It is 9:30 p.m. on Friday night in Williamsburg inside an art space, Secret Project Robot. New and upcoming designers are about to start their runway shows — part of Williamsburg Fashion Weekend. The room is over maximum capacity, and everyone is sweating in their flannel.

The event classifies itself as unorthodox. Maybe more appropriately, the shows are like off-off-off-Broadway skits, ranging from models smoking at a table while drinking Jameson to being accompanied by a resident Brooklyn singer, Shira Goldberg.

The shows are a bit distracting from the clothes, but these lines, that have yet to have a real life outside of Brooklyn, offer some recession-friendly prices to a shopper.

Arthur Arbit, who runs the event, warmed the crowd up with his sculpture-meets-fashion line. If Batman were to decide on an avant-garde piece, Arbit’s clothes would be perfect.

Racecar, by Nettie Tiso, makes both men’s and women’s clothes. All the outfits are practical and ready-to-wear. She particularly showed one outfit: a harvest orange loose tank and a pair of navy blue and white striped daisy dukes that are worth the trip out to Brooklyn.

Marcus Hicks of SDN is now making all his own shoes. His styles are classics, and many are eco-friendly. Hicks has worked as a freelance tailor for Beyoncé, Jon Bon Jovi,  Jerry O’Connell,  Calvin Klein,  John Bartlett and Perry Ellis.

Ninkybink, designed by Adrianne Lee, puts a modern twist on the 1950s girly girl — a trend that is really in right now. Although most of her line is very traditional 1950s lingerie, there was a red dress with white trim that was street-ready.

Last came two designers from popular Williamsburg boutiques: Erin Weckerle for Sodafine and Sirius for Treehouse, accompanied by all-girl rockers The Hard Nips.

More designers showed on Saturday night: Alisha Trimble, Total Crap, Uninc, Yard  and No Name Collective.

Whether choosing from this list of designers or simply going shopping along Bedford to find a steal, getting there is easy. Take the L train to the Bedford stop, and when you pop out of the subway, there are boutiques in every direction.
