Apparently they love Souchi in Seattle too. And not just Souchi, but Kate Towers, Elizabeth Dye, Dayna Pinkham, Liza Rietz, a broken spoke, Emily Ryan, Frocky Jack Morgan… all Portlanders who represented on the “local flavor” front at a fashion show called Thaw in Seattle last night. Seems like Seattle had to borrow pretty heavily from the PDX pool of talent, with our familiar names making for the majority of the designs. Hmm, interesting…
