Ohio Fashion Awards
The winners of the inaugural Ohio Fashion Awards were announced during this year's Ohio Fashion Week. See who the winners are!
  • Blue Orchid Handbags

    Blue Orchid handbag designer Jackie Adamany began making handbags three years ago. She has been sewing for over 30 years, and with her love of handbags she thought it was, “only natural to take my creativity into the direction of designing and sewing handbags.”
  • New York Fashion Week

    New York’s Spring 2010 Fashion Week gloomed and doomed the audience for the first few days. As the week drearily progressed, it also became apparent that most designers fit into one of two categories: salable clothing or clothing based upon fantasy.
  • Recession chic

    Fashion is impacted by everything happening in our ever-changing culture. With the current economic downturn, people have to be budget savvy, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Trends for the fall reflect the current recession, and a lot of these trends are staple items that can be worn many different ways. These seven trends are all influenced by the economy today, as well as the recession that occurred during the 80s.
  • The Cleveland Women's Show

    The second annual Cleveland Women's Show was held at the I-X Center last weekend, and a large part of the event was devoted to fashion. Here are some highlights of the designs that were tearing up the runway:
  • Organizing your closet: a step-by-step guide

    Getting your closet in order is actually very fulfilling and can be fun as well. Once you get it done you will have a sense of accomplishment plus extra time since dressing in your new space will be quick and easy because you will know where everything is and ready to wear. The problem most of us encounter is just getting started. Most of us just don’t know where to begin.
  • Oh baby!

    The quaint area of downtown Chagrin Falls has incorporated a “little” modern twist, by introducing the Offspring boutique, which offers distinctive baby gifts and fashionable children’s apparel.
  • Believe in Cleveland

    Believe in Cleveland. That is how Timothy Kilkenny and a handful of local designers feel about the city of Cleveland. A month ago, they founded a web-based business called Collision Bend Clothing. The shirts they design are meant to be fun with Cleveland history and the suburbs.
  • The Designer Consignor

    If you’ve never stopped in The Designer Consigner on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, I highly suggest you find time to do it. Whether it is to drop off some of your clothes for consignment, or just a quick visit to scope out the racks, you won’t be disappointed. I had the opportunity to ask Molly Beargie, the owner, a few questions. Her answers not only explain consignments shops to those that may not be familiar with the process, they also reflect on her passion for fashion and the inner workings of the shop.
  • Sip & Stroll

    On the second Thursday of every month (until September) from 5-8 p.m., the boutiques in Old Detroit open their doors to an event called Sip & Stroll. It is a nice way to advertise their stores and spice up shopping in Old Detroit with a glass of wine. The crowds vary from start to finish, and the shoppers seem to enjoy the mood the event brings.
