If you take a serious interest in the potential for the Pacific Northwest to play an influential role in the spreading of a culture change from fast to slow fashion (much as it has for food, and for very similar reasons), I highly recommend signing up for tomorrow's "Prototyping Fashion's Futures" symposium tomorrow at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. On a less serious note, tonight is also the vintage fashion show being held in conjunction with MoCC's "Fashioning Cascadia" exhibit, both of which you can read about in this week's Sold Out column.
