There's no particular story; viewers can make up their own, he says.Richmond RetailingA temporary traveling market will touch down in Richmond this weekend, offering shoppers a chance to check out goods from more than 20 American designers and several local vendors.The market, emphasizing American-made mens-wear, shoes, accessories and lifestyle goods, will feature apparel from Billy Reid, named Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.Among the other brands available will be Pierrepont Hicks, Osmium, The Hill-Side, Appa-latch and Cause & Effect.The traveling market called a pop-up in the retail industry-will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday in the former power plant at 1201 Haxall Point near the Riverside on the James development along the Canal Walk in downtown Richmond.The market idea originated from Northern Grade, a Minnesota-based retail operation. The company is on a nationwide tour, with stops including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington. After the Richmond event, Chicago is next on the schedule.Coordinating the Richmond stop is Need Supply Co., which sells men's and women's apparel and other items both online and from its base at 3100 W. Cary St. in Cary-town.Need Supply spokeswoman Molly Szkotak said several local companies will be represented. For example, Shockoe Denim will be on hand selling its high-end jeans, as will high-end shirt retailer Ledbury selling only American-made迷你倉accessories. Local furniture merchant OddCouple will be there with an assortment of antique pieces.Lamplighter Roasting Co. will have a coffee cafe. Area food trucks will offer a variety of menus. Foster Cuts will set up a men's grooming station.For some, the star of the weekend market will be the venue, the historic Haxall building.Built in 1899, the former power plant overlooks a restored canal in the midst of an upscale downtown riverfront development. The building was a Virginia Electric and Power Co. hydroelectric generating plant before it was shut down in stages from 1955 through 1965.In 2000, The Cordish Cos., a Balti-more-based developer, bought the 20,000-square-foot building and the nine-tenths-of-an-acre lot.Cordish said earlier this year that it was putting the building on the market for $3.5 million, but now it is trying to lease the space.Jeffrey Cooke, a senior vice president with Cushman & Wakefield -- Thalhimer and the listing broker, said he is optimistic that the company will lease the space because of the location.The Haxall plant's interior has a 28-foot ceiling. For the pop-up market, Need Supply has commissioned a mural that local artist Duncan Robertson has been painting inside the building."It's a scene that lets the viewer provide the story," Robertson said. It features a fishing boat captain and a man and woman, with styles evoking the 1920s or '30s.rhailman@timesdispatch.com (804) 649-6844Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Va.)
