Fashion / Event Riddle Me This: The Scheduling of Portland Fashion Week
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:21 AM
The second week in October is Portland Fashion Week (check the schedule here), but the whole story of Portland Fashion won't be told on the official runways, with a growing number of shows and events stacking up on the calendar on and around the official dates of October 8-12. On Friday the 10th, for instance, Adam Arnold plans to do a sort of "drive by" presentation--precise plans are still in the making, but after some hurdles with putting on a more traditional show, he tells me he's regrouping, and considering a smaller collection that will add to his existing library of classic styles, inviting clients to drop by the studio to see the new debuts between certain hours, perhaps modeled by individuals basically hanging out in the new clothes, thus giving Arnold--who is almost as well known and liked for his charisma as his designs--more face time with everyone. Also on the 10th, the awesome Winn Perry men's emporium is set to celebrate its grand opening beginning at 4 pm, and a cohort of up and coming lines--Reif, Emily Katz, Dust, Paradox, Sword + Fern, and Moth Love--are having a show titled Runaway at 9 pm at the Someday Lounge--that demands quite a dash from anyone who wants to see the awesome May Tee at PFW, which is scheduled to commence its runway shows nightly at 8 pm.
The hustle continues on Saturday the 11th, with the announcement today of church + state's fall fashion show scheduled for 7 pm at Frances May, making it tricky to catch Christopher Bevans at 8... It will, at least, be a workout.
church + state: their collections are some of the most anticipated in town...
