Fashion Forward

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013


Here are some of the designs from the 2013 Senior Collection.  The show,which is held annually at Syracuse University, kicked-off our fashion coverage last week.

What do you get when you give more than two dozen designers access to a runway for more than an hour?  Welcome to creativity meets opportunity.

Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Last night was the 6th Annual Milestone Fashion Show at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. The major organizing principle during the show was affordable fashion and thrift wear. The program (a collaboration between Newhouse and VPA) featured six sections divided into a 9 to 5/Work to Play theme.

Kudos to the students, who showed that fashion can be a barometer for the times and still be creative.

Detroit has style. So does Miami.  Is there a Syracuse style?
One person who taught me a lot about developing a sense of personal style was my former neighbor Lester Berman.  He owned a tailor shop and sold suits for decades in his family’s business in Midtown Syracuse .

Berman passed away about a decade ago, but he was a great example of style in Syracuse.
