Top Picks for FashionXT
Tonight kicks off the reincarnation of Portland Fashion Week into the newly remodeled FashionXT. As has happened every year for the last billion (real time 8) years, I will be front row for the shows applauding, raising eyebrows, Tweeting and, in general, pretending to be Anna Wintour (with longer hair and far more smiley). If you’re not familiar with all the names or who to be excited about, Shop Talk offers up picks for who we look forward to seeing.
If you can’t make it out to the shows, make sure to check back every day for our reviews and slideshows, in addition to live Tweets from the runway.

Runway Designers: Top Picks: Known in part for being last season's bully to Becky Ross, this alum just revealed his spot on the new season of Project Runway All Stars 2. We're itching to see if he shows something that lives up to that casting. |

Runway Designers: Top Picks: All of them. Stephanie D. Couture has a history of showing flowing evening dresses that impress while Silvania is a new Portland designer on the scene. Both Gehlhausen and Costello are return vistors to Portland and sent beautiful looks down the runway last time. |
