Saturday night was another installment of the Sweet F.A (fashion + art) show put on by Doomtown Productions. Producers Elizabeth Mollo and Erin Cry have been hustling this show in Pdx for 7 years and it’s always a fun fest. I watched the show wedged between my former school chums, designers Emily Kathryn Carol and Janeane Marie, where we bopped our heads at the varied assortment that came down the runway. The designs ranged from grab the model, yank it off and wear it out of the bar to latex fetish wear that isn’t exactly something I’m ready to cruise the streets in (yet).
Adam Andreas showed a collection with neon color blocking and focused on the male jumpsuit. Clothing I could easily see on the guy cruising down the street on his fixed gear bike.
Carolyn Hart- A very wearable collection focused on knits with thoughtful details.
Clair - A cute vintage inspired collection with a range of prints.
Diana Pingul - Interesting embellished women's wear with one top that had me yell "Tina Turner!"
Moovmint - Dressed up fancy sneaker boots in every color or detail imagineable.
Owl Haus - I loved this shirt mixing an agular print with a soft sheer.
Squeak Designs - Ahhh, the fetish gear that could have hopped the street to attend Dante's Sinferno night.
