Jantzen Swimwear headlines Portland Fashion Week tonight, as the runway shows continue for a fourth evening at Vigor Industrial Shipyard on Swan Island. Jantzen is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and while no longer headquartered in Portland the company was launched here in 1910.
Jantzen chose to feature a full runway show in its hometown tonight, so you’ll see 35 looks that feature suits from the 2010 Collection and the Heritage Collection, inspired by iconic Jantzen suits throughout the decades. If you like what you see, Jantzen is carried at Popina Swim in Northeast Portland.
