On the Street: Button-down Plaid

 

Some times nothing works harder than a laid back plaid.

This is man style, simple but effective: a button-down plaid shirt, work pants, and suede Nikes.  Just kick back and let them come to you.

Street Style: Designing Woman

Designs on Style: This Sacramento Fashion Plate Makes Clothes

Check out this morsel of style perfection spotted at the Elks Tower during Sac Fashion Week. This woman expresses the right mix of personality, funky chic and sophistication. I personally love the brilliant mix of fake fur, animal print and plaid, the play on textures, and those neutral peep-toe booties that kept everything grounded. It turns out that this lovely woman is a clothing designer. In fact, she was one of the designers from the Emerging Designers showcase. When I asked her to describe her collection she said: "The one with the Afros." Her name is Maisha Bahati. Memorize that name. I expect you'll be seeing more of it.
