• Portland makers of all things, fashion-related or not: Another reminder to look into hooking up with the Portland Made Collective (basic membership is free), and take part in the important, metrics-building work being done to foster Portland-made products as an “international marketing force.” They’re currently over 500 strong and counting. If you want to check it out first, consider attending their upcoming quarterly Makers Meetup Happy Hour on Thurs Sept 17 at MadeHerePDX. Also, make note that the launch of the Portland Made book, Portland Made: New American Makers of the Manufacturing Renaissance launches Dec 2 at Powell’s.

• Don’t forget! The late-summer edition of the Fade to Light fashion show is this coming Wednesday (Aug 26, Crystal Ballroom), featuring a grip of excellent local designers like Sara Bergman. Advance tickets are as low as 12 bucks, and it’s always a super fun show.
Oh good. Portland needed another thing with -fang in the name.
