Studio Sessions: Sandra Gungaloo and Linda-Rose Michel Jackson
The designers behind Seattle fashion label Mabel Brempong share the personal stories woven into their collections and their hopes for what the brand can become.
Fashion tells a story. What we wear says something about who we are, but sometimes, the designs themselves have stories to tell, too. At Mabel Brempong, those stories take shape in sculptural silhouettes and delicate floral prints, with unexpected details that give the clothes an elegant yet whimsical quality. The Seattle-based luxury womenswear label creates…

Best Menswear Store: Glasswing
Seattle doesn’t always get credit as a style-centric city, but spend some time at Glasswing and that notion seems ridiculous. Founded by Sean Frazier, Forest Eckley, and Alisa Furoyama in 2013, the handsome Capitol Hill shop brings together clothing from designers around the world, with collections selected nine months to a year in advance. And…

How a Move to Italy Changed Everything for Seattle Designer Angeline Brunk
The former Luly Yang designer followed her curiosity abroad and came home ready to launch her namesake fashion line.
Angeline Brunk thought she was planning an European vacation at the end of 2022. Then another thought arrived: “What if I didn’t come back?” Within months, the Seattle fashion designer had sold nearly everything she owned and moved to Italy. She didn’t have a business plan. She wasn’t enrolling in one of the country’s prestigious…
The Black Women Who Dressed Hip-Hop Take the Spotlight at MOPOP

Capitol Hill Gets a Fashion Walk
The inaugural Pike Pine Social brings more than 50 businesses together for a weekend of style, food, music, and neighborhood fun.
Capitol Hill, like most Seattle neighborhoods, rewards a loose plan. You wander into a shop, follow music down the block, stop for a drink, admire a jacket in a window that you definitely do not need, and end up at the park watching an impromptu soccer game. That spirit is behind Pike Pine Social, a…
The Best Outfit Might Already Be in Your Closet
LAYERED: Style in Motion turns previously owned pieces from Seattle closets into an Earth Day runway show.
You know that spring feeling where nothing in your closet looks right, even though it’s full of clothes you were perfectly happy with two weeks ago? The jeans you wore all winter suddenly feel too dark-wash for warmer weather, and your lightweight sweaters are covered in those little lint balls. That’s probably why this is…
Climbing Rocks with Spikey Tools
Dry tooling is an increasingly popular and challenging adventure
Scratch, tap, squeak. The sound of my tools pierces the cold fall day, awakening a primal feeling within me. These tools aren’t meant for building a house, or crafting a sculpture, but for climbing on rock…
Ditch the Wait: Celebrate Your Body Now
Dress for the body you have
There’s an unspoken pressure to conform to society’s idealized body standards, leading many to say, “I’ll dress better when I have the body I want.” This mindset transforms our closets into holding cells for aspirations rather than reflections of who we are today…
