Adorn Opening With Local Artist Gomfon

Portland /// Swan Lewis
Back on the scene: This night on Russell and about a stones throw from MLKJr. The reason? My boy Gom was holding it down with his apparel at the opening of an accessory/clothing store. Adorn is the new spot over here. And I like what owner Nicole had to say about the store eventually making the move to mostly if not all local gear. Cascadia, Renegade, and a reason for me to be there. (more…)

Fanny Packs
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008///SheSho
Knit fanny pack is gray with gray and white fabric lining, black velcro and teal button. Knit fanny-packs are a modern and fashionable take on the traditional fanny-pack, which historically has had realistic appeal, but a lack of fashion appeal. The knit fanny-pack, which appeals to the current popularity of knit products, provides women on the go with the opportunity to be fashionable and practical; great for going dancing without having to worry about where to hide your purse. Fanny-packs are offered in several sizes, with an adjustable waist, and also come lined for women who would like to carry more heavy items without sag. Fabric lining comes from vintage fabrics, buttons are hand-picked by the designer, and all fannies are one-of-a-kind. Prices range from $18-22. myspace.com/sheshodesigns
///Black Star Bags
Apocalypse resistant with enough room for the 3 beer standard. Specializing in bike bags and pouches. These tough designs are for the “fuck you rain” set which are water proof and easy to put on or off, drunk or sober. These “Hip Pouches” are the result of a realistic need for bags for biking when you’re not using your messenger bag that’s big enough to move furniture. Black Star Bags (Dave Stoops) are made and sold at Breeze Block Gallery 1011 NE Alberta in Portland. They also come lined to help keep your 3 beers cold. Ranging in patterns from Camo to the custom made lobster with tough belts and plastic buckles. 503 442 1456 myspace.com/blackstarbags.

A creative love for every aspect of design and sewing is the inspiration for this authenticity. “I get true satisfaction making every unique piece. It reminds me of painting because sometimes I just don’t know what is going to happen next!” tells Jen. (more…)
Pack To The Future
Monday, March 24th, 2008 
Written by Amanada Wheeler
Scary things can tend to happen on a lunch hour. Long lines, credit cards declined, flies in the soup, hunger pains, stale bread…and hell, even stale jokes. But NOTHING could ever prepare me for what happened the other day at my favorite lunch spot. There I was, minding my own business, visualizing the delicious five-alarm chili that would soon be burning the inside lining of my stomach, when out of nowhere the woman in front of me reaches into her FANNY PACK to pull out her method of payment. At first I was convinced that Doc Brown had shoved me into the DeLorean and I was relieving my youth, but then I came to and remembered my favorite band was not Wilson Phillips, and that 90210 had since been cancelled. What the hell? Fanny pack? Is that really you?
The answer my friends, is yes. The fanny pack is back on the scene and it’s taking no prisoners (side note: ‘fanny’ is also a British slang term for girl parts, and by girl parts I mean vagina). Designer labels including Gucci, Fendi and Louis Vuitton have hopped on the fanny train and created several styles to store your precious valuables in at less than an arm’s length away. They do use code words like ‘waist pouch’, or ‘waist belt bag’ to trick you into believing that it’s not a recycled fad from the days of peg-legged jeans or hypercolor. The time of neon-colored belly bags are gone however, and have been replaced with black, neutrals, and of course designer logo patterns to give it a more highbrow feel. But, with a great status symbol also comes a great chunk of change, and the purchase of this trend will most likely require the use of your ‘has-been’ wallet. So just remember dear reader, whether you feel that ‘the pack’ is a fashion do or don’t, money will never go out of style.

Rare is it these days when a new idea, taken from two old ideas emerges and succeeds. We all saw what rap combined with rock did to us as a people, and even now, we are being audibly raped by the fusion of country and pop. O’, the days grow longer and colder as we try to figure out our own identities, good God must be smiling upon us, observing our Billboard Top 40 lists, and smiling from ear to holy ear. (more…)

Portland | Written by Amanda Wheeler /// photos by Melani Brown
When pondering the examples of socially-conscious fashion, your mind may tend to wander toward the infamous PETA ads featuring leggy, nude supermodels feigning concern. Inside, we know they’re just practicing the correct pronunciation of the word ‘faux,’ and if Camel Lights equals fewer calories. Let’s be honest, we’re in need of a new inspiration. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to a fresh, environmentally-aware alternative, Portland designer Emily Katz. The fall 2007 collection from Emily Katz utilizes earth-friendly fabrics, including recycled poly/hemp denim, organic cotton fleece and soy/lycra jersey (oh yeah, that’s right, soy baby). Supermodels be damned. (more…)
