After impressive showings by 36 designers, Portland Fashion Week wrapped up Wednesday with a classy bang. Standouts from the six-day affair included local favorites such as Seaplane owners Kate Towers, pictured, and Holly Stalder, and Dallas-based Laura Chapuis, the brains behind the ultra-sustainable Habitude (peace, silk and organic cotton, anyone?). It's exciting to see this once-small, regional event get a lot of press, giving its designers the forum they deserve. Lisa Radon over at Ultra has the week's most comprehensive rundown, making her just the woman to launch The Dressing Room, the Northwest's first glossy, fashion trade magazine in early 2008.
