Well, not yet, but that’s what it feels like. There are too many events to remember, let alone all of the tools, apps and websites invented to help you navigate around town to find the best parties, see the most fabulous faces, and get the sweetest deals from pop-up shops and flash sales. And I’m [...]

Nobody — ain’t nobody — does a modern twist on vintage like Elaine Turner. At a preview party held at the accessories designer’s newly redecorated home in Hunters Creek Village, Houston, last Thursday, I fell for the total attention to detail in three separate collections: vintage (an homage to Turner’s 10-year anniversary), fall, and the [...]

Copenhangen’s Greatest Catwalk

TOOTSIES lines up fall trunk shows
I have to admit: I used to think TOOTSIES: the small Texas and Georgia chain of stores — which is laid out like a mini department store — was for old ladies. It’s not. It’s awesome. Last summer I went to a reveal for Houston-grown, New York-based designer Caycee Black, and besides Black’s own innovative [...]

Pics from FGI event, honoring Haute Houston
I’m not trying to insert a society post, I promise. But one of my new plans for FSML as I approach my anniversary this fall is to do more personal features about local (or just newbie) designers and collect stories from and about people who work in the fashion industry.
