Fashion Kills Hunger Runway Review

by Sydney Chavez, Seattle’s Fashion examiner.

“If you didn’t make it out to The Chapel last night for the 1st Annual Fashion Kills HungerRunway show, you missed out! Angela Kantanto, owner of The Industry, alongside other young entrepreneurs, designers and boutique owners welcomed a packed house in an effort to fuse together fashion and philanthropy to benefit Northwest Harvest. The runway show featured TCM Models in fashions from Horseshoe in Ballard, Lizzie Parker (who recently opened an Eco-Atelier & boutique in Issaquah), Original Penguin and The Industry.

The runway show started almost 30 minutes “fashionably” late, but guests in attendance agreed it was worth the wait. The Horseshoe set featured a hot pink jumpsuit, a black and white gingham plaid dress with a black satin ribbon, and a jersey knit convertible dress which could be worn “20 different ways” as called out by boutique owner Jill Andersen as the dress went down the runway. Lizzie Parker’s set included teal ruched leggings made of organic bamboo and lycra, a hand-dyed orange and white maxi dress and a green long-sleeve mini dress. Original Penguin started their set with a classic white polo featuring a navy blue pop color chest pocket paired with some plaid yarn-dye shorts. For women, Original Penguin showed a cotton khaki dress with a belted waist and front button detail, tuxedo style tank tops and a longer length cable knit cardigan. The Industry boutique closed the show with an array of menswear looks including a long sleeve woven shirt paired with a skinny tie and a great pair of jeans, a blue and white argyle sweater, a heather gray cardigan, a leather M65 jacket and lots of denim.

Guests were asked to wear black to the event as a sign of their commitment to killing hunger in Seattle. Needless to say there was an overflow of little black dresses and sky-high heels at The Chapel last night. Guests sipped champagne and snacked on mini cupcakes from Wink.

The event also included a silent auction which helped to raise funds for Northwest Harvest’s 300 food banks and meal programs in the Seattle-area. Auction items included autographed baseballs by Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki, Gift Certificates to Pyramid Brewery, an organic and bamboo dress by Lizzie Parker and several jewelry items.

Overall, the event was a major success! The models looked amazing, the runway sets were fashionably edited and the crowd was enthusiastic about helping to raise money for a great cause.”

Fashion Kills Hunger! June 18th!

Hope everyone can make the fashion show! Come to the shop and get your tickets!

Spring GANT

GANT finished strong with their Spring delivery of light weight and breezy pieces! The woven is softer than any we’ve ever had and looks great with denim. The argyle sweater is wonderful with its old-school arm patch and baby blue color that will add to any Spring look.

‘Light Green Stripe Woven’: $114.50 

 ’Light Blue Argyle Sweater’: $169.50

Denim Sale!

Spread the love and get a little reward from The Industry

We love Seattle…and our tees say it all!

If you’ve lived in Seattle for more than thirty days you’ll start to develop a giant love for this city… whether its the food, scenery or the wonderful dog parks that give Charlie the opportunity to run in circles every Sunday afternoon; we live in a gorgeous place! Its been said that beauty inspires creativity and these shirts are prime example of how our city has been an inspiration for others.

Designed by one of our ever-so-talented interns, Francis (AKA Ringo), this tee is a combination of our logo and Seattle’s sky line. We lovelovelove them. And yes, its quite the biased opinion Sizes are limited so grab them while they last!

Ringo ‘Seattle Logo’ Tee: $29.50
AND…

The artist for Wet Cement made a recent trip to Seattle and snapped this cool picture of the intersection between Westlake and 6th Ave…. and we just HAD to get it! The graphic is on a great burn-out tee, like all other Wet Cement products. Between the picture and the soft feel of the shirt, we know its a piece all Seattle-ites should have in their Summer wardrobe.

Wet Cement ‘Westlake’ Tee: $74.50

Meet: our new reps!

Casey

We had the pleasure of meeting our new Penguin rep, Casey, this week on his recent trip to Seattle and we absolutely adore him! Casey enjoys a good early morning surf, watching indie movies like Once , baseball games with his new favorite Seattle girls (*ahem*) and selling the cutest Penguin threads in town!

Justin

 We picked up an awesome new line called COA and our new rep, Justin, is as cute as can be… I mean, look at his picture above rockin’ a leather jacket that will be in our store later this year Justin is also a super talented artist–check out his oil and acrylic paintings.

Take Me Out to The Ball Game!

A few of our reps came into town and we decided to buy their love and affection by taking them to the Mariner’s game! Who doesn’t love beer and hot dogs?! Meet the crew from the night: Bryan, Casey and Philly!

The night started on the right foot with Mike McCready from Pearl Jam rockin’ the national anthem!

AND Miss Megan recieved an early birthday shout-out on the scoreboard:

Angela & Bryan: the ONLY Angel fans around. We almost got beer dumped on us a few times due to their incessant cheering for their beloved team.

The boys giving Megan a big birthday hug! So cute!
