As always, runway shows are inspiring, and this year's Independent Designer Runway Show was no exception.  It's wonderful to see such fresh, local designers who are making beautiful pieces and putting the Pacific Northwest on the fashion map.

Independent Designer Runway Show - Bellevue Fashion Week

Another Bellevue Fashion Week come and gone, but not to fret...we can relive all its wonderful moments through photos! One of the best shows that I'm happy to say seems to be an ongoing annual event is the Independent Designer Runway Show (IDRS). It's like our very own Project Runway, featuring a panel of local fashion industry experts, like well known stylists and image consultants, industry professionals from companies like Amazon, and Seattle Met's style editor, Laura Cassidy, who are both mentors and final judges with a selected group of local designer finalists, who get to present a collection on the runway and compete for a final $5,000 cash prize. Let's make it work, shall we?
