The retro modern looks our models wore on their imaginary escapades represent our city’s unique, shop local aesthetic. They combine thrift shop finds, fair trade fashion, upscale consignment, upcycled designs, alpaca and artisan garments from local stores and designers. In an unexpected mix of one-of-a-kind items, these looks would be as fun to give as gifts as they are to wear to a cocktail party to close out the old year and ring in the new. Consider them inspiration as you contemplate both your holiday shopping list and the wardrobe demands of your social calendar. Cheers.
