portland fashion week

On Friday my friend D and I went to a runway show at Portland Fashion Week. There were four womenswear designers, and one menswear designer. It all felt very chic and glamorous, and I loved getting to see the work of some local Portland designers. The runway shows were held in a warehouse in the industrial shipyards on Swan Island, adding to the cool factor.
We were only willing (able) to pay for the standing room only tickets, but we got a pretty good view of the runway. I was jealous of all the people sitting in the front row, which was (not) shockingly lacking celebrities.

Models have such fierce walks. I wonder what kind of reactions I would get if I worked on developing a runway walk for my everyday life?

The menswear collection was to die for. I had a very strong urge to drag my non-existent husband to his store and dress him head to toe in Collier. The models didn't hurt the look of the collection any either.

Always love an excuse to dress up! D even got asked to pose for a photograph by a fashion blogger!
Also, is this street light outside the warehouse not the most flattering light ever? I thought these pics made us look great!
