Pantless Mannequins Flock to Seaplane Key West
Seaplane has once again retained its title for the funnest shirt at the party. Made in the USA, this women’s and menswear brand buys high quality leftover textiles to produce zany buttonup shirts and tunics in their 6-person studio in Philadelphia. As style icon and renowned singer Beyoncé told Seaplane owner, Schuyler Brown, in a dream, “my dress is fabulous but your shirts are on fire!”
After two successful locations in Palm Springs and Provincetown, Schuyler set his sights on iconic 910 Duval in downtown Key West. The store’s proximity to the equator (and a steady flow of Prosecco) permit respite to those seeking connection — and wardrobe update in delicious prints. Named at the whim of the designer, popular prints include “Whirly Wild World” and “Canary Coalmine.”
Over past weeks many mannequins have come to roost in Seaplane’s windows — sans pants. “Do you see any pants in here at all?” replies the owner. And that’s okay because Seaplane does amazing shirts for the funky and exceptional, offered affordably because Seaplane is the producer. The more you buy the more you save!
Local celebrities and captivated visitors have caused a surplus of empty hangers in their quest to collect these limited run shirts. A recent skirmish over “What in Carnation” was settled in a dance with pantless mannequins (one of which fell apart under pressure).
Shenanigans abound at Seaplane’s weekly Shirtshow party, an eclectic mix of impromptu demonstrations in an open space and central location. Thanks to the contribution from local producers like Key West Smuggler, this store-cum-lounge is sure to become a hit with music lovers, deal makers, exhausted Norwegians and the occasional rooster.
It’s original. It’s outrageous. It’s the funnest shirt at the party. Now, the place with pantless mannequins. Ladies and gents, welcome to Seaplane.
