This is the second part of a 4-part series on adding Victorian flair to everyday fashion. Read the first part. And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that … Read moreAFTERNOON IN THE SUN
I’d like to call it the Downton Abbey effect: It seems like in every high-end boutique and fast-fashion mecca alike, there’s a ruffled silk blouse or flowy Gunne Sax copycat maxi dress in the window. Like when I stopped by Zimmerman’s new brick-and-mortar in Las … Read moreMODERN VICTORIAN
Another summer, another Passion4Fashion Week — but this time with an even more robust schedule of events.

“How would you describe the fashion scene in Indiana?” It’s my first question — I don’t start with the easy ones — and after it’s asked, the room falls silent for a second before everyone rushes to answer. The responses of the nine other people … Read moreFaces of Fashion: INDFW
It’s hard to believe that after months of conference calls, meetings, research and planning, the Japanese fashion gala at Newfields is in the past. Like a wedding, it was glamorous and fun — and over in a flash, it seems. Thankfully, that’s what photos are … Read moreMatsuri: Japanese fashion festival

But guess what? It never has. That’s because the show — whether it graced the Northside … Read moreMWFW: Spring 2019
