Interesting outfits, guys.

I love this look. Rarely do you see a skirt with pockets.

The sold out SAM Remix on Friday was phenomenal. Everybody seemed to enjoy the Kurt and Warhol exhibitions upstairs, and there were so many other things that were going on, it would’ve made your head spin.

I really love the photos taken at Remix by Flickr user SheSchemes. Here are some of my favorites of hers taken on Friday:

Here are some photos I shot of the event:

Le 21eme Arrondissement and Needle + Thread also have some great shots from Remix. Click on over to see their shots.

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. SethAaron Henderson, the winner of Season 7 of Project Runway (the most recent season as of this writing) at SAM Remix on Friday. He’s quite friendly, and is a phenomenal designer.

Hopefully, we’ll be seeing him in Seattle again shortly.

My tour immediately followed his.

Shyama Rose on moving to New York City:

“It is weird seeing models everywhere. They are freakishly tall, sort of oblong, and never wear bras. But they’re kind of neat because I view them as these unique genetic mutations.”

Damn, I’m tired – Demosthenes

People always joke about how unstylish and casual Seattleites tend to be, what with their stand-bys of Birkenstocks worn with socks paired with any old fleece from the local REI. As evidenced by the following photo, there are denizens of this fine city who do care about what they wear:

I’ve finally taken the plunge and started posting my best looks on Lookbook:

Be prepared for a lot of new stuff ahead…

A dear friend of mine, Shyama Rose (prounounced “shawm-ah”), is a nascent-yet-accomplished upcoming fashion designer in Seattle, and (soon) New York City. I’d like to highlight this piece of hers because I cannot fathom how such a striking, quality design could be put-together by hand, and by someone without traditional Fashion School training. Some people just have a knack (and an eye) for good design, and she’s one of them:

This isn’t her first time working with leather, and nowadays, people stop her on the street asking her where she got her unique jacket, and after telling them she made it herself, she gets commissioned to create new bespoke pieces right then and there. It’s really amazing what raw talent, inspiration, and a little perspiration can do for you. It’s worked wonders for her. Shyama Rose, upcoming fashion designer, I commend you.

Not your traditional lab coat – the anti-shazzzam

You can get in touch with Shyama at shyama (at) gmail (dot) com.

If you can identify what Chiara is holding above her head, you get two points.

“Put a man in an expensive suit and he feels as though he is Hank Rearden. Show a woman how beautiful she looks in a wedding gown and she feels validated. Getting dressed doesn’t have to be a pesky nuisance. It doesn’t have to be an indulgence of the superficial. It can be a tool of progression.”
