Well, I had started an early hibernation of which the new Portland Collection snapped me out of- to many weekend trips into NYC for Fashion week events.... anyway. For those of you who have been fighting over classic 70's pendleton finds all over ebay and such will be happy to learn the new Portland Collection a collaboration between edgy young local designers and Pendleton will bring you to your knees with tears of joy! Made in the USA as well you are buying local! I am after the bag, scarve and the wonderful shawl cape! It has a sort of unisex vibe and the participating designers such as Rachel Turk, Nathaniel Crissman and John Blasioli made sure they were effortless and chic pieces. Small tidbits will be offered nationally at Anthropologie and about 130 smaller boutiques. This fall 2011 is shaping up to be all about going Native American or appreciating indigenous design. I will post some sources of authentic indigenous art and design soon! Something I will always support! Fashion is exploring also vintage more than ever so with a collection that has both Native American and vintge cuts in one you can't go wrong.
In NYC the collection is available Kaight stores:83 Orchard St., NY, NY and 382 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY. In Atlanta it is available at Bill Hallman near Lenox mall and online. You can also follow the Portland Collection on facebook!
