Fashion Pie

I'm leaving for China in 8 days!! Wow I feel like I have a million things to do. Especially because I am leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow for the whole weekend. Here are photos from the group's trip last year. Top, pre-show rehersal with a beautiful red Sarah Seven dress, then the crowd, all there to see what Portland fashion is all about, then two Sarah Seven looks from the runway. (All the photos are by Leah Nash.) We will be having a show again this year, all thanks to the good fashion people at Beijing Fashion Week and of course the Portland Fashion Synergy board. More about the trip I promise...

I love poetry and fashion for the same reasons--both speak a language that is both dramatic and subtle, and can be enjoyed on the most basic level (as simple as the poetry of a song or beautiful fashion photography) or considered with the furvor as a scholar.

With poetry, I find great inspiration in the the passionate works of the 13th century Sufi poet Rumi, last century's romantic Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and my late grandmother Anita Hamm. It will be my greatest pleasure to share some of the poetry that makes me tick, plus some of my own.

Each season I anticipate the poetic work of designer Albert Elbaz of Lanvin, the strong focus of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler and the eco-conscious elegant athleticism of Stella McCartney (to name a few), as well as what the designers at home in Portland are creating. Fashion's ever-changing landscape makes for an engaging show. I love contributing to the fashion dialog--I am proud of my work as a writer, makeup artist and stylist and when I'm helping to create beautiful photographs on set, I find myself pinching myself to see if it's just a dream!
