No matter how disgruntled you were with this summer’s weather, it’s hard to argue with a fall that’s this gorgeous. Especially considering the fall looks that are in stores and on the streets—and, if you don’t mind me saying so, in Seattle Met. (Big thanks to New York-by-way-of-Woodinville photographer Alvin Nguyen and our locally based models from Heffner and SMG).

You can see our fall fashion editorial, the New West, here, and for more insight on what inspired the images, check this mini-feature (ha!) of outtakes, extras, and commentary by yours truly.
