Following hot on the high heels of Portland Fashion Week, four of Portland’s most talented designers can be seen in a Fashion Collective show at the Portland Center Stage Armory on Monday, Oct. 12. Liza Rietz, Emily Ryan Designs, Idom (who also showed at Portland Fashion Week) and Fuchsia Lin (the in-house costumer at Portland Center Stage) will show current collections, which are available right now at their local shops or online stores.
Dress by Liza Rietz.
“We decided to put on an independent show in order to showcase our collections to a more intimate crowd,” Rietz said. “All four of us designers share an appreciation of clothing as an artistic form of expression and we wanted to showcase our work together. We find it important to directly connect with the local community and customer base through our own independent fashion show.”
Also save the date for a trunk show at Ryan and Rietz’s shared shop from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 24.
