past fashion choice most cringe-worthy?
I used to wear Calvin Klein overalls in high school. From Costco. Why? Why?! Although now overalls are apparently coming back. Yeesh.
clothing item you can’t wait to purchase?
A new pair of brown leather boots for Fall!
what’s your take on seattle style?
It can thoroughly be improved upon. A little less fleece, please. We’re a major metropolitan city! Let’s start dressing that way! Leave the NorthFace for recreational activities. Although I respect that our city doesn’t take itself too seriously, style-wise. Fashion is supposed to be fun, not uptight.
white belts, yes or no?
Oh Lord, it really depends on the context, but usually it’s a big no.
name a song and cocktail that were made for each other-
French 75 and “Le Foule” by Edith Piaf.
design duo – jeff + sam – barney’s – downtown seattle
i’ve gotten a wee bit behind… it might have been the over 700 images from the vogue show. here’s my images of the designers of shipley & halmos, such cool, social guys. always nice to meet the people behind the product. for a very nice write up, click here. to see their suit featured in vogue for fashion night out (congrats!) click here.
the dandy – chris – nordstrom designer preview – magnolia
there’s something to be said for enjoying what you wear, for finding whimsy in fashion, and knowing your style.
young + fun – ben – international district
this first week of the new job has been FUN! i’ve already learned a ton about legwear. like jeggings, and treggings… who knew? i saw ben and had to get a picture. i’ll be designing some legwear for spring 11 over the weekend… would love to hear your thoughts on the legging trends!
suit – sean – sam remix – seattle
if you’re a fan of harvey danger, ENJOY! also, how rude is it to jump in to photos…? also, my husband thinks sean’s pose is reminiscent of elvis costello. i agree.
best dressed – chris – sam remix – seattle
i met chris years ago… my favourite thing about him is that no matter when i run into him, he is always, without fail a) smiling b) dressed in a suit c) at a party. which, i suppose, also means that i’m always at a party…hmmmm. there are worse things than running into smiling, well dressed men at parties.
use of color – alicia betty – pioneer square
alicia betty was a sweetie to let us (and all the other people) accost her on the street. when we stopped to ask her for a photo, i think some people thought she was famous (and also wanted photos), to which she responded- don’t you know who i am? i’m alicia betty!
plaid + cardi – j.r. – pioneer square
i often get shy stopping men on the street for photos. i wanted to ask j.r. about his tatoos, but… figured asking for a photo was enough. love the very prep belt detail and cardi next to all the ink.
stripes – dustin – pioneer square
last night was artwalk…i headed down to my usual haunts, and roamed about. i feel like pioneer square isn’t getting the traffic it used to. downtown seemed to have more going on…
also, since i shirked my posting duties for most of the week (this isn’t my day job) i’ve decided you get the fruits of all my effort TODAY. check back throughout the day for my whole artwalk series posted in one day.
next week i’m hoping i’ll have something from sam remix. have a great weekend- xoxox k.
slim silhouette – gus – fremont
remember when it was sunny? ahhh, memories. i think gus works at eyes on fremont. one of the coolest places in seattle to buy glasses…
