My Wife's Handbags up For Rising Star Fashion Award
I tried to warn you to buy one of my wife's designer handbags before she got famous. It may be too late. Next week she will be a finalist in the Phoenix Rising Star Fashion Awards:
Phoenix may not be an international center of fashion, but it is a hotbed of design.
The Valley brims with independent designers who make everything from
purses to baby clothes to yoga wear, all available at local boutiques
and/or online.Three promising Valley designers will receive Rising Star awards on Thursday, given by the Phoenix chapter of Fashion Group International,
a networking organization for fashion professionals. Awards are given
in three categories: clothing, accessory and interior design.

Sorry, newspaper photos really don't scan very well. They just had to use the chick with the guitar for the online article, so my wife's photo didn't make the online edition. Many of her funky handbag designs are online, and I posted here about the last exposure of her designer purses in Yes Magazine.
