In the January issue of Portland Monthly, style-crazed readers will:

← Follow the meteoric rise of an Oregonian student-turned-supermodel as she went from the campus of the University of Oregon to walking runways in Paris and around the world.

◊ Get the goods on the best locally made stuff we found this month in our Trophy Case.

◊ Experience the colorful marriage between Rwandan and Portland fashion and meet its facilitator.

◊ Glimpse how the development of Portland’s shopping spaces is evolving in a big way with "civic-minded development".
