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.
