05:00 PM : Locally Grown - Sustainable Fashion @ City Hall
Fashion Flyered by Rob W.
Tonight I propose a fashion sandwich. You must get an early start though. Begin at City Hall's sustainable fashion show Locally Grown at 5pm. Finish at Holocene's Design Your Own Fashion Show. The details are below.
We have a new batch of commissioners in City Hall and they are shaking things up. Live bands on the steps. Art openings early on first Thursdays, from 5-7. This one I recommend and it's a chance to talk to city staffers about what artists need in Portland.
If you have ever visited the bins, you are aware of fashion's resource intensive short life. Cotton requires large doses of pesticides to grow while synthetics are made of who knows what. Vegans eschew wool, leather and all manner of skins too. So one approach is reuse. The artist Pipiloti Rist, in a 1998 interview, proposes people "sew labels into their clothes; on the labels they would write where the clothes had been worn, what happened when they wore them and so on. Every piece of clothing would carry with it a full record of everything it had experienced." Last summer the Red 76 art collective produced their own version of this idea. Some of the clothing isn't landfilled but ends up in Africa as detailed in "How Susie Bayer's T-Shirt Ended Up on Yusuf Mama's Back", the oddessy of a piece of clothing traversing continents by returned Peace Corps volunteer George Packer.
Portland designers who reconstruct clothing are tapping this reuse meme too.
Another approach is to use bamboo fibers or fiber mixes and this is the approach Anna Cohen and Sameunderneath have taken. So for more information, just go to the event:
Portland Designers Anna Cohen, Sameunderneath and Saffrona show clothing of sustainable fabric.
Accessories of sustainable fabrication will be shown by Entermodal, Lucina, Nora Catherine and DoubleCross Belt Co..
Artists showing work include: Roll Hardy, Faulkner Short, Miss Mona Superhero, Pasha, Mary Culbertson, Shirley Barley, Shannon Richardson , Matt Raufman, Alia Smith, Colleen Coover, Jennifer Hazzard, Brian Parnell, David Burkvan, Saska Schmidt, and Terence Healy.
They will have food and drink too.

07:00 PM : MONSIEUR T. LAUNCH PARTY @ Cal's Pharmacy
Fashion Flyered by kmikeym
MONSIEUR T. FALL/WINTER ’06 LAUNCH PARTY + ART SHOW
Monsieur T., an independent local t-shirt company, will celebrate the launch of their Fall/Winter ’06 line with a party showcasing their new designs coupled with an opening reception for “Among Us”, the first solo art show of local up-and-comer and Monsieur T. artist, Ryan Berkley. Come check it out Friday, September 15th from 7-10pm at Cal’s Pharmacy, 15 NE Hancock St., Portland (next to the indoor skate park, Dept. of Skateboarding).
This will be the first opportunity for the public to view and purchase items from the new line, which features designs by such local celebrities as Bwana Spoons and Martin Ontiveros.
Ryan Berkley has designed some of Monsieur T.’s best selling t-shirt graphics, from a turtle ravaging the city of Portland to a vintage diver’s encounter with a shark. He also illustrated the book Super Crafty: Over 75 Amazing How-To Projects, published by Sasquatch Books last fall. View his portfolio online at www.ryanberkley.com.
Established in 2004, Monsieur T.’s designs are inspired by skateboard culture and the indie art scene. Always on the lookout for fresh talent, they include artist collaborations in their line of screenprinted tees. The t-shirts are sold at select independent boutiques nationwide and on their website, www.monsieurt.net

07:00 PM : Adam Arnold Fashion Show @ DWR
Fashion Flyered by Rob W.
Adam Arnold makes clothes for women and men. That's unusual in a town where the screened tee is considered a fashion statement for men. In Brooklyn, the low down style is rationalized as an anti-crime measure, a cloak of invisibility for trust fund kids. Is it necessary here though?
For contrast, see Arnold's bespoke design style in a runway show at Design Within Reach, which sells furniture similar in attitude. Arrive early to sit inside, or watch through streetside windows.

06:00 PM : Portland Fashion Week @ A Shipyard
Fashion Flyered by Rob W.
Fashion has sometimes a bad rap. It stands in for economic-class issues, celebrity culture, junior high in-ies vs out-ies carried on into life. On the other hand, it is a form of communication at a distance which can be used to fight evil. And make people smile. In Portland I think it is a force for good. Independent creative artists started by reconstructing previously made pieces and then added new sustainable materials to the mix. It is supporting people economically in Portland and we are even exporting beautiful things to other cities. That's economically sustainable.
Portland Fashion Week is a distillation of all of those creative vectors. If you are going, consider what one of a kind or small local label item you will wear to communicate your values at a distance. Maybe you made it yourself.
Much more informed information than I can provide on all the events can be found at ultrapdx.com. The venue is the always surreal Portland Shipyard. Leave plenty of time to find and arrive. Depending on what space they are using at the shipyard, tickets may be limited.
Details on all of the events at Portland Fashion Week. Tickets are also available in person at Dragonlily, Souchi, Visage, Dana Lynn, Greenloop and IDOM
Events span October 19-24
