The current issue features our annual fashion spread, published to coincide with our Open Season series of fashion shows popping off next week (Mon May 12-Wed May 14, go here for details and $5 advance tickets). To showcase designs from the designers who’ll debut new collections at the showsโ€”Alexa Stark, Crazy Wind, Mag-Big, and Portland Garment Factory’s HouseLineโ€”we drove out to Sand Lake, near Pacific City, with photographer Chantal Anderson and came back with more photos we loved than we could work into the layout. So here they are, in web-only bonus form, and if you’ve yet to check out the ones that made print, um, do that!
