“A truly amazing designer is someone who lets their imagination run free, but still understands that the garments are to be beautiful, artistic, and wearable. You have to always try to outdo yourself. Every season has to be refined and there has to be growth and constant challenges with every new collection.”

(Don’t miss her Sample Sale)

**All pre-order purchases of the dress will get an automatic 10% off the regular sale price, and will receive an additional 10% online with the following promo code: DTD12AD. In addition, regular orders will be available online and in select stores in spring 2012.

Amanda Seales is featured in an exclusive DTD piece created by Gwen Beloti, a free flowing cocktail dress with sequin trimming and checkered strap back detail. The DTD dress is now available for purchase at Smashing Darling and select boutiques in NYC.  A portion of the proceeds will benefit two organizations near and dear to the creators’ hearts; Little Dresses for Africa and Adonai Partners. Both Gwen and Eboyné are passionate beyond measure about this collaboration and project. In keeping with the goal of DTD, these two women want to do their part in helping those in need. Their mission throughout the Design the Dream campaign is to bring awareness to their prospective charities. (Learn more here…)

Oct 1  4:00PM // Second Floor

After the success of Content in 2009, we’re again inviting our favorite local designers to individually take over one of 28 rooms on the second floor of Ace, and transform them into a living, breathing expression of their brands and unique inspirations. This event is not a trunk nor fashion show, but a representation of the sensibilities of Portland designers and a portrait of the vibrancy of our local design culture in relation to the larger fashion world in Los Angeles, New York and abroad.

The Bowler

Starting out as an image consultant, Zulema channeled her creativity and eye for detail into dressing artists for music videos. She soon honed in on designing handbags after growing increasingly tired of purchasing bags made from inferior materials at exorbitant prices. A New York girl at heart, Zulema is savvy, stylish and resourceful. A self professed accessories junkie, she designed AK with her own needs in mind. As such, AK bags are made from high quality Italian leathers and produced in small quantities – a feature that enables each bag to be given special care and attention. (Read more…)

Shop Allison Leigh Apparel on Smashing Darling

Allison has always been intrigued by fashion; starting out as an astute fondness for playing dress-up. Later, it became a source of rebellion…she didn’t want, under any circumstances, to adopt the conservative, cloned styles that were worn by her peers in the small Midwestern town in which she was raised. At age fourteen, Allison’s mother enrolled her in a sewing class, and she quickly discovered her ability to visualize an outfit, then create it with her own two hands. Never one to want to blend in with everybody else, she fell in love with the idea of being able to make and wear a garment that nobody else on the planet possessed….the ultimate in individuality and self-expression.
