London Fashion Week: Street Style Ready
ASOS Sweatshirt | Pink Aviators | Acne studios Beanie | Pants Finders Keepers | Cobalt Coat Fashion week Part II, aka London is upon us and I couldn’t be happier. I recently read an article about how Raf Simmons taking over the helm of Calvin Klein was perhaps the worst thing to happen to American fashion in a while. Their reasoning: American fashion has become a bit one-note and we are now importing ‘American fashion’ from Europe. Despite the 80s revival, the American power house designers of the 80’s simply aren’t showing up anymore, neither are the majors of 90’s etc. Marc Jacobs’ brand has all but dissolved, Donna Karan…

Make yourself a pot of coffee and double check to make sure your ‘Pin’ button is installed in your browser because it is Fashion Month people! Wahoo! For some of us this is like the Superbowl and World Series all rolled into one and it happens twice a year. This go-round it’s Fall 2017 we are seeing and Fall happens to be my favorite season simply due to the opportunity to wear more clothing in more interesting ways. What to expect on the Runways: We saw a TON of color on both last Fall (2016) and Spring 17’s runways so expect saturated hues and bold statements. Pastels have also been…

Chic Handbags with Something to Say: Anguay Reed Designs
Fashion has always being a fundamental means of expression for both designers and every day people which means that often Fashion and Politics have become strange bedfellows when it comes to making powerful statements. This past season on the runway everyone from Dior to Vera Wang was making a statement with their designs but this practice of politics through art is not exclusive to the high fashion world. Locally here in Seattle I had the opportunity to meet with local designer Crystal from Anguay Reed Designs who has found her voice in the recent political climate by creating amazing handcrafted clutches that also carry with them a strong statement of…
