If you were in Bellevue last Friday night (September 30), you might have felt like you had landed in a transcontinental time warp where grunge-era outerwear was in a mashup with African safari colors and ‘80s abstract designs with prep references. If you had been wondering what to wear in Seattle this fall, the Zebra Club runway show during Bellevue Fashion Week would have pointed you toward Seattle staples (plaid shirts—mix ’em with stripes!—and big cozy sweaters), animal and camo prints, oversized metallic jewelry, and bowties (we’re talking to you, ladies).

Held inside the Eastside’s piano bar, Piano Bash, the show was soundtracked by different performers, including Seattle-based hip-hop trio The Physics, which gave the evening an urban lounge vibe with moments of otherworldly nightclub madness. At one point one of the performance duos, Don’t Talk to the Cops, danced for so long on stage that the models couldn’t get on to the runway.

The slideshow here puts you next to us in the media section. Be sure to check the details: shirts buttoned all the way to the top (’80s nerd chic, for men and women), earthy textiles and ethnic prints mixed with nighttime moods and apparel, fishtail braids (7 Salon did the hair), statement-making necklaces, and lots of plaid.
