Fashion Countown to the Art Institute’s 10th Anniversary Fashion Show: Erin Glanz
Posted by on Thu, Jun 12 at 12:09 PM
This Sunday at the Portland Art Museum (doors at 6:30, show at 7:30), the Art Institute of Portland is holding its 10th anniversary fashion show featuring work from students, graduating seniors, and alumni. This year’s crop is looking pretty fresh; I’ll be profiling some of the graduating seniors in the days leading up to the event, beginning with…
ERIN GLANZ
Erin Glanz’s collection is actually slated to be the finale of Sunday’s show, so if you’re the type to eat your dessert first, you’re right on board with the program here. Glanz earned a degree in psychology and spent some time in Chicago before beginning her formal training in apparel design in Florida, and worked for Diesel before moving to Portland to finish at AI (where she was given an A+ on her senior collection). She identifies the central concept as focused volume, immediately recognized in her pieces’ enveloping of the body in alternately fitted and voluminous shapes, all rendered in duchess satin and vivid colors inspired by lipstick:

Glanz's apparent inclination towards sculptural clothing is indicative of her primary designer inspirations, Balenciaga and Lanvin.
Post-graduate plans are, as ever, sketchy, but Glanz hopes to remain in the area. Those interested in her designs can contact her by email.

Neil DiamondAfter canceling his September performance in Portland, Neil Diamond is back and ready to blow us out of our seats! Fine, maybe he won’t “blow us,” but I bet he’ll come to the stage locked and loaded with hits such as “Cherry, Cherry,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “I’m a Believer.” And does anybody remember “Heartlight”? I do! WSH Rose Garden, 1 Center Court St., $55-120, 8:00 PM |

Portland Bicycle Lawyer Network
Don't settle for someone trying to make money off bicyclists.
Talk to a real Portland bicycle lawyer; not all Portland lawyers are real bicycle lawyers and they won't give you the extra passion that we feel makes a big difference when you do find a real Portland bicycle lawyer.
