Behind the Scenes film of STALEY DESIGNS by Little Tree Studios

Consider the “big picture” perspective. Remember that Fashion contributes to nearly every realm of our culture, as it has for all civilizations past— Sports, Politics, Music, Advertising— the list goes on and on. Additionally, as fashion plays a major role in defining social class, I ask my readers to question if that’s all bad? Are people groups generally lowered with such standards, or are they heightened? Is fashion’s involvement in articulating social class levels mutually exclusive to defining personal character or individual experience? Ultimately, fashion is a form of art and therefor a means of communication, opening a multi-faceted dialect that words may struggle to stimulate. This is what fashion shows and their responsible parties are, in part, meant to bring together as an exciting outlet, showcasing designers’ talent as both dynamic metaphor and personal contribution to a culture. When a runway show is done correctly and well, every associated party benefits.

That a city like Columbus is developing an ever growing fashion presence excites me beyond words. The movement is finally expanding beyond the two-mile stretch of the Short North into our suburbs and neighborhoods, where the next generation of designers is being reached. With passionate organizations including but not limited to CMH Fashion Week and Highball Halloween, and the efforts of charity events like The Golden Age and Models, Martinis, and Movie on the Mile, local designers and therefore boutiques, bloggers, and buyers continue to find substance and opportunity to expand and profit. Columbus must consistently call forward talented designers throughout the Midwest, provide opportunities to showcase collections, and cultivate support with local sponsors and even major brands. Fashion is not and should never be only about making money but making statements that positively change, inspire, and free people.

Anyone can follow popular fashion guidelines, but not every city has an individual sense of style. It’s time to burn those stereotypically midwest khakis and start wearing what’s true to our inward self on the outside self. Take advantage of this united fashion front movement! Volunteer, sponsor, and support those worthy organizations working to make our state capital a hub of style and diversity that cannot be ignored.
