Last
night I attended Fashion’s Night Out at The Bellevue Collection. What a
wonderful evening they planned.
Last year was fun, but this year they decided
to add so much more to the event.
Center Court was the
place to be. Not only did they have great food and entertainment, but as an
added surprise, they were showing fashions from our independent Seattle
designers.
Both Lizzie
Parker and Lisa Vian Hunter from NBC's Fashion Star were present, and I got to
chat with both of them about their upcoming show and creations.
I also
got to meet with Carole McClellan, who created an amazing menswear look.
On second glance, she
told me a little bit about her inspiration for her design.
Look at the detail
on this jacket! What I didn't know is that it was made out of denim! The
buttons, she informed me, were found at a flee market in Paris.
Carole has
personally dressed alot of rockers, and loves working with unique fabrics,
using leather, fur, and stretch velvet.

Like me, she
also loves to add creative touches of jewelry and vintage pieces. I am looking
forward to seeing more from this designer.
I loved the details in
the fashions that I saw there. Fabrics were rich, everything from brocade to black
satin,to silk with hand stitched flowers and touches of pearl.
The flow of soft knits
and hand crochet dresses were also present. The overall feeling was one
of elegance and a sense of true femininity.

I'm excited for the
seasons ahead. I love the combination of edgy mixed with soft, black teamed with cool
metallic accessories, and boho chic.
