of last week’s Tweed Run in New York have been floating around the internet, and I couldn’t help joining in the fun from far away!

Tweed Runs have happened in big cities around the world since 2009, and they look like such a fun costume party each time! People put together their tweed outfits, head out on their bicycles, and ride together through the streets of their city. They even stop for tea, served with scones in china cups!

I’ve loved scrolling through photos – they each seem like a beautiful escape to a different era. I didn’t realize so many people have closets full of tweed!

I’m quite smitten with their artfully designed posters – a little different for each event, with backdrops of great buildings. Here are the posters from London, New York and Florence.

But even better than the posters? Photos of the Tweed Runners. So elegant in their tweed outfits!

Don’t the photos just make you want to live in a different decade? Everyone looks so romantic, cruising through the city on their bicycles. Who’s up for starting a Dublin Tweed Run?

Here’s Bill Cunningham from the New York Times talking about the event and sharing his photos.
