Fashion’s Night Out in Seattle 2011
Fashion’s Night Out last night was a monumental success, thanks to both its hardworking organizers and the boutiques and restaurants that invited us inside for a luxurious evening of shopping, crudites, cocktails, and the city’s best-dressed.
We began our evening at Mario’s, Seattle’s landmark luxury shopping destination.

We perused their impeccably-chosen lines from Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Kiton, and Isaia, sipped Caipiroskas provided by 42 Below, and enjoyed delectable bite-sized steak sandwiches from Morton’s.
Then, we ventured over to The Finerie, where we chatted with owners Michael and Tanya and sipped mojitos while we perused their racks.
Then, it was off to Barney’s, which kindly offered nibbles and a selection of cava and prosecco to us. A big thanks to Barney’s impeccable staff.
Nordstrom’s twitter team, led by Shauna Causey, held a tweetup at Nordstrom’s Flagship Store’s Nordstrom Grill, which was a real treat. A big thanks to Nordstrom!
Can Seattle’s retailers step it up again next year? Here’s hoping they do.
Deli X Creative Recreation
My favorite boutique in Seattle, the very innovative guys over at Deli, just got some new product in from the brainiacs at Creative Recreation:

I just found out that they’re got a few pairs left. Get down there and get your hands on a pair before they’re gone!

I want this knit.
ACL found this Made in England knit by Garbstore while in Paris recently, and I cannot possibly desire anything more than I desire this knit:

The Classy Lady and the Jezebel

I love how the various visible elements in this photo work together.
Vanessa, seated with her legs closed, stands in contrast to the woman in the painting above her shoulder, whose legs are spread apart. Vanessa’s outfit is much more staid and formal than the hussy, as well.
My favorite part, though, is the bottle of Tanqueray seen above her opposite shoulder. Indeed, a bottle of liquor is often all it takes to turn a respectable lady into something much more sinister.
At night, do angels change into black? It seems so.
Appearance and Respect
“Mr. Greenfield first grasped the importance of appearances while trying to survive the Holocaust. When he was 14, he and his father, mother, two sisters and a brother were taken from their home in Pavlova, in what was then Czechoslovakia, and later delivered to Auschwitz.
He was assigned to wash clothes in the camp’s alteration shop, and one day he accidentally ripped an SS officer’s shirt, an affront for which he was beaten. The officer threw the shirt at Mr. Greenfield, who mended it and started wearing it instead of the uniforms the other prisoners wore. From then on, he said, the guards and prisoners began treating him with respect.
“He looked like a somebody,” said Jay Greenfield, 52, Mr. Greenfield’s oldest son and the executive vice president of the company, Martin Greenfield Clothiers, explaining that his father attributes his survival to that shirt. The rest of Mr. Greenfield’s family perished in the camp, though he did not find that out immediately and spent two years after the war looking for them.”

Wow. (Lacoste S/S 2011)



Simple, classic, elegant. Lacoste knows how I like my runway shows (all you avant-garde fashionistas be-damned!). Also, I’d like to make it known that I would marry this model in a heartbeat.

SAM Remix Recap
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:

With SethAaron Henderson at SAM Remix
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.
Seattle DOES have good looking, fashionable people
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:
