New York, London, Portland.

You might have thought so if you were in Stumptown at the beginning of the month. Our sister city to the south celebrated new collections and local and regional design with a series of runway shows and fashion events so good that at least one Seattle designer took outsider status over the hometown options.

Portland Monthly, the big-sister to Seattle Met, gets its fashion and style news from Eden Dawn, a trained designer and instructor with sharp wit and a discerning eye. Her multimedia coverage of Portland Fashion Week is nothing if not exhaustive. So enjoy.
